LDT - Cap hits total for those 16 games missed? $13.5 million.
Berry - Cap hits total for those 29 games missed? $30 million.

So one guy costing the team 13.5m to sit on the sidelines is GOOD? Because apparently that seems to be the case considering the same clowns crying over Berry are silent about LDT. BOTH are missing games and BOTH cost a lot of money for their respective positions. But yet only ONE gets grief!!!...

Apples v oranges. Berry has been cleared to play all season and has held himself out. Big difference.

"Cleared" by who? The man has an injury that John Wall just had his season ended by. The notion that he is "deciding" not to play is just pathetic and it's spewed by the same idiots who don't give a damn about Eric's health. In order to play Berry most likely has to endure a lot of pain. The fact that folks don't care about that and just want to be "entertained" just sums up this country and many NFL fans tbh.

Whether he plays or not has been in his hands. That is the difference.

Dude (or dudette ... dudeperson ... dudentity ... whichever the case may be), I'm sorry to tell you, but your argument makes no sense whatsoever.

Just so you know ...

I think it's more like people get injured and are out for a season all the time...but Berry has been out for 2 seasons and according to the team, he's "day to day" all this year. I'm not mad at Berry so much as I am the Chiefs. 2 seasons. Granted, hindsight is 20-20 and I'm sure he and the team thought this would not go on as long as it has. But all they've said is it's a "sore heel" and it's "day to day" and then Berry says his "spirit" wasn't feeling it...

...it's because the defense sucks and we need him and he's not there, for whatever reason. We've done fine on Offense without LDT. It's really not the same as much as you'd like to believe it is. If he's got a chronic condition, say it then. It's frustrating, but I don't hate Berry for it.

I'm frustrated about it as well. But what I find disturbing is the utter disdain some folks seem to have for Berry when his injuries are out of his control. The guy tore his Achilles, comes back to training camp and looks in good shape. Then out of nowhere he stops camp and weeks later we here about the heel issues. It's widely acknowledged that he'll need surgery to clear it up and it would take around six months to recover. If he would have had surgery in the off-season then his season would have most likely been over. But no, he chose to fight on and eventually got to a space where he came back and has played in a few games. This whole thing is about him coping with the pain until the end of the season and then he can get surgery, but folks are so childish and ignorant that they are abusing the man and being extremely heartless. They also contradict themselves because they moan about the "contract", then turn around and call for him to be "cut", thus creating a whole load of dead money. It just doesn't make sense at all.

IF Berry cannot play again this season then I hope he gets his surgery and over the summer Veach can speak with him and see if they can make a few tweaks to that contract. But to suggest we should "give up on him" is stupid imo. Because when he is healthy he would no doubt improve this defense next season.
