Since according to many on here we’re switching to a ground and pound team this year I’m guessing there’ll be virtually no tread left on his tires by then. 😉
I believe you’re missing the point. The criticism isn’t directed at Knox, the player. It’s directed at the Front Office for his contract first, and for his use in the offense second. I hope that helps.
I’m not actually referring to those that have been cut. I’m referring to those players that never got a chance to compete. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of college football players that don’t get drafted. They all put in the time.
That of course can happen as well….but generally not at the NFL level. Just the other day we were discussing who the Bills should sign with their remaining few million dollars. I don’t recall anyone suggesting they should go look across the street to see if any of the new stadium steel riggers had potential, because after all they lift heavy stuff every day. 😉
I have no idea what you do for a living but I’m dying to hear if you’d have the same reaction if after getting your accounting degree you found out your potential employer passed you over for that internship because they decided to roll the dice on a guy who they heard was good at math.
Worried…no. I just think it’s sad for another young man and his family who put hours of work in for many years. There are a very finite number of spots available.
Sure! You’re not going to get a try out son…..but stick by the phone…and let your parents know there’s a really good chance this novelty wrestler will flame out.
Are we really having this discussion? You think the NFL is going to hold a Super Bowl where the entire west coast will have to get up at 6:00am just to see the kickoff? Really? 🙄
Look at it another way. It then means a different player who’s devoted his life to playing football is sitting home so the Bills can bring in a novelty player that’ll never make the team.
I find these signings to be pretty troubling. Doesn’t this mean that they also have to release someone? So a young man who’s devoted his life to playing football and gets his shot on an NFL roster is told he has to go home because the Bills have decided to give his spot to a novelty dude who’s never played the game? Sad.
