Duke Johnson is amazing.

Yeah, I had the same thought. Really surprised he isn’t signed with someone right now. Especially with the Ravens and 49ers injury issues.

Hes not been a great runner out of the backfield so I guess that’s why, but he really is a poor mans James White which is certainly worth having.

Then why isn’t he on a team. Not saying he is garbage but he has been to a couple team tryouts and not signed.

Just mentioned on another comment that he’s never been that great of a runner out of the backfield. He’s really a WR but with a RBs body. He’s fast but he’s not a burner and he’s never been good as a traditional RB. But I view him as a poor mans James White and a reliable check down for Darnold on 3rd and long. 
 

He’s not an elite RB but he’s damn good catching balls and can make something happen in space. I will feel MUCH better with someone like him because Hubbard just isn’t comfortable catching passes at this point.

Do you think Hubbard is big enough to be 1,2 down back?

I guess we are about to find out. He hit his stride later in the game last night and was a damn good runner in college. I don’t know if he’s a 1,2 down back but I trust him more in that role than I do trusting him as an outlet for Darnold on 3rd and 8

All he has to do is get first downs and keep the chains moving.  We don't need him to break off 80 yard runs.  He also has to be able to block linebackers.  If he can do that well I say bring his ass on board.

Averages 5 yards a carry. Nearly 5k career all-purpose yards and 20 TDs.

I've never been able to understand why he's not been used more in the NFL. I don't think we'll sign him, because life isn't that fair, but I think he's a brilliant player.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
