53 Man Roster - Cuts - What Do You Think?

This year is different than the past because there is only one cut day.  All cuts will be done at once to get to 53.  In the past there were a couple of cut-down days to reduce the roster until teams get to their final 53.  I haven't been a proponent of this new rule.  I liked being able to slowly reduce the roster size by having multiple cut days.  

My biggest argument for this is: With less people on the practice field the more reps potential roster guys get.  This is huge in my opinion.  This year is an outlier for us because of Cam's shoulder but in a normal universe the time for QBs and WRs to get comfortable is incalculable. The time for new guys to learn a defense is needed.  These coaches know who isn't going to make the team...go ahead and release them. 

The counter-argument is: Someone can impress after the 3rd preseason game.  This in my opinion is rare unless injuries play a part but at that point they know who they want or can fill in.

What say you Huddle?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
