Wow....

Gotta wonder if he's considering retirement honestly. If this truly stems from concussion, he must have gotten completely effed up.

Best wishes.

I don't really like those picks with a team that has as many holes as the Chiefs did n 2013, but it was a far better selection than McCluster, who was not only too damn small, but too damn slow.

This was kind of the point I was trying to make. I don't like gadget players anywhere before round 5. Fact is that both DAT and McCluster were bad draft picks.

I liked DAT as a player, but every time he got hit it liked like he literally got killed.

I was looking at the transactions page to see if I could find anything on who was being signed to take his spot. I didn't find anything, but I did notice that the Chargers cut Vincent Brown again. Wow! What happened to him? He was such a promising receiver. But now, with San Diego having absolutely nobody to catch the ball, he still can't hold a roster spot.

Mellinger said something similar, (paraphrasing) "He has some things to work out."

It really sounds like his heart just isn't in the game.

No problem with where he was picked. After the top 100 picks, it's a complete crapshoot of Project players. That's the perfect time to take guys like that

Well, I think it's "heart isn't in the game because he's freaked out that he's gonna get hit again and not think straight for the rest of his life." Omitting the concussion aspect of it makes it sound like he just got lazy all of a sudden.

Wouldn't be the first player to just walk away and injury have nothing to do with it, but of course, it absolutely could have a lot to do with it.

Well, here is the play that did it.

So long, DAT. Maybe. Enjoy every sandwich.

Red Dawg · 12-31-2015, 04:21 PM

You never know what the docs told him. He's small and maybe his concussion was super bad and they got him thinking about his health. He was not a bad draft pick and has been all class. If he quits I wish him the best.

Chromatic · 12-31-2015, 04:23 PM

He was definitely out on his feet for a few seconds.

Has he spoken about it at all?

Probably this. If dude is afraid to take any hit then there's not a lot you can do. Not faulting him for doing what he thinks he needs to do if this is the case but sucks all the same.

Doubtful. Very likely would have been discovered by now.

Thanks. I remembered the hit but wanted to see it again.

I don't think it was an intentional head shot, but I could see someone else interpreting it differently.

Concussions are fickle now especially with all of the CTE effects. He couldn't stay healthy last year and now has this issue. I support him whatever he does. Didn't live up to his potential.

Yeah, why would any player sign with them in the future knowing that GM (who was extended before the 2015 season) would pull some shit like that?
