NFL Cuts

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

Feels like I see the phrase "former high draft pick from the Patriots cut" a lot these days.

They haven't necessarily drafted particularly well for a while now.

(hence the massive free agent frenzy of a couple years ago that included Cam Newton)

Im pretty sure the Patriots have never been good at drafting... They have been good at signing FAs and Scheming.

Sure it wasn't Kenjon Barner? He even won Superbowls with the Patriots, not that he was very good.

played nine seasons and won three super bowls

He didn’t become Barry sanders but I imagine he’s reasonably happy with the career he had

I think Pioli did at least a half decent job.

Obviously luck plays a factor with guys like Brady.

Nah....He produces on O on par with Thomas but can't block.  

 

I dont think Thomas can do like half these things that he did in one preseason game.

Cut Corral and bring him home. It'll please the size bros too

Who? I think Bailey Zappe > Corral for what it's worth.

Keep up with the conversion UNC fanboy.  That's Holton "Mr ECU" Ahlers, one of the largest QBs from the last draft class.

Yes, I am the fanboy who wants the Panthers to sign some out of shape scrub QB from EZU. I’ve never heard of him, but I would be willing to bet my next large, very lucrative paycheck he plays as many regular seasons games the next ten years that you do.

Yeah I’ve never heard of Holden Anderson or whatever his name is. People wanting us to sign him….come on.

Settle down it was in jest for the most part. Mocking the size bros also.

Oh, I doubt he ever plays a down in the NFL regular season as well.

Yep. I guess he missed out, ignored, or forgot about all the posts that were made leading up to the draft.

Yeah, they've been middle of the pack at drafting. They had a huge competitive advantage during the Belichick/Brady duo era of being able to stockpile vets chasing rings. If you were a proven vet with fug you money already in the bank and truly wanted that SB ring to crown your career, it was by far your #1 destination of choice.

Yet he has 3 years of looking like Thomas.

Yeah that tends to help a little bit!
