Panthers tried signing a RB...

but skins said psychhhh

Redskins practice squad RB James Davis indicated on Twitter that the Panthers tried to sign him to their active roster Monday, but that Washington blocked the move.

Tweeted Davis, "I thought stayin' here could be a good fit plus the Skins took care of me." Teams can increase practice squad salaries in order to "block" players from signing with active rosters elsewhere. It also sounds like Davis is confident he could get a look on Washington's 53-man roster before the season is through. Davis is someone to keep a close eye on with Ryan Torain (hamstring) and Clinton Portis (groin) banged up.

So guys are passing on an active NFL roster spot to stay on the PS. Wow. HC search will be about the same based on the tune Fox is singing right now. Low point in Panthers history is right now.

Everyone gets healthy and he is gone. Prolly made a good decision since the Skins obviously like him.

eh, Davis is just thinking long term. Carolina has Williams, Stewart, Sutton and Goodson. He would be a one week or two week fill in and gone. Redskins don't have that kind of depth at RB. I think what Davis said makes sense....he has a better shot of being a legitimate player for Washington.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
