..by us, per ESPN... RR & Co knew who they wanted.. I dont recall seeing this kind of thing in past years, did I miss it or is it not normal? Anybody know about any of these players? Mostly special teams filler or camp fodder?

You would think one of those RB will make the team. Josh Vaughan is a special teams guy only and certainly upgradeable.

not necessarily. We may see some guy better out there that a team releases after preseason that we decide to go get and lose these guys. I'm excited about that Princeton guy. 5'7 with 4.3 speed. From the youtube videos he definitely seems like that Darren Sproles type. Doesn't mean he will be as good.

All these guys suck, end of discussion.

Some comments like these piss me off. These kids have been given a shot. Their parents are proud of them right now and they are excited to get a chance. Just to write them off and say they suck before they even step foot on the field makes you look ridiculous and demeans each kid. Right now they are Panthers.

Undrafted gems are found every single year. Every. Single. One. Let these guys go out there and give it what they have got. Form your opinions about them later. The competition of the underdogs fighting relentlessly to beat the odds are what makes teams better. Rivera preaches competition. The fans need to embrace it too, no matter how much each player we bring in appears to "suck".

That's great that it pisses you off and good for them that they have been given "a shot." However, this is a business first, and a sport second. If you don't get drafted, you instantly have a slimmer chance of making the roster than the players that were drafted. These "undrafted gems" you speak of don't show up very often and for every "undrafted gem" you can mention, I can mention a first round player that is considered to be one of the best in the game. The fact is most of these undrafted guys if any of them won't even see the third week of the preseason. No need to get offended, they are getting there chance and I'm sure they will make the most of it but don't expect them to go out there and make the team.

If you want to speak on "business", you should know a businessman leaves no stone unturned when looking to make a profit. Not saying they will make the team, but we had 3 of our UFA make it last year and helped this team in some way. It's possible it will happen again.

Also teams look for a chance to sign the cheaper guy to do the same job equally, if not better than the guy making more money that he's competing with. That would be the business aspect.

      Steelers Trade WR Pickens to the Cowboys

      Like your sense of humor.  The answers we seek often lies in the question we ask.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Icege · Posted

      This is going to be one of the more competitive camps we've had at WR in awhile... The only locks are XL, TMac, and AT. Coker and Horn Jr both have strong chances at making it. I can see David Moore being WR6. Renfrow might be the WR7 if they decide to carry that many, or he could join Dan Chisena on the PS (who gets stashed to help on ST more than at WR).

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      Sure, but I have long acknowledged he got better.  He went from horrific to mid-lower end starter.  But now you can’t say that…..you got people wanting to spin top 10 play if you look at it this way, great deep ball passer if you only acknowledge x.   I mean the headline in that article is nice for fans to run with.   But in reality Bryce Young was not the best deep passer in week 12.  Far from it.  He went 2 of 7 with no TDs deep.  The week was full of guy who went something along the lines of 3 of 4 with a bomb TD.   So Bryce then gets appointed best deep passer for say….plays like a 50/50 jump ball while trailing late to a fully covered AT that goes incomplete but could have been something given how the defender played it….not an actual good play.  But that could have been a good play.  I mean, same play could have been a pick if everything else was the same and the defender who had AT blanketed played the ball better (nothing changes for Bryce in terms of what he did.  It’s just a 50/50ish ball to someone covered)….and his entire best deep passer week 12 is built off plays that never happened over guys that actually got it done.   we should be happy Bryce with from shouldn’t of been drafted play to serviceable starter last year.  But all this spin that he is somehow actually sneaky great just ain’t something I’m doing yet
