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.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
