Herb62 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm a Rams fan they just cut CB Hill for a DUI, Bills sign him and make him a safety. He has cover skills and is a good tackler. This is his first mistake other than this he is a good kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy McFiddish Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Too sad, I hope he turns it around. CFL say hello to your new running back lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Agreed, even though you're joking. Whaley drafted this guy with zero regard for his potential for self destruction and he self destructed. Whaley was applauded by some around here for finding him, but now he gets a free pass when KW plays himself off the team and out of the league. Obviously, you can't back up that claim. I bet you he was very aware of that potential or else he would have drafted him much higher, based on talent alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 34 told us. Karlos is key ! Welp. I guess we shouldn't tell him Karlos reportedly took an Uber to meet his drug dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck in life after football bud!! It's a bad sign that he was there with his brother in Pittsburgh, but still couldn't get his ship together.

NoSaint Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Obviously, you can't back up that claim. I bet you he was very aware of that potential or else he would have drafted him much higher, based on talent alone. Exactly. He drafted him right where you'd consider injury and character concerns. He did more on the field than most day 3 ever do, but didn't reach his full potential. If rating the pick both on what was known at the time, and how it ended up... give it a "B" maybe? Not going to get you on the honor roll but not going to get you beat up on the report card either It's a bad sign that he was there with his brother in Pittsburgh, but still couldn't get his ship together. For him or for his brother? Sounds like a bad question but the support systems are sometimes a big part of the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the Steelers thought Vince could help keep Karlos on the straight and narrow, but it doesn't matter if someone refuses to be helped.

Nope, didn't forget about them. Both played at least a few games after their rookie years. Unlike Karlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) 34 told us. Karlos is key ! Welp. He obviously meant kilo. Well established that I didn't like the pick. The history surrounding Karlos put me off instantly. At the same point, I get that the NFL cares about character less than I do. I give them credit for cutting their losses quickly on a risky selection. Could've proved to be more detrimental if they kept him around. He is not misuderstood . He is Key ! All some of these kids ever had to keep them straight is football... Take it away, and the rest comes undone... To this day, I don't think he should have been cut... If the coaching and leadership was worth a damn on this team he would not have been. I guess we shouldn't tell him Karlos reportedly took an Uber to meet his drug dealer. Threw his life away for a cheap ride, and free snacks... Sad. Edited November 24, 2016 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad. Have you reconsidered whether you would trade him straight up for Zeke Elliott? Edited November 24, 2016 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Have you reconsidered whether you would trade him straight up for Zeke Elliott? Look, If that trade's still on the table, we should definitely do it. ... Thing is... I don't see Zeke running wild like that behind this O-line... I read he was averaging 110 a game... Our O-line's seemed to support Karlos' physical, big-back style, plus McCoy's creative, and elusive ability... Whether you want to admit it, or not, we really HAD something there... At the moment Zeke is just pure speed... -Hit's those huge holes, and it's 'see ya later'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
