You mean he’s a bigger name than Freeman. He stinks, has for at least two years now.

His knees are shot, Royce had better yards per attempt and much better catching % the last couple years. Also 3 years less wear on his body. There is zero reason to not give Freeman at least 10 touches next game at this point. If he was a free agent everybody would want him here based on these highlights-

The problem is obvious on this offense and it isn't the RB depth.  Any bandaids we try to apply aren't going to work.  The OL is terrible and until that is fixed our offense will struggle mightily 

Hate to quote Gettleman but he mentioned that good lines allow you to complete.  💯 correct on that point and we are seeing it clearly right now

He’s solid, but is he really worth trading a pick for a team with CMC and Chuba Hubbard? What’s his role, even with CMC out? And once he returns, he’s a likely gameday inactive. 

I can't help it; I'm thinking within the context of trading CMC. Chuba can't catch a cold. His blocking is suspect also (but I'll give him a rookie pass on the blocking).

    • we got spoiled having superman and even then...he wasn't enough. superman was a fluke. there are incredibly unrealistic expectations for a first round QB, especially a first overall pick. people look at the short term, first year, rather than what you might get the next 10 and they also think that what you see the first year or two is what you get the rest of the time.  it just doesn't work like that. these guys are all young and a work in progress. you draft on potential. what it takes to reach that potential is different for everyone and it all depends on the situation they fall into, the player pieces around them, the scheme they either put him in or develop around him (the latter is better), and the coaching they give him. then there's also the work the player has to put into it. the work they put into is is the only thing they can control. the rest is just luck. 
    • I actually agree with everything you've said here. My comment was directed to the posters who feel the need to derail threads with the same Bryce talking points over and over again. It's just tiresome, even if what they're saying has some truth to it.
    • That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it is off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. It buys nothing. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of taking the team to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary.
