Meh, he knows the offense and is a cheap emergency option. Don't really get the problem. Not sure why it's even a thing. 

 

As the list of things to complain about keeps getting shorter there is a need for some creativity. 

 

“Cant believe they signed that guy that was active for 16 games over the last two years to the practice squad... I’m so effing done with this team.  ?  ?

What about consistency? Who else would you bring in (right now) that could step in right away in an emergency situation that already knows the playbook? 

 

Can we upgrade next year? Of course, but until then, why not? 

 

The questions shouldn't be "can we do better?" the question should be "can we do better right now?" 

 

The realistic answer outside of some crazy trade scenario is no. So, again, why is this even a thing? 

 

Cheap. Knows the playbook. No brainer. 

 

EDIT: (after reading your edit) oops. sorry, misread your post. point still works, just not for you. i agree with your post.

There has to be better options than a player in his 2nd year who still doesn't understand(or isn't capable of) ball security.

It's the practice squad. What are you expecting?

A player going forward who can be promoted to the 53 man roster, and actually hang onto the ball if pressed into service. ;)

The practice squad is for developing talent. They are players, by definition, who aren't good enough to be on a 53 man roster. Best to fill it with guys who have a lot of talent but a fatal flaw you can work on instead of guys who are mediocre talent wise without a glaring flaw. If Ray Ray learns to protect the ball you have a super athletic receiver on your hands.

He fumbled like 6 times for the Panthers on punt returns.. 

 

he must be speedy tho.. if only he had hands.

well - all of the PS players have some sort of issue/weakness so you have to build your PS with the best available out there

On punt returns is Ray Ray fumbling the catch or is he fumbling when he is returning?

For the life of me I can't remember how he fumbled in Buffalo.

 

He's fumbling the catch. I saw his first game with Carolina and he fumbled his first two punts. I couldn't believe they sent him out there a third time, but he made a real good return on that one. Evidently the muffs continued and they gave up. I always thought he had an attitude when here previously, and was lacking in maturity. According to reports he had turned a corner on that this summer.

Sucks to be Joe good to be Ray Ray- his odds of seeing the field this year are pretty good.

 

Well his father did play in NFL so maybe he gave him some interview tips.

Whatever happened to Dez Bryant?

 

The Bills asked if he would appeal to NFLPA to allow him to be signed for PS so he could feed his family and he said no.

They just can't stop loving Ray Ray. They've tried several times to break things off, but they keep on letting him back into their lives. 

 

He's shown some promise I suppose. He'll never be an exceptional player, but I think he's good insurance in case McKitrick goes down. Need someone with suddenness to run those gadget plays Daboll employs.
