At one point I thought he was a victim of Rivera's doghouse.

But with the way the Broncos were so quick to drop him like a hot potato even though he was coming off a 1,000 yard season, and how things went here with him eventually just getting in digs at our expense on social media, it's seems like there's more to it on his end when you realize the only team willing to offer him a contract is sitting on a 2-10 record.

In a locker room full of unique personalities, I could see him as being the very awkward one.  On his Twitch stream he seems to be a guy who isn't good in social situations and team situations...so I could see why they shipped him off.  What good it did?  no one knows since we've been 0-3 since he's gone ha.

I suppose he'll light it up with the raiders, right?

Why didn't we utilize him more? I think you look around at all the teams that could have used a good RB ....not necessarily desperate teams, even. Teams that could have had cheap and easy to acquire talent that could have strengthened their corps passed on him. We're they all just as stubborn as Norv? Or maybe he just isn't a good fit really anywhere systemwise or personality-wise.

I don't have anything against the guy, I just think with him you've got an odd fixture that worked great in one unique situation but is out of place everywhere else. 

He didn't fit here and he just wasn't going to be used and he was so out of place here that we didn't even try to keep him around. The fact the only team he could get a job with is probably the biggest group of misfits in the league should help understand just how out of place he was.

It's quite possible I'm wrong about him, but I just think what was seen of him in Denver is all we'll really have seen of him the rest of his time in the league.

Gruden stockpiled a ton of picks for next season, they have 3 first round picks and more the following season etc.

so CJ can entrench himself there and can establish himself as the guy there or half of a committee.

its a great situation long term,

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
