Brianmoorman4jesus Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 If this guy was good, he’d be on the team already. It’s not Major League Baseball. People just need to accept the fact that the guy is never going to matter here. It’s no big deal.

And of course, no one on an NFL practice squad ever developed, made the regular roster, and became a starter. 3 2

Wade currently represents a very cheap extra running back. I think in order for him to make the roster, he would actually have to be better than all the backs on the team. In that respect, he's at a disadvantage.

So then he would take up one of the 16 spots. They may do that or if they can’t they might tell him and his agent to take a look around the league for a team that will. He’s getting up there in age so it’s now or never.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 That don't confront me as long as I gets my 'is Christian Wade playing?' thread by next Friday. 1
ColoradoBills Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 In tune with the swallows return to San Juan Capistrano the opening of Buffalo Bills Training Camp brings the Christian Wade posts. I love tradition. 1 1
DCofNC Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 If he doesn’t make the roster this year, he might as well give up. He’s too old to be waiting around, he’s had 2 years to grasp the concepts, either you do, or you don’t. It’s football, not rocket surgery. His window is closing fast, he better step on the gas.

Well the reason they're keeping him around is technically he doesn't cost against a roster spot So it's no risk, with reward if he somehow pans out He's been a professional athlete so he knows the work ethic, probably a good team guy 1

What is the guy going to figure it out and get on this team when he’s 30 as a RB? By now you are moving on from a guy that old at RB. It’s a cool story I guess. He will probably get a few moments in a pre season again. But people act like he’s this gem we have for down the line stuff…it’s not happening.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Based upon his rugby skills, I still think they're keeping him to somehow and someway run a kickoff return to avenge the 'Music City Miracle'. An exorcism, if you will. 1

I hear you Brian, but I still think it’s entirely possible especially given the limited careers that running backs have nowadays and the fact that physically he hasn’t taken a lot of damage over the last few years. He could have a nice little career starting now until the time he is 35. That’s six years including this year.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Setting up the three way trade with the Jaguars and Eagles. Wade's rights go to Jags (UK player makes good), Jags send JAG to the Eagles, Eagles send Ertz to Buffalo. * I hereby report myself. *
JGMcD2 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 There are two really loud Christian Wade factions… 1) The group that believes Christian Wade is a NFL running back right now and needs to make the roster and the Bills are doing him a disservice by keeping him on the practice squad. 2) The group that believes Christian Wade is not good at all and will never be good and is wasting a spot for someone else and they’re tired of hearing about him (thanks group #1). Both sides are out of touch and don’t understand the purpose of keeping Christian Wade around. 2
