Scarlett to IR

[BIGH2001]

Every move this team makes is fuging stupid and makes no sense.

Huh!! Doing what was he even on the active roster!?? Haven’t seen him since preseason!! Rivera and Hurney beefing up their injuries alibi to stick around!!

Hurney wasted a draft pick on him to sit on the bench behind CMC.  He went to IR with an infected wound on his a$$ suffered from a splinter incident riding the pine all season.

I just died lol

no, that's the point. Plus it seems like they want to give Davis a possible look. So this is just a end of the season dump to get OL help on the active roster. 

Lundblade and McGhin's pictures are in Websters right beside the definition of "difference makers".

Its starting to feel like preseason again..all the 1's "suddenly injured"..or needing rest.. so just throw in the 2's and 3's.. let them get reps..

I suppose the will to win, is starting to, if not already gone.

Wait.... knee/ankle? That’s a first.

Hopefully our new coach will use him next year.

I didn't like the pick when it happened.  I figured he would get 'CAPed' or 'Andersoned' anyway.  True to form, Scarlett got some STs snaps along with some of the best seats in the house to watch the games.  He was a slight reach in the fifth round and we had bigger fish to fry than a 3rd string RB at that point.

This is pretty common late in the season. Teams do this to take a look at guys on the street before off-season roster churning. It's just a way to broaden your roster.

This whole year is an extreme disappointment. Game of Thrones, Avengers Endgame, and now the Panthers.

at least His Dark Materials, See, Hanna, and the Mandalorian are awesome.

I sense it needs clarification, sadly.

Ok, here goes.  When Hurney realizes he has put together yet another dud of a roster, he insulates himself and his decisions by sending his FAs and Draft picks to IR.  This, in the past, has given him an excuse for ol JR that “if his guys were healthy....” and it would work.  

If Tepper has half a functioning synapse he will see thru this ruse immediately.   I hope.  I pray.  I beg.  I beseech.  I implore.

It’s pretty common for Marty whose teams haven’t been in contention late in a while.

Also, no this isn’t common. Most teams out of contention would rather get their 5th round pick work than get a look at a guy who’s at best a camp body. It makes no sense that Scarlett would be the guy you don’t want to get a better look at.

This is the typical cover your ass approach and get the IR list long. We picked up Davis and Moncrief and they have yet to touch the ball. When are we going to take a look at them to expand our roster?

No, this is pretty common with players with minor injuries. It's not up for debate as it happens every year. You're about to see many teams do similarly when they're eliminated from the playoffs.

Getting young guys reps when they're injured, even if minor, isn't something that coaches do however.

Why do I even bother.
