Does Bonnafon need more snaps?

[Jeremy Igo]

So Bonnafon looked pretty darn good against the Chargers right? He looked much better than Curtis Samuel at running back. So why not give him the reps that Samuel got there instead?

I've thought he deserved more snaps since last season. He should have been spelling CMC long ago imho, and now there's absolutely no reason not to get him more involved.

I think they both need more snaps with CMC hurt, it doesnt make any for one running back to dominate the snaps

Samuel’s stock is dropping quickly. He should e traded

Reggie rocks when he gets the ball. Now why hasn't he been out on the field, or even the active roster from the season start?

Honestly, you and I don't know. Perhaps he was having trouble getting his role down for the whole playbook last season and then had trouble with it again this offseason with the coaching changes. Perhaps he isn't a good blocking back. Perhaps he just doesn't enjoy good relations with the coaches. Perhaps he is constantly being saved up for a rainy day. It could be any of those things.

It could also be that he has ball control issues at practice that are worrying, but haven't manifested themselves on the field yet. It could be a conditioning issue or that he doesn't quickly recover from hits on the field. We just don't know. 

Whatever it might be, if he can get past that, I think he'd be an amazing running back, just overshadowed by one who could go down as one of the greatest.

Good luck Reggie! And good job to Davis, too.

He looked more explosive than Davis. He’s not a vet like Davis. But I think he would have turned in a better yardage total had he had all the carries. As you posted before there were plays where you could see where CMC would have extended a run that Davis couldn’t finish. I don’t think Reggie is on CMC’s level but I think the same would be said about him hitting holes quicker and doing more. Maybe Reggie doesn’t have the hands, not sure.

[Varking]

I’d be open to getting him more playing time. Curtis shouldn’t be a running back but he does well with reverses out of the backfield and getting one snap a game or so. Keep teams on their toes. 

[SaltnPepper]

Always liked him. He has homerun ability. 

Another guy I thought we should have stuck with.

Honestly Cmac should be shut down for the year.

No reason to not just let him heal up and rehab.

Dude probably has financial incentives he wants to meet.  I don't think that's fair to him.

It is if you pay him a anyway. 

You take his average numbers off the last two years and cut him a check.

Moore hasn’t been quite impressive either. Ridley was the better player and that draft and has proven so in the NFL. Moore was a non factor last Sunday. Robby is already our #1 after 3 weeks of football. I would honestly try to trade both guys before the deadline if we start to pile losses. Moore isn’t worth 12 plus million a year for 2-4 TDs a season. 

Interesting fact: Moore was the leading receiver the last two games.

20 rec, 278 yds = awesome. true No. 1

14 rec, 239 yds (6 less catches, only 39 less yards = unimpressive, trade him

I'm sorry you have so many idiots on here, @Jeremy Igo. I really am. I've muted hundreds of them and yet more appear every week.

[top dawg]

I know everyone is drinking the Mike Davis Kool-Aid, but I thought Bonnafon earned the backup job last season. 

Samuel has lost a lot of favor, which is not a surprise being how awkward a fit he seems to be in this offense, so if Bonnafon gets his snaps, what can I say?
