49erurtaza Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 im ok with this for now but we need to draft a center in mid rounds. Kilgore always ends up getting in hurt and he was never good he was just average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Woot, 3 more years of below average and sometimes lousy center play. Good thing we have great guards. Oh wait.... We better go out and get great guards lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Honestly, the only thing that would bug me about this is if it prohibits us from drafting a guy like Price / Daniels / etc who could be an immediate upgrade at Center. I'm not too put off by eschewing the free agent market for Kilgore. Jensen from Balt was pretty solid this year, but it was his first year starting (and he's beenin the league several years), and while he would have been an improvement, he largely just seems to be the best of a bad crop. The feeling I've gotten about him from Ravens fans is that he's largely serviceable to above average. Add to that the fact that he's going to be paid quite a bit given the weak center market (and several teams like the Jets, Bills, Bengals needing a center), he's probably in line for a good contract. Richburg would be a no brainer, particularly for this scheme, but dude can't stay healthy in the least. That would be a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustrianNiner Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Uagh...I know he gets a lot of praise for being a great locker room guy, but he really is not a good Center. Certainly need some good guards now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big9erfan Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I can't evaluate o-line play worth a damn. So what do I know? It looked to me like his play this year varied from bad to OK at best. I've read that he was one of the lower rated centers in the league. But our FO must see something in him. Fine. Now just go draft Nelson or sign Norwell or Pugh. Bring back a healthy Brown and hope that Garnett has transformed himself like we've read that he has and maybe all will be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically how I have seen him, so I'd say that's pretty accurate. He did perform better down the stretch..now, you can attibute that to getting more comfortable in the scheme, but I largely think it's due to the quality of opponents. He's been on of the lower rated centers on PFF (which okay, isn't really saying anything) for pretty much his entire career. But for all i know, he could be extremely good at making the line calls and things like that which we don't really see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justone2 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 He appears to be really well liked in the locker room and judging by all the praise he is getting he has a good understanding of the game. He isn't really the overpowering C that creates a hole by himself but if he can be the brains of the O-line and get him surrounded by four quality O-lineman i am fine with him. I can't remember him botching snaps and such either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataal Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Jimmy GQ seems to really like Kilgore. I wonder how much of Jimmy's endorsements weighed in on this deal. In any case, it's not horrible, but we definitely could upgrade that position. Maybe with some competent guards, Kilgore will look much better.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Probably a stipulation of Jimmy's contract. Clearly. Well, that's what I'm going to tell myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw2noobbuster Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 He's been hurt. Let's see if he can play better if he can stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
struby3 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 According to PFF, he was a top 10 center in the games in which Jimmy played. I'm pretty meh on this resigning. Would still like to add a developmental guy behind him. Maybe that is Magnuson. Maybe it is a mid-rounder. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49erurtaza Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Per his conference call with media Kilgore says its a team friendly deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty amazing what Jimmy G did for the offensive line. Laken Tomlinson actually ended up rated an "average" guard for the year by the end of the season, same for Fusco.

N4L Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Curious to see the money. I predicted two years 6/7 million. So hopefully its a fluff third year. https://ibb.co/m26ki7 ^^^ Still hilarious (not sure why the picture isn't posting - don't worry, nothing sketchy on this weird URL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
