Even though tanner was good in preseason, Preston Parker outplayed everyone! How he didn't get a roster spot is still a mystery to me

he was a better kick and punt returner than sproles right from the start

Agreed Lord Saint but Parker is with another team now & apparently our coaches didn't think he was capable of a 53 man roster spot in New Orleans.

I think our next 'all star' WR is in the upcoming draft.

How did a thread that isn't about Jimmy Graham or a Poll about Polls get in here? Change the title to "What if Andy Tanner Was 6'2" and ran a 4.3?" I make sure I read every post in a thread to be certain I'll have a problem with it's content.

I'm waiting for the great "high yeller" hope.

back to the OP-
lot of talk about him getting his 'chances'
The guy has had 3 years to make the team, so he has had many more chances than the average 26 year old. He has literally been cut 30 times and not one other team has ever picked him up
time to move on

Tanners appeal is his undying spirit and everlasting drive. He symbolizes the opposite of Michael Lewis, he is pure hard work and want, where as Lewis was pure talent.

He's the little engine that could.... Or can't.

Want doesn't mean can or will.

Time to let Rudy move on.
