Yep.  Emmitt, Bo, Herschel, Jamal Lewis, etc.=garbage 

So 1.5 good pros in over 30 years. Exactly. 

But a better way to look at it is the last 10 years. Who has been worth a crap? Lacy had a good season or 2.

Gurley ran for 1100+ yards in 13 games as a rookie. Slipped a little last season, but I mean c'mon, it's the Rams.

Correct. I was thinking about him as the one bright spot last week but forgot him just now. Good catch.

I'd rather have Gurley.

I don't dislike Fournette at 8 but I don't overly love it.  I just can't get very excited about a running back since there isn't a good track record recently of big time backs making much of an impact.

There's a very good track record of big time RBs making big time impacts when actually surrounded by a good team. Emmitt Smith, Terrell Davis, Marshall Faulk, Edgerrin James, and even though SD never got over the hump I'd put Tomlinson on that list too, Frank Gore too. You can't blame guys like Adrian Peterson and Barry Sanders for their franchise failing to consistently put a team around them.

Rb just isn't a premier position imo, mostly plug n play. I wouldn't mind fournette but only if we address the current issues with the offense, invest more in the tackle position and don't be content with the possibility oher is coming back and Matt will stay healthy for a season. Get another receiver that can take advantage of teams religiously stacking the box. If this is done while drafting fournette you'll get the results everyone is expecting when drafting fourtnette. You don't,you'll get the same result as the last couple of years, defenders in the backfield before the rb makes it to the line of scrimmage, rendering any rb on our roster useless

That's not recent though.

I think Hurney paying DeAngelo and Stew like they were future HOFers has jades this fan base against investing heavily in the RB position. Stephen Davis damn near carried us to a Lombardi. Seek carried the Cowboys to the best record in the league.

Inb4 someone points out the cowgirls didn't have the best record in the league last year

That's one example in how many years? We didnt invest a high draft pick or salary in to Stephen Davis. He had one good season for us and 4 good seasons of 11. Also he was a 4th round pick.

Every running back that Dallas has put in has been successful even when the QB situation was bad. Elliott is a good one.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
