From 8 players to 10 players per Rotoworld

 

How do you think this affects our upcoming decisions now? 

 

The NFL is expected to increase the size of practice squads from eight to ten players this season.

That opens up 64 more jobs across the league, and each team will now employ 63 players. Teams will love it, as they're now able to stash even more potential talent and develop more youngsters across the season.

I agree with the idea.

 

Frankly, if it were up to me, the active roster limit would also be increased (to 55).

 

I agree. And gameday inactives would be a thing of the past. If they are on the active roster, they should be able to be active on gameday.

I'm actually okay with the whole 'gameday inactive' thing for the rationale behind it.

 

I don't necessarily think it needs to be eight players though.  I'd say five is enough, even on an expanded roster.

I agree with this.  I have never fully understood why if you are on the active roster you can't dress.  

 

I like the 10 practice squad players but I don't care that you have to waive them first.  Risking losing a player you have spent time on developing.

 

Increase the roster size to 63 allow for 53 active and 10 practice squad but you can call any up at any time.  Kind of like baseball does with pitchers in the minors.  They bring one up for a spot start and option another player to the AAA club until they are finished with the spot start.

 

Keep the tenure rule for Practice Squad too.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
