I hope he’s ok. It looked like he was hurt this week. I hope he can play vs the Saints.

Jonathan Stewart said on his podcast this week that things are different for division game week in terms of rest for key players. 

Hopefully that is the major factor.

Trying to figure out his value this offseason is going to be tough for us or any other team. His agent knows RBs in their late 20s are in low demand due to eventual fall off in production and injury risks so he’s going to get every dollar he can for his client.

I'm on board with a 3 year deal

I don’t know how he could hold up at this level of use for three years. 
And I am not counting on Brooks but Rico is what they thought they were getting in Brooks. 
 

If somehow Brooks comes back right we have a good problem.

Well somebody's gonna pay him.  It's a fair concern that he won't hold up even until he's 30, as he's 27 now.  But I'd be willing to take that risk.  Sign me up for 2-3 more seasons of Rico.  (Might have to eat a bad one for year 3)  Pay him like the top 10 back he's been this season and pound the rock.

I think he's got a couple years until he falls off hard like Stephen Davis and Marion Barber.

Yeah somebody will pay him. You can’t look at what he is doing and not want that foryour backfield.

God we are so dumb

I completely missed on Dowdle. My fault for assuming a move Dallas made was correct. That said, no one saw Dowdle being a top RB in the NFL with only a few starts and no one predicted Dowdle would push Hubbard to the bench by clearly outplaying him.

I only saw him play once and he kept hesitating and getting hit in the backfield.  I think the Dallas line was just ass and didn’t give him as much time as he needs to do his thing.

      It may not be exact science and this FO is relatively new, but it is very much likely the first couple picks will be of players we met.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      The only other position group I could think of is ILB since Dan was there for Rodriguez and Hill Jr. pro days in Texas. It’s one of the reasons I get the feeling ILB could be the pick at 19.

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
