I have always said that he is our most explosive back, and it's true. He plays above his weight consistently. He can and does run between the tackles. Give him some credit. The only real knock on him are his hands, and those even look a little better as of late. 

I remember a few (maybe a lot) calling him JAG, clowning him for being picked by Mrs. Rhule, or just saying that he shouldn't be on an NFL roster. What say you now?

I had no big reaction with the pick either way. I looked at his college tape and he looked good enough to me, knowing I am not a talent evaluator  I don’t expect to know more than the pros do. 4th rounder which suits me for a running back (as opposed to a 1st rounder).

What this really shows here, is that you do not need to spend the top picks or the money on fancy running backs. You need a stout OL and a hungry mid round rb to go with them. 

The two first rounders that held the team record for rushing yards in a game were dethroned by a couple of afterthoughts.

He’s improved a lot but Blackshear looks just as good when the line is moving people.

Blackshear looks like he's got some electricity in him just waiting to sizzle to me. It's hard for him to get too many snaps with Foreman and Chuba ahead of him, but I really like the small sample in terms of "eye test". I think he's got nice awareness and some juice and "want-to" that has me excited.

On the flip-side, Shi Smith seems like about the least aware player on the team. I'm ready to see him jettisoned asap.

      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
