Not primarily a receiving back but 11 targets 1 drop last year

Chris Manhertz caught 7 of 9 targets in 2019 and 2020. Doesn't make him a viable receiving option.

If he did/does somehow break out in the passing game then great. His career to date doesn't project him as an asset on the field in those situations.

He’s not a 4.45 guy. That was a pro day time like when Funchess ran a 4.5. That 4.45 would have been a record for a 230+ pound RB. If he was really that fast he would have run at the combine. 

So he ran a 4.45 40 at his Pro Day but because he didn't run the 40 in the combine the 4.45 sec 40 at his Pro Day doesn't count. I don't get it...

Foreman's  drop% is half of Chubba's.  Chubba has one of the worst drop rates in the league.  In the Houston game, Chubba dropped 40% of his passes.    In the Minn game he droppeed 67% of his passes.  These weren't some over the shoulder deep, finnese, toe-drag bombs...these were check downs.  Chubba can't catch a cold.  J. Brady never learned that and he used  Chubba  in the passing game over and over on 3rd down.

Sample sizes are not the same, but its very unlikely that Foreman catches as poorly as Chubba.  Chubba is one of the worst  I've ever seen.

Was this the guy that crushed it on Tennessee Titans last year while Derrick Henry was out?

Yes.  Yet... he is getting crushed in this forum.  Maybe rightfully so, but I'm hoping we get last year's version of him.

Chuba and Foreman are also completely different types of backs, and Foreman's lack of receptions to date show he hasn't been suited to passing situations/catching the ball in his career. This isn't complicated.

Yes, Chubba is a smaller back.   If he can't catch checkdowns in today's league, he should consider other work.

Chubba is the one whose proven he can't catch.  Jury is out on  Foreman.  Early indications say he's better than Chubba.  But then again, who isn't?

I don't disagree about Hubbard being a poor receiver last year - it was frustrating watching him drop ball after ball tossed right to his hands. I'm just saying that Foreman getting Jordan Howard-esque usage in the passing game year after year does not give a positive signal for his potential in the area, even if he doesn't drop the few that come his way. 

Time will tell, but at this point it seems a pretty limited signing.

I see it as a Mike Davis type signing and another selling point for DW. 

We're desperate at this point, and unfortunately its showing.

      Mnf uniform combo White uni. Black helmet & socks

      I think those silver helmets look great. The logo is fairly primitive looking but I understand why it is used.  The dayglo type blue top/bottom, I think looks like a cartoon. IOW not good. White on white is a classic look, no issue. Black on black I can take but prefer black pants with a blue top. Or white pants with the blue top.  That is about as much fashion content as I am comfortable posting. Maybe go to E or Bravo for this stuff.

      Remember when the NFC South was the toughest division (circa 2002-2006 when every NFC Championship game featured one of the four of us?)

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By strato · Posted

      You are a fair point argument guy, but I disagree that Bryce got us out of that Miami hole. You know who Rico Dowdle is, right?  Just a small quibble.    IMO when I look at him and see his output in a typical game I imagine what he did that a replacement level guy wouldn’t or couldn’t have done.  And I have trouble seeing much difference.  So assuming they can’t replace him with someone’s backup, not everybody’s but there are guys sitting, assuming they can’t replace him for probably less money would potentially be an erroneous assumption.    But based more on his relationship with the team and the guys making the decisions, the question of will they? I tend to see them sticking with him.  I never wanted him at all. But after all the misery of the Bryce era so far, I don’t have a problem with waiting until the season is complete to decide. Bring it on, I can take it.  So I am not ranting that he needs to go, although I have certainly done that and can’t say he has changed my mind to this point.  He still could.  We’ll see.
