I honestly don't think they beat Champ out. He had a bit of an injury bug, and they probably just wanted to go with the younger legs. I know for a fact Champ is better then Rob and White as we speak.

How so? Champ apparently wasn't good enough or healthy enough to beat out either Rob or White...

I think health was the only factor.

Robinson got picked on every preseason game while champ played great in the 2 games we saw.

Every corner on the roster looked better than Robinson during the preseason. I know people are going to say he looked good in practice but no one actually knows coaches aren't going to say he looked bad. Robinson is the scapegoat right now and getting rid of him wont solve everything but it will make our defense better.

This is something I have stated numerous times. Champ didn't get beat out, he just wasn't healthy enough to show he could play a full 16 games.

You watching a personal workout while you post?


We can debate all day about Champ vs PRob or White and why he was cut. What is more telling for me is that he is still out there going into week 3 isn't he?

There is something we don't now about.

Could say the same about Jabari Greer and him now having to retire but there were plenty who wanted him back too. I'd rather take my chances with an old hall of famer then a young, no namer who's been getting toasted for the majority of his career.

Just because Champ's a future hall of famer doesn't mean he's better than the other guys on the team at this current point and time. Champ is just simply washed up now. There's a reason that 1) we cut him and 2) no other team has picked him up.

Champ obviously created a reputation of being a shutdown corner during his career, and he deserves to be remembered as a shutdown corner, but he's just not that player anymore based on the two things I mentioned above.

You are probably talking to one of the few non Greer fans in existence. A whole lot of people are forgetting 49er, Patriot, and Packers games where Greer was smoked like a bacon wrapped blunt.

Greer is retired because of a career ending injury.
