You can literally use the injury excuse for any position.

 

What happens if Bryce gets injured?

What happens if Horn gets injured?

 

RB is a position where you're expected to have more than one player taking snaps. QB is not.

Good points, we need depth at both positions

If you drafting for depth with a limited roster your GM is not doing something right.

 

We need starters on defense multiple. Drafting for backups is DUMB! You only do that when you have a stacked roster. We aren't the Eagles in terms of talent.

Moving the goalpost. Any player can get injured.

He didn’t move the goal posts.  You need to play multiple RBs in every single game you play.   It’s not a backup in reality, it’s part of a RB committee.   You need that in the NFL.

Brooks is a 2nd pick that this team Lit on fire. Dude is useless to this team for another year, unfortunately. A second rounder who won’t even play until year 3? I hope they learned from that. 

Restock RB with 4+ rounders. Big mo fos. An O line of goons will make any bruising back look like like a pro bowler. Just need someone to move the chains.

I understand that my friend. Listen carefully, I think we can find a backup RB in FA or sign a undrafted RB. 

 

What is wrong with my option?

 

I want Tmac and a all defense draft. If we can't get Tmac just go all defense.

RB in the draft comes with higher potential and is likely cheaper.  Especially if he turns out to be good and you want to keep him around.   Money/cap can go to harder to find positions.

position is devalued which makes RBs in that range have higher odds of actually becoming real NFL players vs other spots in that range.  It’s just a good positional bargain in the draft.

We been investing in the RB position for years. Get a undrafted RB. Chuba is the real deal he doesn't need some elite RB to back him up. Just my opinion on the situation.

 

What if our current backup RB rushes for 100 yards Sunday? I mean we writing him off after 1 bad game.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
