I do. you don't. bubble is a strong possibility that the player will get cut. skinsdad has repeatedly said Humphries is on the bubble. I challenged that statement and said Humphries will make the team and not have to return punts. He disagreed. Simple.
GK is right , you don’t know what a bubble is or subject to being replaced is
In harmons rookie year he was the number 4 wr at the end of the year
He got injured last yr and now is subject to being replaced
You can be a bubble guy and make a team
Last year AGG was ahead of Sims on the depth chart to start with at number 4 wr . He got hurt and guess what ? He is on the bubble
what the bubble means is it can go EITHER way , cut or not
humphries is the 4wr right now
any statement regarding humphries being on the bubble directly relates to my previous statement about cam Sims being a number 4-6 we and that ALL 4 through 6 wrs are subject to losing their jobs In my opinion .
does that mean humphries gets cut this yr ? No does it mean he isn’t replaced next yr ? Well as I have said all 4-6 wrs are subject to being replaced so it could go either way hence “ bubble “
On the bubble means the player is fighting for a roster spot. It does not mean they are likely to be cut.
If Humphries gets injured tomorrow with a high ankle sprain and misses the rest of camp, then he gets injured and misses most of the next phase of preseason…does he make the team?
Let’s say Humphries is even with another player but Humphries returns punts…who makes the team? That is what Dad is saying.
Because said poster has attached himself to a player
nope i am not, what i am saying if without carter , sims milne johnson wright , then humphries will have to return puntsyou are backing off your statement that you said Humphries needed to return punts to make this team. Of course you can be a bubble guy and make the team but Humphries is more of a lock than bubble. Then on top of that is you think he has to contribute on ST's to make this team which means he is not good enough as a WR to make this team he has to do more. That is so far from the truth. If he stays healthy he is a lock as a WR.
i didnt discount anything , i said just because fitz likes him that doesnt solely mean he is on the team . and again i have maintained what 4-6 wrs areNo. Just pointing out what you said and you totally discountingthe signing of Humphries. Bubble player my ass. AGG and Harmon are bubble players not Humphries.
who posted this dean ? i did . how many times do i have to say humphries will make the team dean ? several . he will have to return punts if those other guys dont make it . so far they are on the outside looking inThis is my point. Alot of fans and media think this guy is going to contribute as a WR. Then you call the guy a bubble player who HAS to contribute on punt returns to make the team. Doesn't make sense.
nope i am not, what i am saying if without carter , sims milne johnson wright , then humphries will have to return punts
what i have been saying since this BS began is you cant keep 5/6 wrs and the BU's not play special teams . if sims and humphries are equal then you have to keep sims because he returns punts and kick offs . humphries has to return punts for him to break that tie , NOW READ IT DEAN < IF THEY ARE EQUAL !!!!, that is what i have said and maintained .
right now carter is not beating out cam sims , harmon AGG or even steven sims AKA franklin, he is also behind wright on the depth chart
can that change ? YES IT CAN BUT CARTER HAS TO PROVE HE CAN CONTIBUTR IN THE OFFENSE or else you cannot keep him
these are easy simple concepts and no stith lord absolutes

Of course injuries make a difference. A bubble guy is a guy from the outside looking in or his roster spot is shaky. The point is Humphries was brought in to be a WR. Maybe even the starting slot WR. To think he has to perform as a returner to make the team is crazy. Skinsdad think he has to do both to make this team. The guy could be 2nd in receptions this year but he is a bubble player? lol
Wrong!!!! Carter doesnt have to beat out the guys you mentioned. He has to win the punt return battle and he makes the team. Carter was brought here to be a returner not WR. This where we differ on Carter. There is no way in hell Sims and Humphries are equal. Humphries is the better WR and hand picked by Fitz, he is going to make the team. S. Sims is another bubble guy not Humphries. If Carter is the best returner he stays. Simple as that. He doesnt have to be the best WR.

This is a Dean mancrush thing again . He has latched onto 2 guys and when that happens all sense of rational thought goes out the window .If Carter “wins the punt return battle” and can’t contribute on offense, but Sims is close in the battle but contributes…guess who makes the team...if we keep 6 WRs. If we keep 5 WRs, Humphries may have to return kicks.
If we keep 5 WRs and Humphries does not return punts, then he may not make the team.
Hand-picked…what does that even mean? Fitz doesn’t have a say. Fitz is a one year rental. Humphries is on a one year minimal contract. We have no allegiance to either player.
We all agree that Sims is on the bubble.
Nobody said Carter has to be the best WR. He does have to be competent.
This is a Dean mancrush thing again . He has latched onto 2 guys and when that happens all sense of rational thought goes out the window .
He picks bits and pieces of things , conflates them and when he is wrong about some things ( not everyone but some ) he goes with “ that was my opinion “ without acknowledging he should have listened
If he dislikes a guy it’s the same thing
could humphries get cut ? Yes is it likely ? No
why bring anyone into camp if jobs weren’t to be had ? How many people dismissed Curl the day he was drafted ? Quite a few but there was competition and he played his way on
right now Harmon is playing his way on .
why is so outlandish to say carter has to contribute on offense to make the team ? He is not any better the sims but sims can play on offense
I think most people will say if both are equal on returns then the separation factor is who can play on offense . How is that unfathomable?
