I can link 500000000 videos of guys making great plays in college too, only to fail in the NFL. It's pretty sad at this point that you are trying to keep this going.

He certainly made a play on Allen's first pass. It just didn't result in a TD because the ball was thrown out of bounds. Then he didn't make the play, because he had no awareness of his feet in regards to the sideline. 1

Daboll certainly did and he coached Foster.

I would think if he makes players look like they have cement in their shoes, he would have a little more production don't you think? 3 minutes ago, Sky Diver said: I don't know of any film of college players playing against NFL players, do you?

How much potential did they see when no one drafted him? Not even a 7th round pick...completely undrafted.

CommonCents Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I’m hoping he does well tonight. This clearly means a lot to you and I can imagine how happy you would be. Watching you strut around TBD until game 3 will be a joy for everyone.

We should taken him as an UDFA I guess.

As for the bold print above, try to understand that Foster played on a team with a great wr Calvin Ridley, AND a qb who was a runner and a game manager. A case could be made that he is not such a good passer at all. Additionally, deep down; Coach Saban prefers running the football over throwing it. He has adapted well (obviously) to the times but seriously.....he would rather run. Foster probably has a lot to learn when compared to other rookies due to the above. He didn't get a whole lot of chances. Why don't we stay calm and see how it plays out? Bill, he had injury issues at Alabama too .https://www.rollbamaroll.com/2017/6/29/15895504/65-days-til-alabama-football-rooting-for-robert-foster Edited August 17, 2018 by Sky Diver

Very few udfa make it big as stars anymore. It was much more common even 15 years ago before the instant media and smart phone boom. Guys rarely go under the radar anymore, and the ones that do (even throughout history) all have one thing in common from what I can tell: THEY DIDN'T PLAY AT A BIG SCHOOL They went under the radar because nobody really saw them play. Big schools rarely if ever gave a guy who goes udfa then makes it big, exceptions would most likely be a guy who was a stud, had a big injury, and dropped in the draft due to that concern. Foster played at Alabama, so everybody and their mother has seen him play, he didn't go udfa because he was under the radar. He went udfa because he didn't show enough to warrant even one of the 32 7th round picks this year. The entire bills fanbase would be ecstatic if he was good, even better if he's great. Nobody is against that. Everybody is just all over you because your opening post makes it seem like we just found Randy Moss as a udfa, even though we all saw him sh*t the bed against the Panthers last week. If he had come out with 100 yards and a TD we'd be excited. Instead he looked terrible. Wake up man.

That is a big number. The salary cap plays a part for sure, but it’s nice to see that many under the radar players on the top 2 teams.

If you can't see Foster's potential, I don't know what to say. Daboll certainly did and he coached Foster. I can see the kid has some potential. So do dozens of other young receivers battling to make NFL squads this summer..... including a handful of others here with the Bills. My dispute is your assertion that he "made plays" on Thursday. He didn't. He had chances to make plays and singularly failed to make them. You then asked whether someone who has legitimately made some plays in the NFL (despite not living up to his 1st round status) has the ability to do what Foster did. Which is ludicrous, because what Foster did was nothing. 0 receptions for 0 yards. The kid isn't a lost cause yet, but if he doesn't have himself a game tonight (and believe me I am rooting for him) then he will pretty much have run out of time to make it with the Bills. Potential is one thing. This league is about production. He doesn't have great college production to fall back on, he doesn't have the protection generally afforded to drafted rookies so he needs to produce on the field. And produce doesn't mean run fast. It means actually making plays, not whatever your definition is. 2
