But only if he is: I keep saying if and the sea of thumbs down is because people's attitudes suck: it's not just for this topic, I thumb down and up more than anyone on this board, I think and it is usually from the demeanor and tone of the post.

There's a right way and a wrong way to go about things: the baseball bat thing was me being facetious, but perhaps that's the wrong way to go about doing it.

Bengals WR Jermaine Burton will not travel with the team because of a coach’s decision, the team announced.

Looks like the OP got his wish.

Im quite certain the teams with legit scouting teams had him pegged as a late round chance pick or a FA

Good point. If the scouting department had spoken with Saban, then you would think they would have dropped him down further. Yes, Burton has outstanding speed and quickness. But I can't remember ever hearing on draft night a player's coach denigrating the player in front of a national audience, as Saban did.

Pretty damning...

Cut him and move on.... sounds like we may keep Tee anyways so we don't need him.

Hate to see a waste of a 3rd round pick.
Bengals could have instead taken Luke McCaffrey or Troy Franklin for WR, who are least contributing some, or Theo Johnson at TE who has nearly 350 yards in a terrible offense.

Or trade up. They had 10 picks FFS.

You guys got it all wrong. NFL sports teams are meant to be special education rooms and rehab centers. It's all going according to plan and if you don't like it, someone should deck you in the face.
