Don't cut Reilly

No one ever said he was a bust. Just that he wasn’t worth the money he would demand. It hasn’t been proven wrong yet. He’s still nothing special in NE. 

Actually, that's wrong, the majority of this place couldn't wait to run Hogan out of town and he was routinely a whipping boy around here.

 

As for Reilly, theres always one PS guy that everyone seems to think is going to be a superstar and the Bill's will regret letting go. There was that WR a few years ago who went to Indy and I believe is now in the CFL. There was that running back William's who may have eaten and smoked his way out. Our last tremendous talent that was going to wreak havoc with NE once he left and be a thorn I our side for years, Gillislee, may be out of work after one season in NE where he was left glued to the bench.

 

If NE and BB thought he was some hidden gem tremendous talent, why wouldn't they have already swiped him off the PS when they had the chance?

Reilly was avalable to any team in the draft last year and no one wanted him. He was avalable when he was cut last year after he had an awesome pre season. No one wanted him. He was avalable to be signed off the practice squad all season and no one wanted him. Now that he has been hurt and has done very little this preseason, people like the Patriots are going to be knocking down his door to get him sto sign. Makes sense.

I don’t know where you live or what you saw but I saw this fan base go gaa-gaa over Hogan. Calling him 7-11 because he’s always open. And a whole bunch of people pissed that he was not resigned. 

 

The other WR yourbtalking about was Da’Rick Rogers and he was considered a 1st or 2nd round talent out of college with issues. He displayed no issues publicly here and was cut. Indy picked him up and he showed nothing in the nfl. Probably a very similar story to Josh Gordon but with less talent. And if it wasn’t for the Browns, Gordon wouldn’t have a job anywhere either since there isn’t a team that would take a chance on a multiple time addict over 2 years. 

 

Gillisslee is good and even if hes off NE within a year, that doesn’t take away the fact that he would have been much better than our option last year of “the Toldozer” to back up Shady. 

 

Williams was a drug addicted as well. Smoking weed and eating was his love. Playing in the nfl was not. 

 

You’re right, if NE wanted him they probably would have taken him already. This isn’t about that imo tho. There are plenty of teams that could use a young WR with potential. But that still doesn’t change my opinion, that there is nothing special about Reilly and I’d let him walk if needed. If I could, I’d resign him to the practice squad but that’s about it. Hasn’t shown me anything special.

...CERTANLY agree.....Belichick scoops him to play with Hogan, "that bust" we let slip away...........

 Can’t really be a bust when you’re  an UDFA... 

 

not like he was gonna do much here anyways... he just had 400 yards with Brady.... that’s about 175 yards with TT 

 

good guy , doesn’t really bother me

Ive watched him at Clemson and I just don't see it. Granted had some good catches at Camp but other than practice squad to make sure he's ready I'd go with Reilly over him all day long.

 

I have a friend who is a Clemson grad and he loves Ray-Ray.

Reilly can't return punts or kicks. I would keep McCloud for special teams purpose.

....yea because we're scoring so many points from our special teams? I'd rather have a possession receiver like Reilly help me on 3rd & long, than Ray Ray with a 7 yr punt return. Cutting Reilly will be another mistake.

Reilly needs to be on this team.  And he deserves to be on this team.  Big mistake if they cut him or PS him - Pats wanted him last year.  That is a fact.  If we try to PS him he will be gone to Pats or elsewhere.  Has the knack of getting open, great hands, solid speed, decent size.

 

How is it a fact the Patriots wanted him? They had like 12 weeks to scoop him off our PS and never did... they also could’ve signed him when we cut him at end of PS... they didn’t 

 

i like Reilly but I don’t think that’s a fact
