    Yes indeed, not even thinking about the FA C list Mac has brought up in several threads, but the number of WR on the 90, it just seems a spot or 2 would have been warranted for someone with C experience. I know you are not going to find much, but wrestling with this late in camp, Herbig injured for this long and no action taken is puzzling, especially the way Green played in TB.

    They did in drafting someone with 4 college games experience and expecting him to start. It made little sense on draft day, was proven throughout the season.

    Until there is actual news on Herbig wo won't know much, but if he down I would expect Dotson to stick around.

    I was just thinking there is a 53 man roster and Kendrick Green is number 53

    That’s just too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence

    Just saying

    Ok I’ll move along now :huh:

    My worry is it they wait until cuts, what will we get? Will it be better than green, McCollum or spencer? I'd rather they get one of these old but proven guys. The money isn't the problem. :cool:

    IDK if Omar has made any calls, maybe agents are holding out???, but today the cut Hakeem and White, signed a LB and another WR. Unless they see PS value in those guys I dont get the wait, unless like I said the agents or players are waiting, or they do not see the problem as big as we do, lol.

    Do not be so dang sure. I've met a lot of people with tales of athletics, and run into their families, and find out the closest they came was basketball in the driveway, football in the field, or sparing with a friend, but what You hear from them was a great basketball, football, and boxing past . LOL

    Either....You never played a team sport, or You got hit so hard You forgot. Let's use some critical thinking here. How would a Qb not be effected by a backup OL, backup RB, backup wrs , and backup TEs. LoL LoL LoL. I promise if You put Joe Montana on a 3rd, or 4th string team.....He would not look like J. Montana. Every wonder why I don't use this in complaining of Trubisky.....unless You do with Mason???? It because I know this.

    Anyone that really watch Moore could have told You he was getting better each game....now with a better guard next to Him, and the more experience, and work He's put in has also helped

    No ....I don't like people that Have never played a team sport to act like they know all about a team sport. I boxed, and kickboxed.....it was nothing like when I played football, baseball, or basketball. Their is a huge difference in relying on Yourself mainly, and having to rely on others.

    Well, that's just sad. Who the hell wants to lie about something like that?

    Is that why you tagged my post hilarious? You think I'm making stuff up about my sports history?

    No. I don't know You, but I've worked, and been around a bunch of people that have. I laughed because. In most schools in the states 3/4 of students play no sports, and that is increasing, and You said most have, and with those numbers how would most have make sense???. It would be most haven't.

    I never knew that's what it was called. I have never played outside of a friend's backyard.

    I'm 59. I guess kids not participating in sports is more common today. I was the guy in high school that never had a time of year when I wasn't playing sports. Played football, baseball, volleyball, golf, and swimming in high school. Lettered in four sports, but stopped swimming after my sophomore year because my eyes were too sensitive to the chlorine. My vision actually got cloudy and my eyes would swell up after practice. I continued with football and golf in college. I was good at a lot of things, but never great enough to make a living doing any of them. Again, I'm sure there are a lot of people with that same story.

    It's always been that way. Unless You went to a small school of course a small school would be different. Added to many Guys played multiple sports. I'm not saying You didn't. I'm saying most didn't. I'm very close to Your age, and I know way more people from My high school that didn't play anything than did.

    I guess you believe Mike Tomlin never played a team sport or got hit so hard he forgot, too, because he was dismissive of Rudolph's performance against scrubs last preseason. A quarterback in his fifth or sixth year should shred a second-half defense in preseason regardless of who he has on the field with him. He certainly shouldn't be making poor reads that lead to two of his seven pass attempts going right into the hands of defensive backs.

    I never said playing with backups doesn't affect the play of a quarterback. I would take your arguments much more seriously if you didn't rely so heavily on misrepresenting mine. My point, one that Tomlin clearly agrees with, is that playing against such weak competition more than makes up for it.

    I went to high school with plenty of guys who didn't play any sports, too, but those guys weren't interested in sports. This is a board full of people who are, so yeah, I'm guessing most of us played something.
