Neither McCoy or Murray went in the first round. And both Spiller and Ingram weren't worth their first round billing, both have also been out produced by guys drafted in lower rounds.

I think for now we are ok at the rb position.

 

You can't talk about draft position with veteran players.  Draft position ceases to matter after a season or two.  At that point, the player is judged based on what he's done in the NFL.  I agree that Spiller and Ingram proved to be unworthy of their 1st round draft positions, but they still proved to be valuable commodities in free agency.  If you're gonna knock Spiller and Ingram for being 1st round picks, you have to admit that both McCoy and Murray would've been 1st rounders if those drafts were re-done today.

 

We're okay for right now at the RB position, but are we still okay if Stewart gets hurt again?  You're comfortable with Fozzy being the bell cow?  What about next year at this time if (more likely when) Stewart is released?

I like Stewart. I do. He's an excetionally talented back.... but his stock is high and now would be an excellent time to trade him and use a couple of picks on a RB in a deep draft class.

I'm not saying I'm endorsing it... But I am throwing it out there to gauge interest and as something to ponder. Would you do it? There's never going to be a better time than now, and it comes with a number of upsides.

Just seeing what the populace thinks.

He contract stinks and he has injury history. We wouldn't get anything note worthy.

The more I think about it, the more Gurley could make sense for us. Again, I preface this by saying probably not in the 1st round. But, with our running based offense...imagine if Stewart gets hurt again in training camp. Fozzy is the starter. While promising last year, our offense would more than likely be a train wreck (more so than usual).

 

Draft Gurley, roll with Stew/Gurly/Tolbert, Cam, Olsen, KB, and another drafted WR....it at least sounds decent on paper. Especially if Gurley returns to form of the Top 5 RB he seemed destined to be before the knee injury. And not to mention we'll need a proven beast for this offense when Stewart gets cut (it's happening because of the cap hit).  

 

 

My God, I'm talking myself into a RB. Somebody stop me.

this is not your pappy's NFL and the sooner this board realizes it the sooner we can have more intriguing NFL discussions in this vein.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic toward me or agree with what I said haha

 

He fancies himself as some kind of NFL renaissance man.

 

I don't care what era of the NFL you're talking about, 28 year old RBs with a long injury history and an ugly contract don't have much trade value.

 

The reality of the situation is that due to injury restraints, Stewart has only one 1000 yard season in his 7 season NFL career and in the past three seasons, he has only played in 28 of a possibly 48 games.  In the past 5 years combined, he has a total of 10 rushing TDs.  This after having 10 rushing TDs in each of his first two NFL seasons.

 

I like Stewart, but he isn't worth a ham sandwich on the trade market.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
