That was before the Panthers announced to the league that he deserved a roster spot. 

LOL, you have got to be kidding me! Right, the rest of the league had no way of knowing about a player like him in 2017 when any dumb ass fan can find videos of these guys in a matter of seconds.

I need to stop refreshing the page. I keep feeling worse every time I do.

When are we going to stop allowing ourselves to panic over bottom round players who aren't ready to make an impact and more than likely may never? It makes us so fuging dumb as a fan base. Be fuging better than that BS.

While you are laughing, try to understand that film of 15 plays does not tell them enough to add them to their roster. The fact that the Panthers already added him to the roster tells them much more.

Because talking about the possibility of a 5th rounder getting picked up off waivers is panicking. 

What are you, on your period?

I don't buy it.  What about the fact that other teams scouted Armah in the first place? It's simply not possible to hide these players anymore. If you can play, the NFL will find you.

This entire board is full of threads panicking and calling for Hurney's head. It's embarrassing

If Beane thinks Tolbert is a suitable number 2 at RB, maybe we shouldn't be so upset he left.

Fair point.

If a guy like Armah wasn't in the cards for the evolution of the offense, then we're not trying to evolve very much. Guys like him, when used correctly, are awesome weapons. Armah demonstrated an ability to make strong blocks, hustle on special teams, and make a play with the ball in his hands.

Dickson and Olsen aren't blockers and I don't care how much the team, the players themselves, and the fans want to say "Dicksons our blocker TE and Greg practices on the sleds every year to be well rounded and never leaves the field." At the end of the day, they are both mediocre blockers and we shouldn't rely on them to be our blockers. Prior to this season with McCaffrey, Stew has had to battle behind the line of scrimmage and at the first level because our TEs are mediocre blockers. Stew is not fast enough to get away at the beginning. This fact is even more noticeable when we see McCaffrey play. McCaffrey is partially there to conceal our sub-par TE blockers. Fournette would look like poo like Stew does most of the time in this offense and it's because we wanna pretend that Greg and Dickson are actual blockers.

Investing in this offensive evolution means we should invest in a fuging FB who can make plays too. Armah was potentially another swiss army knife that we're gonna leave on the PS now. How many PS guys grow into players on this team? It's the back of the refrigerator where good food gets left to spoil. If you believe he is talented but raw, you find ways to work him into the game and you give him time with the 1s and 2s. No one is gonna hone their craft against PS guys.

We deserve to lose him to a team that's willing to give him a roster spot and a chance to practice against actual talent. 

Actually Olsen has become a decent blocker.

Dixon did pretty well run blocking in August.

fug Hurney what a retard. Keeping two kickers and waiving Armah and making it so Corn can't come back if we need him. Such a dumbass.

I remember in 2005 when he put Stephen Davis on IR too soon. Coulda used him in the Playoffs, especially Seattle.
