1 - No one is blindly hyping him
2 - He did see the field last year, albeit not much.
3 - Gregg Williams is excited about him.
4 - What exactly is ridiculous about a player showing a lot of potential in training camp, for the 2nd year in a row.
5 - If no other team cared, why did he make the 53 instead of simply being cut and signed to our practice squad?

This sounds exactly like your comments about Pierre Thomas as an UDFA rookie going into his 2nd season. How'd that work out for ya'?

i did the exact same thing with pt. said wait and see. he showed that he could produce over a season and i commended him for it....what has galette done?

dont even put him in the same sentence as pt. just because they were udfas doesnt mean they have anything else in common

Thanks Danno, I was just about to bring that up.

Soon we are going to need a "Stupid $#!7 that Canton Says" thread just to keep up.

Yes, that is his exact opinion. Pierre Thomas is not good enough to be a starting RB in the NFL because he wasn't drafted. I had that long discussion with Canton years ago. If PT23 was good enough to be a starting RB then that means 32 scouting teams would have screwed up, and that is impossible. Bush is gone, Thomas is here. The only New Orleans Saint to score a rushing touch down in the Super Bowl? Pierre Thomas. All this is irrelevant. Reality has it wrong, not Canton. Draft position is EVERYTHING.

No, you didn't say wait and see, you said flat out that he was not good enough to be an NFL started because he wasn't drafted. Don't make me dig up those moronic posts.

You're giving him too much credit. What was said was... he wasn't good enough to be a 3rd string running back on most NFL rosters... much less being a starter on ours. You getting old.
