J.Adams released from E.Eskimos CFL

[Snake]

If you can't make it in the CFL maybe football is not your thing.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Amazing a WR who had a stroke is not an NFL star..or CFL star..HOW DID HE NOT SUCCEED?! Did he not watch his flukey punt retun in YouTube?!

[cardiackat88.]

And everyone shunned me to hell a few years back when I said I didn't think he was very impressive.

[LinvilleGorge]

I just don't understand how he was so good as a return man in the SEC and then so completely terrible at it in the NFL. I could've understood if he was just decent and unspectacular, but he was downright AWFUL.

[davos]

There are eskimos in the new star wars?

[TheRed]

I remember the rejoicing on the huddle after we picked him, crazy to see where he is now. That's life though, I wish him well.

[micnificent28]

The huddle was all over this one hit wonder.

You win some you lose some, such is the case with mid and late round picks. There's a reason why they're still available and that's because there's significant doubt among NFL coaches and GMs that they're going to be impact players at the next level for one reason or another.

[Clicheking]

Stop talking in fragments, I had to read that three times to understand it.....Anyway I was never high on him. Limited receiving skills, elusive but not fast and frail. Dave isn't the type to hold on to mistakes forever unlike that other guy and we'll be a better team because of it.

For an offensive or defensive starter yes. For a pure special teamer? No, everything below solid in the fourth is a huge miss.

I'll admit, I was excited when we drafted the guy that had the amazing punt return. That play was ridiculous. I thought he was going to be our returner for years to come. 

 

oh well.

No one is drafted as a pure special teamer outside of kicker and punter. Adams was drafted primarily as a return man, but also as a developmental WR. I mean,he did have 2400+ receiving yards with 17 TDs at Arkansas. He wasn't just a return man. Lots of NFL WRs have gotten there start in the NFL as a return man, including Steve Smith.

Adams was a bet, that failed, at wr with a hedge to at least get a solid returner.

When both bet and hedge fails, you have failed (badly).

I wouldn't mind giving me another chance..... we don't have a return man now lol
