Who is this consensus......? Cause obviously. none of them are affiliated with the NFL.......jussayin

I figured someone would throw him a bone and put him on a practice squad for now....His sacks were in garbage time and he was unblocked on one of em....:yeshrug:
:comeon:...every analyst i have seen speak on his performance has agreed that dude played well. Who have you seen that said he hasn't played well enough to not be in the NFL? It's a legit question. If you know anyone i would like to listen to them and be enlightened to why he doesn't deserve to be in the NFL.

Several NFL guys......not analysts..........Shannon Sharpe for one.....He stated that whenever Sam went up against guys with a lil talent, be was blown completely off the TV screen....which is the absolute truth

bench-pressed 225 pounds just 17 times, recorded a 7.8-second 3-cone drill and posted an abysmal 25 1/2-inch vertical jump.

That has to be amongst the worst in the league.

How is it his fault who he is playing against. You just told on yourself. All those scrubs he was beating down are on a team or a PS
No ...they're not. Most of them are cut as well

You can be a smaller, undersized DE and still make an impact in the league. Only thing is that you probably are to need to be explosive on the edge or can play out in coverage like a much smaller player. Sam can't do either.

Who are they in the NFL? Most guys Sams size are outside linebackers and have more speed.

I disagree completely. It's the opposite. Had he not pulled that stunt he probably wouldn't have gotten drafted or be on anyone's practice squad. This news pretty much confirmed what we already knew. There's an agenda to put this guy in the league. Seriously, this news is crazy. So the league was calling around seeing who had a spot for dude on their practice squad? Do you think they would have done that had he not come out?


eh had he not come out i believe he would've been on a practice squad atleast

I don't know...It depends on what you mean by undersized...If you mean under 280 then I guess they're several good ones that come to mind.....like Mathis, Peter Boulware and Von Miller are\were hybrid guys, Jason Taylor(albeit tall)...Aldon Smith may be considered undersized...It aint that many, but I believe there are more out there than what we think

When they're undersized, they usually make it up with godly speed and quickness...none of which Sam has
