He can pass pro adequately, knows the offense. I'll give him that.

My biggest question is: What will the fans yell out every time he gets the ball? "Skiiiiiiiii"?

If we keep playing Kuhn, we just stall the development of Ripkowski. From what I've seen from him on special teams, the kid belongs on the football field.

Kuhn is a solid NFL football player in the twilight of his career. So I guess the ultimate question remains: is there room on the roster for two fullbacks? If so, there's no harm resigning Kuhn.
