Quote:There's nothing dumb about dropping the third running back on your depth chart who has already seen his ceiling for someone who has the potential to start for you one day, especially when you already have an established starter and depth ahead of him that brings the exact same game to the table.

 

I don't expect a lot of people to understand that line of thinking, but you'd be surprised how often it works out for other teams that have used the same method.

Let me rephrase this, your evaluation of him is dumb. If he realistically had the potential you claim, then 32 teams wouldn't have passed on putting him on their practice squad.

 

If hell freezes over and we are in need of his marginal talent, he will be sitting there selling used cars somewhere free to pick up. Don't need to waste a roster spot on a player nobody wants.
