^this^ DRob will play and play alot...he is frustrating at times, but knows the offense. Kemp will make the team too. Powell probably headed to the practice squad, I would be shocked if someone would pick him up after his showing so far. Of course, Friday night could change things... [Reply]

Marcus Kemp is on every roster in the league. He's literally a 6th WR that never plays offense and just plays specials, those guys are everywhere. [Reply]

Nobody said that. I'm saying Robinson is regressing and "could" be burning a roster spot from someone that is NOT regressing. Every player was once young and inexperienced until they weren't.
I'm not going to be pissed if Robinson starts against the Browns, and frankly I hope he proves me wrong this season if he doesn't get cut. I just have a solidly "meh" reaction to him watching him play after watching him go off against the Raiders out there in '19. [Reply]

Fountain doesn’t because Toub didn’t give glowing remarks.
Oh, you poor child. Mama promises you Fountain will make the roster. Big daddy Andy isn’t going to take 5 wide receivers into the season. But, bless your ❤️ for trying. [Reply]

I don't think he's awesome either but cutting him puts you in a real bind if anyone gets hurt.
If you dig Fountain replace Kemp with him. [Reply]

- Hill
- Hardman
- Pringle
- Fountain
- Kemp
- Powell
- (Fortson can be counted here even if he's a TE, imho)
^ Is that good enough with Alex Smith? No. Mahomes? Yeah.
And honestly, I'd be willing to bet a decision like this won't be made without getting Mahomes' take on it. If Mahomes wants him here, he'll be here.
He doesn’t need upside. Daurice fucking Fountain blows goat testicles and if we rely on him in a role that we’ve relied on DRob for the past many years, our offense will regress [Reply]
Lets just say Robinson and Powell are the only two receivers to play against the Vikings . They get an equal number of targets. Who comes out with the most yards and receptions
Same thing Robinson vrs Fountain. Who has the best game?? [Reply]

Mecca, suga, honey bear, do you rreeaallyy think Dieter, Ffrench, Powell, Schoen, or Shepard have a cornbread’s chance in a southern folks home of making the roster? Baby cakes big daddy Andy will carry six strapping young wideouts and Daurice “tall glass of water” Fountain will be there. 😘 [Reply]
Cutting Robinson for turds like Fountain because of “hey who knows about his upside” is the kind of shit the fucking Jaguars do. Or the Broncos or the Raiders. It’s not what championship contenders do.
