Did JRP get any playing time last Knight against Buffalo?
- Thread starter Knight_Classes_begin_7pm
- Start date
I thought he said he was going to be a QB?
They don’t trust him and they still have a QB decision to make. 2 guys that have a lot to prove still. Can’t rest them and look at backups much. He may need a big return tonight to make 53. I’m thinking he will be practice squad.
Is practice squad better than doing the xfl? With the new nfl kick off rules do they really need a returner? 53 roster cut off is Tuesday Aug 28.

In Final Push For Roster Spot, John Rhys Plumlee Hopes To Make Splash Play
It’s not over until it’s over. Rookie QB John Rhys Plumlee might have long roster odds but as FB Roosevelt Nix and others have shown before, a spot on the 53 can be captured in a preseason finale. Speaking to reporters following Thursday’s practice, the versatile and athletic Plumlee talked up...

Neither are great salaries for the the physical toll they take and there is many player college players making significantly more money. May take 5+ years to match what Dillon Gabriel got this year.
Being on the practice squad and you are only 4 ankles away from playing! 
With John Rhys Plumlee at quarterback for his second drive, the Steelers' drive came down to a crucial fourth-and-three. The former UCF product found Quez Watkins downfield for a 24-yard gain. However, an illegal man downfield penalty wiped it out before a false start on the following play forced them to punt.

He’s going to be cut from the roster before the season starts. I hope he graduated with a useful degree.
In his 2 drives there were 3 penalties I believe. 2 false starts by linemen and illegal man downfield. The illegal man downfield was 4th and 3. He got first down on a nice play. He ran ok as well. But the question someone asked about are returners needed, I have yet to see a play where they didn’t return it. If it lands in the zone; you have to return it or the other team can get it.
Hoping JRP makes the cut! We haven’t had enough former UCF QBs in the NFL.
I bet he makes the practice squad . Awfully talented athlete that they can find a spot for him to develop
"I bet he makes the practice squad"
There already is a running bet challenge he doesn't.
Tuesday's 4 p.m. deadline for 53-man roster. Most predictions have him getting cut or practice squad.

Yes from what I read in earlier articles and interviews he agreed to play WR to increase his chances of staying on the team even on the practice squad.
You can't teach some of the skill sets he has so he could get a break from somebody in the NFL. Look at the ex-QBs who played WR for New England for example.

He’s on the Steelers. You can just look at them. Hines Ward and Antwan Randle El were both converted QBs to WR.
Former UCF kicker Matt Wright got cut from the Steelers today. Deadline is 4pm.

Ironically, An ex-UCF player does make Steeler practice squad:
The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing wide receiver Brandon Johnson to their practice squad, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Johnson spent the last two season with the Denver Broncos, recording 25 catches for 326 yards and five touchdowns.

He’s not a QB. He has never been a viable QB. He is another failed Gus Malzone project.
I bet he makes a practice squad. You always get cut first, and then the practice available players are placed on each team.XFL here JRP comes!

Yeah everyone gets cut and then gets put on waivers. If no one claims the player, he can then negotiate with teams on which practice squad they want to join.
Jags sign JRP to their practice squad
Lobolame-a hurricane fan who never played a down of football, never coached a game of football and whose failed opinions only prove what an idiot you are.

He is awfully athletic. He’s got good knowledge of the game and I guarantee you they’re going to try to put him in a position as a slot receiver similar to quarterbacks who have prevailed in that position. There was no doubt that he was the perfect practice player to try to develop in a new position.
That's freakin' interesting! Jags? Who had that on their bingo card? As the world turns...
