Oh seems we have that issue all the sudden. I don't remember Stew or Dwill being so injured.

For a few games, yeah. Then he started breaking down and we had to go runningback by committee.

Basically he's not back for the same reason Russell Okung isn't.

But then again Biakabatuka looked like he was going to be sick then got hurt
But then again Stephen Davis....mother fuger our RBs/LBs man...must be the lul another 1st round LB/RB pick curse from shitty Hurney

Duke is one hell of a pass catching back and probably has a bit more left in the tank than Gurley at this point. Duke is great catching balls out of the backfield and is really dangerous in open space. He helps mitigate the loss of CMC more than Gurley would imo 

But can he short yardage?

Seems to me that's what we have Sam Darnold for

Was in a situation where I had to start him in my fantasy league last night (it was between him and a banged up Big Ben)

Thankfully it worked out well for me. 25 fantasy points thanks to those rushing TDs

Ben is shot....completely done so that was a good call...not for your depth there but considering Darnold is an out of nowwhere addition that no one expected it could be worse

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
