HardCoreBlue Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 11 minutes ago, SpeedFlex27 said: I was following his progress in Philly & every NFL writer covering the team said he was in tough down the depth chart. The Eagles are deep at linebacker but that performance should have nailed him a spot on the roster. Marken Michel also had a 75 yard TD pass the first exhibition game. And he was waived. Don't let anyone tell you this wasn't politics or favouritism by the coaches. They already made their decision before the game. There is a lot of anti CFL bias in the NFL. I can see him refusing a PR spot as Singleton can come back to Calgary & get paid more than being on the PR. Let's hope. We need it for the CFL.

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 He loves Calgary. I'm sure if the money's right he'll be back. With Mitchell missing 7 games he should be able to be signed. The question is will Michel be back? JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree.... ton of saving face coaches and managers in the NFL. money is big, bullshit is too. A great of example of this is the fact that Zylstra may not make the Vikings, but Tredwell, who stinks, has been on it for years, cause they wasted a high draft pick on him. Paid the guy millions for next to nothing. In the NFL, I admire Pete carroll cause he doesn't do that. Best player plays.

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Singleton is luckier than most. He has options that aren't at the whim of an NFL GM. He could go back to Calgary & sign for a minimum $250,000. Maybe not NFL money but if he plays a decade he's set for life.

Watching Wisconsin and South Florida and who's name do I hear? Kerwin Bell. He's the OC at South Florida this year. Poor Kerwin, he'll never live this highlight down. Truth be told he was a pretty good QB with an excellent arm. From Wikipedia Bell returned to the CFL in 1998 with the Toronto Argonauts and had his best professional year. He threw for 4,991 yards and 27 touchdowns and set a lead record with a completion percentage of 67.3%, earning him a spot on the CFL All-Star team.[22][19] He signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and again passed for over 4000 yards in 1999, Overall, Bell played in 126 regular season CFL games, completed 1,560 passes in 2,558 attempts, and threw 101 touchdowns.[19] JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so damn hard for a player who is not a veteran or draft pick to make an NFL squad.

Yeah USF has a former 5 star recruit of Alabama’s at QB and tons of talent all over the field. Pretty much all the Florida schools are stacked...they got their asses kicked.
