I’m surprised people are talking about this more. I know lots of people including myself had high hopes for the guy. Considering the lack of talent at the position it seemed like he was going to be a lock. Now he’s on our practice squad and could be picked up by another team at any time.

 

if I remember correctly this guy needed money to pay for his mothers doctor bills and went to the XFL. I thought getting experience in a professional football league would have helped him more than playing in college.

 

maybe I was just over hyping the guy, but I’m shocked that no one is talking about this in the forum.

I'm really hopeful for him.  From what I saw of him in the XFL he looked like a legit player.  So yeah, I was both surprised and disappointed that he was cut, especially over a guy like Thomas-Oliver, who was a later pick, considered much more of a developmental prospect, and someone I hadn't heard anything about throughout camp.  

Not saying I wanted STO cut either, just saying in comparison, I was surprised by the move, but glad he's still on the PS.

I was disappointed that he was cut, but at the same time I want us to keep the best football players regardless of draft position. If the UDFA outplays the 5th rounder, keep the UDFA.

There is literally almost zero difference between a 5th rounder and a UDFA. Might as well just pull names out of a hat after round 4.

I'm excited an undrafted kid took his spot. Tells me we have have found a real keeper. 

Robinson cleared waivers and is back on the practice squad where hopefully he improves. 

I assume your talking about the CB from ole miss?

To be fair, they kept 4 Undrafted guys. And I'm not so sure if any of these guys are "real keepers." Only time will tell if they found some diamonds in the rough.

Making our roster this year in particular isn't a great indicator of being a long-term "keeper", that's for sure.

On the flip side, failing to make our roster this year might be a really good indicator that you're quite simply not NFL caliber. I get it, some decent guys get caught up in a numbers game on some rosters with excellent depth at certain positions. I'm honestly not seeing that particular position group on this roster.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
