Stupid to lose Land

[TheMarathonContinues]

Y’all do this every time. This is how this will go.

Pet cat over performs in preseason.
Doesn’t make team because he’s not good enough.
Fans freak out.
Guy gets picked up.
Fans rue.
Guy gets picked up.
We never hear from him again.
Gets cut.
Available and no one picks him up and is out of the league.

We let go of cox and land knowing we had depth issues. That is telling imo

If you look at the roster you can figure out what they are thinking.

It’s not though. We cut Rush and right before he went 4-1.

Colts didn't think so.

Colts kept 5 TEs on their roster on one on short term IR. Not sure we should take their position on anything the way that organization has crumbled since Luck retired. I've never been a fan of whinny football players under contract and the whole Taylor debacle showcases just how bad this entire organization is managed. JJ and company are lightyears ahead of this group.

Why is the FO always incompetent when a player is cut or extended when a fan does not agree? Yet the FO consistently finds quality players in the draft, FAs, and UDFAs? If they were truly incompetent then they would not be able to do any of that.

EXACTLY!!!!! Too many folks on here believe their opinions of players on this team or others matter more than those folks employed by the NFL (form the league execs to the low-level scouts). It's becoming sadly comical.

I would have liked to have kept land but Im not sure who he replaces. I like Luepke also. Junior Fehoko maybe? nashan wright? as thin as we are at corner i dont recommend that so I gues as mentioned earlier we should be able to find another Land next year

Sure, we lost a UDFA. But on the bright side, we traded for a third year QB who still looks like a UDFA, so in a way it all evens out.

They do find consistent gems....they also make blunders like this finessing the roster.

They thought they were smart and lost Ridgeway last year.

Ridgeway had a nice role in a stacked Washington dt room.

Who caaaares?

No team is better or worse with Ridgeway. He's just a body.

 

[Momanpr100]

Did any other team pick him up? Legitimate question

 

[Carnes]

No excuse for this other than incompetence by the FO. I understand he likely would be inactive in game days THIS year. Look ahead a year. Armstrong a free agent, Fowler a free agent, hopefully Sam isn’t suspended or something and who knows how much longer Lawrence is going to play. Such a bad decision.

Obviously the actual coaching staff thinks differently. What are your qualifications to make these decisions? Are you a GM or coach. I think not. Keep your day job

Ridgeway would be cut again if he was on our roster.

Just thank Jerry. Lance is taking Land’s roster spot.

If Lance didn't take it, then Will Grier would've. At least make it make sense. McCarthy was just saying how he would like 4 Qbs.

"Becoming"???

Who took Grier's spot?

Must've been your pet cat huh?. Should probably relax he was NOT going to contribute muxh this year if any lol

There were a lot of guys that got released, so why is it only Land's spot? Also, there are 52 other players besides Lance the Cowboys thought were more valuable to keep than Land

 

[Stash]

I will say that I disagreed with them exposing Land to waivers. And they obviously guessed wrong.

But while I criticize this one decision, that doesn’t make them ‘incompetent’.

 

[Kwyn]

No. This is just wrong. Lance took Griers spot. They cut Grier the very next day.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Two ways to look at everything.

Agree it's ridiculous to get bent out of shape about Land, no matter what your opinion of his talent and usefulness.

But also ridiculous to tell OP to shut up and enjoy his team. What's the point of a message board? Seen far worse takes than that.

Obviously no team is 100% on their evaluations and all have to make tough decisions, which can lead to good players being let go. It is a numbers game in many ways (e.g position group, overall roster, financial, etc).
