The people putting this out aren't a viable source. They throw crap at the walls all the time hoping something will stick. That said, with the injury to Doyle and Shell's retirement, I'd hope they'd look at someone. Peters is a Mummy at this point though. At 41 years old, he's the oldest active player in the entire NFL. Van Demark looked good late in the game. Quite possible they feel his two years in the system is a better option than anyone out there at this point. Everyone left is very old and/or without a team for a reason.

He made these plays last season with minimal reps as a Rookie that they spent a high 5th on and another pick to trade up and grab him. That's what makes him safe. Shorter and Isabella will probably be here as well. We kept 7 WR's to start last season after the Pre-Season and I'd expect the same here. But as I said, the bottom line is the team values him, his growth, and the investment he made. Even with the bad drop in the last game, he made two tough catches before that happened. A guy running with the 1's and 2's exclusively isn't all of a sudden going to be cut because of a play or two in the Pre-Season.

Okay, I will. It doesn't really matter if you've picked out a play or two this Pre-Season that was less than. What matters is how the team has positioned him during Training Camp and the Pre-Season and the investment they've made in him. He's not going to go from running with the 1's and 2's exclusively to not even being the 6th or 7th WR on this team. The dude is safe. Posters do this every season. Pick out a player or two they think shouldn't be here and when cuts are made they're safe because of their standing with the team and the investment made.

Because of his performance last season, what they invested in him, and wanting him to grow through in season experience. It doesn't really matter how others behind him play or what he does in minimal Pre-Season snaps. He hasn't done anything so terribly that they're washing their hands of he investment.

If Shakir were in trouble as much as posters like to make him out to be, he'd be being showcased now and playing late in the Game. He's consistently running with the first and second teams and out of the game early. Wouldn't shock me if he's inactive next week. The team values him and his potential growth. Like I said, I think they keep 7 again as they started with last season. Pretty sure all 3 of Shakir, Shorter, and Isabella are safe. Positive Shakir is.

I personally feel we're going to keep him and keep 7 WR's at this point. But every year you see guys who perform well in the Pre-Season be cut in favor of a guy who's done very little, but was consistently given a higher snap count or standing on the Depth Chart all offseason. Shakir showed promise last season, making some difficult catches. They invested multiple picks in him to trade up and take him at the top of the 5th last season. Like it or not, that's how the cookie crumbles. Pre-Season warrior play more often than not means very little when it comes to the bottom of the roster vs. Draft Picks. If he were in as much trouble as fans like to make him, he'd be still playing right now. Dude is safe. Wouldn't shock me to see him inactive next week.

He's at least the #2 Slot on this team. Consistently runs early in the game and out by the time the 3rd or 4th squads hit the field. It's not about how you view him or what he's "done" in the Pre-Season. It's about how the team views him. And at no point has he looked in danger of being cut with where he stands on the depth chart during Training Camp or the Pre-Season.

Doubtful. Shakir and Shorter will both be here. It's just a question of whether we short change another position and keep 7 to keep Isabella or not. We did keep 7 to start last season, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Pretty confident in saying you're wrong. He was on the field earlier and is done for the night already.

He would have even before Shell's retirement and Doyle's injury. Shell most likely retired because he was going to be released in favor of him.

Raheem Blackshear. Christian Wade and Antonio Williams before him. Mims will be on the Practice Squad just like them. Falling in love with a dime a dozen UDFA RB is a yearly past time around here.

Yikes. So Quessenberry and who behind Dawkins and Brown? Gouraige or Van Demark?

Barkley quickly coming back down to Earth following 1 good Pre-Season game amongst the 3's. I'm no Kyle Allen fan. But I've said if you're seriously considering Matt Barkley as #2 in 2023, you need to seriously consider bringing someone else in to start learning the playbook.

Yeah, Josh Allen is clearly the problem with this team and was the problem today. My god, dude.

It's the Pre-Season. Crap teams will look amazing and great teams will look like crap. If they look like this Week 1, I'll worry then.

Did you just wake up this morning, take your Wheaties, and get yourself pumped up for an entire day of calling out Josh Allen's off the field activities? Absolutely ridiculous thing to harp on today.

I guess some posters are using the Pre-Season as their Pre-Season for overreacting during the Season.

I wasn't closed off to the idea. I just didn't think they'd pull the plug so quickly. I figured he'd get another run with the 2's and if he continued to struggle, they'd switch it up in Game 3. I just can't believe a Backup we gave up on 3 years ago that was brought in essentially to be an extra set of eyes in the QB Room is actually going to be our backup this season. But I guess like some other positions, we had to cost cut and it just is what it is.

Didn't you get suspended for this?

Barkley coming in. Wow. That's not good for Kyle Allen.

Yeah, commercials and superstar living has been known to have an adverse effect on many Quarterbacks. Oh wait, no it hasn't. What a guy does in the Offseason in his spare time doesn't matter. Get off it.

From being the starter to not even being the 3rd MLB on the 53? Yeah, that is bold.

AJ Klein 2nd up at MLB. Pretty sure he was signed as our "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" option at MLB. With Dodson looking bad and Bernard hurt, I think we'll be breaking that glass.

Yeah, dating celebrities and/or doing commercials really messed up guys like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick Mahomes.

What a beautiful throw and catch. Would have never gotten it off if not for the hold. But still good to see a connection like that between Allen and Davis.
