    WTF???!! Why do they wait for the season to start to cut players that they need? That's like taking the parachute off before you jump out the plane.

    From an experience perspective, he is still a rookie.

    Has had little time to develop with Watson. I am sure he will have some improvement as the season goes.

    Well I guess it's time for Dres Anderson to step in and take his place. I'm not impressed by what I've seen from Braxton Miller.

    Wow. So basically with Fuller/Ellington out, all our TEs out, and this guy can't make the field.

    Love the off season hype machine of Strong working out with the footwork king. Wonder if there is something else going on...

    Injuries and general inexperience on how to play his position. He switched from QB to WR in college and then immediately jumped into the NFL.

    Cowboys cut him. They claim a great athlete but you know how that is.

    He seems to milk injuries all the time too. Not as long as Kevin Johnson does, but neither has stayed healthy. Wish we had kept Flipper Anderson's son Dres. I guess Bill has something in the works, but whether anyone will be able to get involved in passing routes is another story. This is where our offensive guru needs to do more than play vanilla, facing Bill Belichick. I smell a running game a coming. Hope we can power through their defense.

    Who knows what this was all about, but I am done scratching my head over the decisions made in the hiring and firing of this team. He was a young prospect we seemed to put hope in, and then Cushing just hangs around for years, after the drugs, the injuries, and then again the drugs.

    You know you suck when a team with no receivers cuts you

    I hope he becomes a pro bowl receiver.

    Maybe Fuller will be back sooner that we originally thought.
