But but he got cut from *insert team name here* he sucks!...

[top dawg]

But, Clowney's gone! He's gone! We have to accept it and hope that AE miraculously turns into a pro wide-out. I'm finished. :mad::mad5::rant:

why must you judge him right away? why can't you withhold judgement until you see him on the field?

why not? if i can't see how the team benefits from grabbing a scrub from a team that is weak at the position, i'm not going to pretend i don't and i don't feel it necessary or particularly helpful to keep criticisms or legit concerns quiet.

either way, it doesn't matter how good or bad you feel about a decision because until it's tested in games that matters (or gets cut before that happens) we won't really know how it will work out. doesn't mean we should all blindly agree that it is a great decision.

if you say it's a good call, you are judging him in the same way someone who says it isn't a good call.

Max Jean-Gilles got cut from the Bengals, he must suck

[Brooklyn Bully]

The five we signed today will get us 8 wins easily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While a player who got cut somewhere else may not always suck, it's VERY rare that they'll be a success with their new team. If you expect Fiametta and Clowney to be pro bowlers somewhere else, you're insane.

All 1,696 players in the NFL are pro bowlers. Learn something new every day.

I love how GrG thinks everyone sucks...

except Jay Cutler ;)

I thought that a good way to bolster the argument would be to cite all of the players who had been cut and went on to successful careers with other teams. But I couldn't really think of any off the top of my head. Maybe someone else can think of examples?

I think that would be a long list my friend.

you could find them. i'm sure, but the list of those who sucked with every team they went to would be a whole lot longer.

DT Dixon was cut from the Washington Redskins and now he's a starter on the Eagles defensive line.

I think that would be a long list my friend.

I'm not talking about veterans who have already had successful careers, but have been waived in salary cap moves. I'm talking about players who have been waived in their first or second year, but caught on with their next team and had long and productive careers. Not saying they don't exist at all, I just don't care to look them up.

Jovan Haye is one that comes to mind. Evan Mathis could be considered. And when you look at guys like that, the OPs argument is even stronger that the chicken littles need more of a "wait and see" approach with these types

Warner was cut by the Packers in 94 and it took 4 years for him to get back in the league.
