Nope.  Wasn’t talking about 17.  Here you go.  This is a good read.

Man that’s a fluff piece.

 

2 of those top 5 didn’t even go in the top two rounds. 

I’d be surprised if more than three of those backs on the field beginning of next year.

Some decent run blocking would be nice. Our backs have been seeing way too many brick walls. Open some holes and we may be fine with the guys we already have. 

Yea...look what that little btch Dwill did going to the burgh...

Tried to tell y’all rb wasn’t a need. Glad we didn’t waste a pick on one

lol typical Panther draft, expect typical FA picks ups.

 

 

Christ. My father had an old shellac 78 of this (Revelers version, though), inherited from his father. They both had godawful taste in music.

That said, sometimes you can spin sh*t into gold:

OMG lololol pls no to Eddie Lacy. That guy is fuging terrible

I've been saying since day 1, the guy we should sign in FA is Alfred Morris.  He can do all the same stuff that stew did at a fraction of the price.  Better yet, and probably most importantly, he's run some of the zone read stuff and been very successful with it, so he will know when hold and let go on the exchange which is probably CAP's biggest mistake right now.  If we want another Stew on the roster, that's the guy IMO.

He was very productive except for last year... but to his defense, no one was able to run behind Seattle OL.  Every RB they started, ended up on IR.  Lacy one year removed from 5.1 yards per carry and he’s in his prime.

CAP had like 18 carries last year for 95 yards and half of that 95 yards came on 1 run.  CAP is super average RB.  He also not very big.

Impossible.  He was ROY which means the yellow brick road to Canton @saints4lifeagain

Anderson averaged 4.1 ypc last season and is 27. This would be a great signing. There is a couple of potential caveats. It is unclear why Denver let him go and salary demands are always a factor.

I appreciate your response but Eddie Lacy does not pass the eye test. He looks bad running the ball for the past few years.

Everyone getting their hoped up for CJA must just love setting themselves up for disappointment over and over again. 

It's all I have left

Eddie Lacy has good numbers, outside of last year in Seattle. 

Your reach is poor. 

I mean, Barnett has been fitted for his HOF jacket since he broke the sack record in college, right?

[ColumbusCounty]

We almost have to unless they plan on going into camp with 3 rbs. I dunno if the Louisville dude we got undrafted is a WR, Qb, Kr/Pr, or Rb.

[Pi = 3.1SHutYoMouth!]

 

I watched a lot of Louisville games. Don't count on Bonnafon being a good RB replacement for Stew. He was placed at that position because Louisville was weak at RB. He's at best a poor man's Curtis Samuels for Louisville.

We're going to have to sign a veteran RB.
