Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025


Recommended Posts

Almost as if to not only trade up, not only take a devalued position in the 2nd round, not only take an injured player but trade up in the 2nd round to pick a RB that was already injured lmao

We just drafted a 2026 guy in 2024. 

Yep. Thats why it never made sense. He was most likely out for most of 2025 and he was an injury risk and the 2025 RB class was loaded and the 2024 RB class was not. All signs pointed to an obvious don’t buy high on a 3 year (2 now) rookie deal when you can buy low with no injury risk on a 4 year rookie deal the next draft.

I swear Morgan didn't have 1st(#1 overall) or a 2nd rounder in this rebuild.......Then his first 2nd rounder that he gave up two 5ths for is now out for basically 2 years.....

Football is not forgiving....

No rush. We should be fine with China and the newly drafted Etienne. Hopefully he can pull, a TD and ultimately overcome this.

Don't forget Rico is our RB2 for the year.  He is our rental until Brooks can play (IF Brooks can play again).

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
