Hope CMC can stay healthy.  Kinda a weird move based on the current trajectory of things.   Way the season is going, we are going to have to pound our RBs into mush and still lose while doing it.    Seems like splitting all that up would be wise with a pretty big commitee.   And you got to think given the amount we will run into run looks....our guys are going to get dinged up with that approach.

Seems this staff does things that don't make much sense personal wise.....very confusing bunch we have here.

It's because they don't know what they are doing. They've been winging it for a while now and it's just caught and overwhelmed them.

Rhule and Co. were ready for a move to the SEC, not a move to the NFL.

Yup, I think letting him go was absolutely stupid.  He was the one big, powerback we had on the roster.  And of course, our dumbass staff cuts him because they like Abdullah's "energy" and I'm sure his ability to play multiple positions.😂

We had Freeman claimed by Texans and LB Clay Johnston claimed by the Bengals on Tuesday. There's plenty of talent on this team unfortunately our QB is holding us back. 

Wait...  we released Clay, too?  I just saw the OL guys put on IR and waiving Freeman.  Wow.  Not that he was great or anything, just didn't see it.

Did u forget we have chubba and Abdullah that’s actually looked good

I think CMC is great and I love Chuba. 

But if the season is already over? I would want to limit how much damage they take going forward.  

If Rhule can he will smash them I into D’s playing the run 40 times a week….as we lose? Not a fan of that.  Why not keep Royce and grind him some.  Spread it out. 

we haven’t even gotten to the hard part yet lol.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
