You may be right.  But I just like finding a new underdog to root for every season. This year I think Scarlett is my guy.  Holyfield May be tough but he is a plodder. This kid has strength and speed.  I really like how he runs. 

Who knows if we will ever use him.  But at least I can get my hopes up.  We have no intention of ever using CAP.  

I agree with this.. It's  nice to have a power back with speed to go the distance..

Let me put this another way.  Part of my wanting to find a second quality running back stems from the fact that we run 90% of our darn offense through the kid.  If CMC goes down and we can’t run the ball because of CAP being just mediocre we are in trouble.  

If CMC goes down it makes us one dimensional and then they are gonna pin their ears back against Cam.  Hell we could be left with a season with Grier trying to run this offense with CAP running the ball.  The is a disaster. 

So is Scarlett the answer?  I have no idea.  But I am hoping we find someone to have a good 1, 2 punch.  And to grind out some 4 th quarter games.  We can’t keep running CMC like the Rams did Gurley.

    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those. 
    • This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like. 
    • If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
