So...yeah.... Michael Sam, again

[J24]

He would have been better off not being drafted then he could have picked his own team as UDFA. His lack of athletic ability and size  killed him in the draft process. I will say this thought he looked like he belonged from his preseason play and kinda of surprised he didn't stick to a team.

Normally I'd agree, but Ray Rice is telling me different.

Yeah, right, because Bill Belichick is so sensitive to what the media says that he lets them control who he has on his roister.

Same with Chip Kelly.

If RR is telling you something, listen. If you don't, he'll mess you up.

And then you'll have to apologize to him...

He scares me when....when he stares..... directly into my chest.

Ray Rice averaged 3.1 yards per carry, 5.5 yards per reception, and only had 660 rushing yards and 4 total tds in 2013.

What does that scrub wife-beater have to do with this?

That the numbers you posted would still warrant being on an NFL roster.
Remember that we are only looking at production numbers (bottom line good enough) that GHB mentioned and no other qualifiers or strikes against character.
Just the numbers, Mason.

No they would not.

Only 3 other RBs averaged 3.1 yards or less (with at least 100 carries) in 2013, and none of them are currently on an NFL roster. (Trent Richardson, Bernard Pierce, Willis McGahee)

If that is the case, then I stand corrected.
