TheBukafax Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Spain is clearly superior. Why did they choose to keep Kline and over Spain? Highpockets84 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not 'clearly superior' or they wouldn't have kept Kline over him. Spain had to be pulled out of a game he was so bad.

SleepingTitan Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Spain can't run block worth a fuck. Obviously we're gonna try to build on the strength of last season... Bluth 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
japan Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Right. Kline is the better blocker in open space. Plus, I think a lot of Spain's issues were mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctm Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 It's their contract status. Spain was a free agent. Kline has part of his 2019 base guaranteed. But it's not over by a long shot yet. You could make an argument that Kline is the weakest link of all the starters. The remainder of his 2019 base gets fully guaranteed in 5 days, btw.

Ricky Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 It's in large part a $$ thing. Kline still has 3 years left on his contract. If they cut him now, they'd have to eat $3.5 million of his salary. If they cut him next year, number drops to $1 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kline had some bad games, but with Saffold coming into LG, there's really no room for Spain. It's best to let him find a new home elsewhere. This might be his last contract.

Kline also didn't have a healthy, elite tackle covering for his fuckups like Spain did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mythos27 Posted March 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I think Spain is way better than the turn-stile that is Kline. What I think is irrelevant though. The FO clearly doesn't think that and I trust them enough to take their analysis at face value. It sucks to disagree but in the end you gotta just trust the people who see these guys every single day. I'm over pining for Spain but I still want Kline replaced despite his contract indicating he isn't going anywhere. Kline sucks.

Right but I'm not sure Kline gets paid if the FO thought Spain was better. Maybe I missed something in how that all went down. I think @tgo prefers Kline to Spain as well though I'm not positive about that. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's treated Spain the way we'd expect him to treat a guy that plays like Kline. ChemEngr79, and bosss50 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
