Alfred Morris for Ronnie Hillman?


WhoAmI?

Recommended Posts

Someone just offered me Hillman for Morris. At the beginning of the year, I would have laughed hysterically at this. But it looks like Hillman will take Ball's job which automatically makes him a top 10 RB with Peyton. Not to mention he is also used in the passing game. Morris (without the threaat of RGIII) is looking sluggish and is limited because he is taken out on passing downs. The question is, would you accept this trade? I already have Forte, Miller, Tate, and McKinnon.

hillman is solid but you don't know for sure that he'll be the full time starter once ball is health. he's been getting 20 carries a game, but idk if that will last.

 

if you already have those running backs, maybe seek a trade for another position.

It's boom/bust. Morris will always be solid but Hillman you really don't know. One fumble, Ball could come in rush for 100 on like 10 carries and you got yourself a RBBC. Too risky IMO, and I'd keep Morris.

 

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Morris is guaranteed about 15-20 touches a game and when RGIII comes back, the threat of his legs could open things back up for Morris, while Hillman might be involved in a committee once Ball comes back. The trade offer had me thinking though, but I'm not going to get too cute with my lineup. And yeah, I definitely might trade for another position. Thanks you guys.

You have to look at it as who will give you the best chance to score points each week.. Morris already has touches/receptions taken by Helu. It is Hillman's job in Denver right now, Ball may get some work to give Hillman a rest. 

 

Denver's offense will be on the field a lot longer than Washington's offense each week, therefore, Hillman should see more snaps than Morris going forward..

    • I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
