Ummm, you don't pay players to not be utilized to their fullest. The game itself runs all the players into the ground.

Meh. We have Darius Clark. THE Darius Clark.

2 years $5.5M total; a bit surprised we didn't want to match that but we can probably replace him for cheaper with a later round pick in the draft or a different FA. He filled in admirably this past season but isn't a guy who should be your #1 (which he is in Atlanta as of now...).

I agree..it’s possible he chose Atlanta because of opportunity to start/have a bigger role than here behind CMC

Well that's what we did last year and then we doubled down and restructured the contract of the highest paid running back in the league.

Where exactly is the benefit to the team in this? It's great guys can show up in their #22 jerseys but when does the winning start? Have you seen our divisional record lately?

Atlanta got a good deal by signing Mike Davis for 2 years at $5.5M. I would not be surprised for him to have some career high games against us this year.

Good for him. All the best most of the year, and may he rack up stats while the Falcons lose 10 games by 9-17 points.

Great. He is going to run straight through this weak run defense.

Maybe if we play him early in the season.

By season's end last year, he couldn't handle a full starter's load anymore. We were runningback by committee at that point.

He came in and made the most of his opportunity (something he never really got anywhere else). Now, after making some waves, he's hopefully getting his best contract ever. Good for him and best of the world to the guy.

 

Yea but hate to see him with the Falcons.

From what I've read, he is (at least for the moment) the starter in Atlanta. It's possible he chose the Falcons for that reason.

I honestly think that's a mistake.

Based on what I saw of him last year, he's much better suited to be a top end backup than a full time starter.

Of course everyone chirps in about CMC last season. He had injuries, we brought him back, he was reinjured. 

There was no benefit to the team in that, there never was supposed to be. He was injured. He came back and was utilized before getting reinjured again. He wasn't sat so we would lose games, as is evidenced by the fact we were still trying to win games (Washington anyone?).

Draft Etienne or one of the UNC running backs in the 2nd round problem solved
