I think he's definitely getting cut. They're going to draft a RB in probably the 3rd round and that guy will eventually take over the RB2 spot from Gainwell.

To be fair, with the crappy Tomlin forced offense who cares who the quarterback is?

I just wonder why they paid so much for a wide receiver that stretches the field when to Tomlin stretching the field means throwing an entire five yards down field.

Of course, that’s bogus gum-flapping from the on-camera members of the “Tomlin Defense Foundation” at all of the NFL national network partners and many league-wide print/online publications.

All of them play an illogical game where they twist themselves into a pretzel by trying to absolve Tomlin from any blame about how his rosters have been constructed, yet they simultaneously throw rose petals at his feet for being a maestro with a firm hand on the baton at all times keeping the orchestra together.

Tomlin has his finger on the pulse of everything that goes on in that organization’s football operations — regardless of whether the national media only acknowledges that when it’s convenient to their narrative of Tomlin’s infallibility.
