[Split Thread] What to Do About Posey?

[popanot]

Thanks, Keith! I was going to post the question asking if it would be possible to split the thread because I knew that old 49er thread was an odd place for the conversation but I didn't want to create work for you.

No problem. I was too lazy to do it any earlier.

Well looky there, it's a Posey sighting!!! Yay!!!

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.
