Shelton was put on IR, because he had such a bad pre season that the staff could'nt justify putting him on the team over Robertson. And had shelton been put on the practice squad. Someone else would have given him a chance on there 53 man roster. Him getting hurt last pre season could end up beng one of the best thins that ever happend to us. If he can contribute this year. Which I really really hope he can do.

Yep, he very well may just need some practice and coaching. Playing at UL, he shared the backfield with two other guys. They had the luxury of being able to use each guy in a specialty role. Shelton was basically used as a sledgehammer runner. He had ridiculously high YPC and TDs. However, sharing the backfield with other guys may have hampered his development since other guys could be used on passing downs. Why would they bother to develop Shelton's blocking and receiving abilities when they had other guys that were better at these roles? They simply played the other guys on passing downs and let Shelton hammer away.

Look back at the early career of Stephen Davis and you'll read about similar issues to those that Shelton is having now. Whether Shelton works as hard as Davis did and overcomes them remains to be seen.

Honestly, his "broken foot" (however valid...or not) was likely a good thing overall. The coaches knew he wasn't ready last year, but putting a second round pick on the practice squad just isn't done (especially not after you just put your third rounder there).

I think a backfield of Chester Taylor, Nick Goings and Eric Shelton could be interesting.

If all else fails couldn't we do the same thing with him?

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
