Buh bye Wallace

Bubble guys can't be troublemakers.

A bunch of clones isn't reality. Talent matters.

There's the famous Jimmy Johnson story from the 90s.

During a team meeting, a special teams player, John Roper was sleeping. Johnson cuts him on the spot, in front of the whole team.

After practice, a reporter asked Johnson, "What would you have done if that was Troy Aikman?" Johnson, laughing, replied, "I would have told him to 'Wake up'".

You're agreeing with my point.

You're agreeing with my point.

Not really. If a guy is good enough, you manage his attitude. This is commonly called "coaching".

In two weeks, we cut one of the better players and one of the better prospects on defense. Over...???? It's not because the roster is overloaded with talent.

They have carte blanche this year. Whatever they do with the roster, it's fine. Next year and the year after we should see big results.

Bubble guys can't be troublemakers. Great players are treated differently than bubble guys. You're saying the exact same thing.

Guy was let go by the Eagles and dumped by the Cardinals. Bubble guys can't be troublemakers, and clearly he's developed a rep as a troublemaker.

It's not fair to say that he was a troublemaker, but it's also not fair to compare the Eagles' roster -- one of the best in the NFL -- with the Cardinals roster -- one of the worst in in the NFL.

Totally understandable that a bubble guy entering a contract year doesn't make the Eagles roster.

A bit more difficult to understand how the Cards cut their second-leading tackler.

I'll trust Harry's sources on Wallace - the rep fits the scenario.

BA cut a kid who parked in his spot....and admitted of it was Carson or Fitz that it would have been handled differently.

I think the disagreement is on if Kvon was a bubble guy. Wallace had the second most tackles on the team with 43 and an interception. He was probably the 3rd best DB on the roster and was the best "hidden gem" of Monti's one million dollar deals.

Cutting him is much more of a statement. He was an important part of the team and our defense is going to be noticeably worse having to play the guys who were behind him on the depth chart.

He was actually picked up on waivers following the final cutdown day. Many people here said that he was already better than Isaiah Simmons after Game 1.

Yeah, compared to most of our roster he seemed a much more capable NFL player. Incident must have been bad.
