They are simply evaluations of what they may or may not be able to offer to us in the future.

We're building a list of candidates for possible future employment, documenting their strengths and weaknesses to see if perhaps they may be a fit for a future role player.

The next Luke Kuechly isn't jumping from team to team trying to land a spot. This is bottom roster role player evaluation. Most are trying out for special teams or a spot on the 2016 camp roster.

Why can't people see that?
Thank you, sherlock holmes. How stupid do you really think I am? The point was that it doesn't matter. It isn't interesting. You had a whole off-season to find role players, and all of next off-season to find role players. These guys aren't good enough to be on a team this deep into the season, so what should we expect from them now, or in the future? These players stink, but we're looking at them anyway? Stop hoping for a diamond in the rough and do a better job evaluating talent BEFORE the season. Do you understand?

We see all this mindless crap going on mid-week, every week, but on the field (where it matters) they aren't smart enough to recognize who the worst player on the field is (Browner).

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Childish? Calling you THAT was childish? You know how many ways there are to call a person a self- absorbed, wannabe know it all? Would you prefer I call you captain obvious?

Telling me that try-out players in the middle of the season won't include the likes of Luke Keuchly was the most condescending and dumbest thing anyone has told me on here in a long time. You don't care about the point that anyone is trying to make, you just want to be THAT GUY who comes in and tells everyone why they're stupid, and how you're somehow enlightened.

Listen, everyone has an opinion and there are going to be disagreements. Ultimately we're all fans, and sometimes emotions override all other reason. But when I see a guy who wants to point out the most obvious things, over and over, and act like no one else is smart enough to figure it out, I lose my patience. Nobody is expecting great players to be found. It's all pointless. Bringing in young players who are unknown and might have a chance to turn into something... That's one thing.

Bringing in old guys, or players who have been around long enough to know that they aren't any good? Boring. That's my opinion. I don't care how much it goes on, and whether or not it "harms anything". I want to hear news about making adjustments on defense, especially as it pertains to Browner. That's why I say that these players won't help. It's not because I expect help to be out there, it's because there IS no help and we're spinning our wheels on a bunch of nobody's that frustrates me. It's tired news.

I totally agree. I mentioned in another post that Loomis has done a terrible job bringing us good players over the last several years. Then Loomis, I mean Danno, refuted my post with some idiotic question about firing the whole scouting department.
