Would You Be Okay With Starting CAP?

Rather than wasting money or wasting or reaching a pick, this guy was drafted and accepted as Stew's replacement. Drafting another RB would amount to the same thing and personally if the first round has that many good backs, maybe teams will go that direction and leave something open like a Derwin James. Unfortunately Seattle may be the landing spot for James. I don't see the purpose of repeating a process we repeated a few years ago with getting Artis Payne. He needs to start. He had solid stats last year and has been solid throughout to the point that we should roll the dice with him.

No, I would rather start our starting running back.  You know, the guy with over 1000 all purpose yards last season....

CMC is our feature back now...let's stop trying to find someone to put as the 1.  He reminds me so much of LT its scary.

CAP couldn't crack the line-up before CMC was here, either. Couldn't outplay Fozzy or Tugboat Tolbert. Let that sink in.

CAP has grabbed some nice paychecks (at least compared to us normal folks) and it's probably time to cut him loose and let him either go to pasture or someone else's RB committee. 

In limited appearances he had quite a bit of pop, sometimes that was the pop he put on a defender, sometimes it was the sound of the ball popping out of his arms and back into play. 

In the end, I wouldn't let Fozzy go to keep CAP on the roster.

CMC starts, I'm fine with CAP playing second fiddle this year but should still spend a pick on a back (no earlier than the 3rd) because CAP is gone after next season.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
