He's 2 for 2 today

Man, I'm stressing about Powell. He's a late bloomer and would benefit from being on the PS, but I don't know that he would make it through waivers as a 5th round pick. In fact, I'm like 90% sure he wouldn't.

That said, he doesn't deserve a spot at WR 6 over Fountain right now, IMO.

The only thing that makes me think it might happen is on the sideline, you saw Mahomes and some of the guys kinda mocking/critiquing the way Fountain put his hands up to catch 2 of the balls in Friday's game, like he had his hands reversed.

.

I bet he'd make it through waivers just fine.

Yep.

I mentioned it before but I think thats why he got limited exposure this preseason.

Powell is nothing special at the bottom of a roster

old_geezer 08-30-2021 10:51 AM

Probably nobody else would agree with me but the player I am hoping makes it through is Gore. Williams has been in concussion protocol for almost two weeks now, McKinnon has an injury history, Thompson sucks, and IMO CEH hasn't shown me the skills I saw before his injury. CEH is still the best we have by far but I would like to see Gore get a chance as his backup.

There’s a Cornell Powell available every year at n the draft

Stressing about Powell? His upside isn’t worth stressing over.

agreed. I am rooting for him, Fountain and Fortson to make the team. I am pretty sure Fortson is a lock not confidant about the other two.

Yeah but anybody can crank hogs for a living. If you've got the desire to stroke animal dick for decades then you can literally pick a guy up off the side of the road to do that.

But are you gonna crank those cocks for $14/hr instead of $18/hr you were making?

Just pretend we selected Fountain in the 5th. :D

I agree with you. I think we are gonna be disappointed, but I’d be keeping gore over either Williams or McKinnon, and I bet he’s on the 53 at some point this season.

I wouldn't keep Gore OVER either (Williams really doesn't get the credit he deserves), i would just keep Gore along with the others.

I bet they do.

Gore reminds me of Williams tbh.

Stressing was probably too strong a word, lol.

Curious about, I suppose.
