[Split Thread] What to Do About Posey?

I'm glad we gave him a full month before cutting him. He appears he might just have nfl talent after all.

Figured you chime in. Maybe they'll size him up for that HOF jacket at halftime based on one play in the last scrub preseason game. And BTW, I never said cut him. I said he doesn't deserve a regular season roster spot and should be put on the PS (and, yes, I know the ramifications). Yes, he FINALLY showed something! That's what I've been waiting for. However, one catch doesn't change my opinion. Hopefully he continues to show something and turns into a decent player.

Holliday appears to be proving a lot of us wrong. Maybe Posey will too. We can only hope.

I never once said he was good. I said it was dumb to judge based on 3 preseason games he barely played.

Foster was so immature he wrecked his last year of college football and then needed almost a year of kubiak kicking his butt before he woke up. Posey could be the same but his draft status means we can't hide him on the PS.

Since our 5th wr never plays and we have 8 inactives every week, I am ok if they want to keep him on the 53 based on what they have seen (and I don't have access to %10 of what they see).

This front office has earned enough of my trust that they can fritter away a pick and a roster spot in a risk/reward situation.

It was a helluva catch and run.

I'd still red shirt him.......

Seemed to have worked well for Jean.

I'm glad we finally got to see him. Despite the fumble, the TD reception was impressive and he at least showed he deserves a chance to be a future NFL player. I think I'd still prefer he go on the PS, though, and keep a regular season spot for someone who really deserves it or could be in a rotation. I'd rather expose Posey at this point over someone like DJ Bryant or Grimes. Just sayin...

Looks like we'll see him during "real" action for the next couple of weeks due to Jeans injury. Kubiak is estimating Jean will be out a week or two due to a meniscus issue.
