Dudes complain about young WRs not playing.

When the staff lets guys transfer out to make room for young guys to potentially get more PT, they complain about not getting WR transfers.

The staff “let’s “ guys transfer?
They can’t stop them if they wanted to.
They could offer more money but will only do it if they think they’re worth it.

They may be alright with it and believe the young guys will be ready to go and not need a transfer .
Sometimes I think it’s more hope and taking a gamble they will be so they can go get guy’s for positions of greatest need.

Isn’t how it works? What are you talking About?
Get healthy, compete for the starting job?
That’s what scenario I described.
If you don’t think that’s how it works you are wrong.
Sampson ain’t coming back. Write it down. I’m guaranteeing it.

See, the difference between you and me is you're guaranteeing something you don't have the required evidence to guarantee, and I'm... not. I'm just pointing out why it's within the realm of possibility and is more common than people, let's take you for example, think. And you're mad about it for some weird reason.

Some guys are told their possibilities of getting on the field aren’t great. I think that’s the case with Spillman, Webb, and Leacock. Nimrod I’m not sure, I would’ve liked to keep him and see if he could improve his hands.

“Let’s them” meaning not putting up a big fight to keep them and/or not thinking they immediately need to replace them through the portal.

If the family member doesn’t want to read a fan observation then they shouldn’t be on here. I don’t think there is anything classless about trying to make sense of what happened with Cam. People jumped down his throat because they wanted cam to be great and weren’t ready to think about him not working out.

This is true.
Basically every player could have a family member on vol nation. And they might!

What would we discuss on here then?

The sewer system in Dyersburg?

There’s respectful ways to discuss everything

What’s respectful to one is not to another.

Like stating facts that may not be flattering to a player may be disrespectful to one but ok to others, especially on a message board devoted to a football team,
Where 95% of posts are in regards to players and coaches of said team.

It’s what the site is for

You mean you haven’t been submitting drafts of your posts to @bpalmer28 for his pre-approval?

Never said that he wasn’t. Just that 6.2 ypc doesn’t always mean the same thing across all situations / systems and that I’m curious to see what’s happened to other backs coming out of similar offenses.

Josh Heupel likes speed in his running backs. How fast is this guy?

I doubt it’s us right I know we were the runner up

I like Russell quite a bit as a player. How he handled things with us in hs wasn’t great.. said he was in and then wasn’t forthcoming with our coaches down the stretch.

A lot can be forgiven but it sounds like it’s been kind of drama filled in Arkansas.

He’ll be expensive too.

All in, I doubt it but I’d love a talented back like him.
