There has to be more to the story, otherwise it's a bad look for Dorsey.

Of course there's more to the story. We've already heard some of it from Matt Miller. Like I said, you just have to give Dorsey the benefit of the doubt in this situation and move on.

There's a ton of talent on that list that didn't show shit early, yet we'd never DREAM of them being cut.

This front office went from falling all over themselves to draft this kid, to determining he was a bust in 3 months.

Jesus, Jamaal was a 3rd round pick that was INACTIVE for games.

Everyone's glad we didn't jump the gun early on him, eh?

Listen, I'm not claiming Russell is Cornerback Jesus - but to imply he went from the uber-talented kid they drafted in the Top 75 in May to an unrosterable POS in 3 months is ridiculous. There has to be more to the story, otherwise it's a bad look for Dorsey.

One, Matt Miller is a ****ing moron.

But lets take his story as gospel.

Look at the "problem children" this organization has drafted in the last three years and tell me why they get a chance to change and Russell doesn't? I don't believe for a second they cut a kid for running his mouth considering some of the other issues they've ignored regarding kids they've drafted.

Something doesn't add up.

Think what you want of Matt Miller, but he has friends in our scouting team. This isn't a matter of opinion. This is what he's hearing.

I'm still trying to find a Top 75 pick that was cut a week into his rookie year.

It's not just weird, it flat out doesn't happen unless there are non-football related issues/incidents.

Didn't the Raiders do it with a safety a few years ago?

They've drafted a ton of character guys in the last three years, and they decide to finally cut one because he's cocky?

Show me a young professional skill player that isn't.

If we legit cut a kid because he was mouthy, that's even more reeruned. It's a teachable moment for someone with talent - if NFL team cut every young draft choice who was mouthy/cocky/arrogant there wouldn't be enough players to stock the league.

He's taking about character concerns like Peters and Hill in the draft.

What he doesn't realize is that Peters and Hill have been great teammates from everything we know, while Russell reportedly hasn't.

He's just butthurt.

You keep throwing that word around like you know me, or know anything for that matter.

I have no skin in this game. I don't know the kid, I'm not a ND fan.

And if you had two brain cells to rub together, you'd know I could really give two ****s about this team - but this is a damn interesting topic to discuss, so I'm discussing it.
