They have been doing the mercenary one year RB now for a little while. Foreman.. 

It works pretty well. You can find ball carriers. The passing game trips a lot of those guys up. Pass blocking, route running, they have a lot to know. 
 

Rico wasn’t a great pass blocker but he got in the way most of the time. He is a really good pass catcher.  
 

He’s tough. Needs to find out why he was cramping late in the games. If he can fix that maybe can step up even more. Wish him luck. I think he’ll do well. 
 

If Brooks can be something, what a bonus that would be at this point.  I really believe they went for him because of his extra layer with being a good receiver. And we need more of that with what we are working with trying to move the ball.

Literally turned our season around. Hate to see him go. Somebody else gonna have to carry the workload on offense. 

He earned his contract for sure. Fell off later. He ain’t gonna like playing Baltimore twice though. Lol.
I am not sure he went to the best situation, but I don’t know his options.

He's talking mad poo on Twitter for a guy that disappeared down the stretch.

Not to mention that abortion of a fumble against the Bucs. 

Canales opened the door to all this with how he managed the RB carries. Then you've got some of our own fans goading him for whatever reason like we paid him a ton of money. These folks should have kept that same energy for other backs who were making record salaries while riding the bench.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Pretty sure that a QB contract payday is all the competition any QB in this league needs, I don't think a competent backup is going to make them play any harder when the current situation wouldn't warrant the contract extension yet anyways. Your opening point in this post is also the problem, "Bryce has shown signs of improving", but that's still all he's shown, and he's only showing that because of just how bad he was to start his career. If he played like last season from the beginning and never improved one bit, then I actually think more fans would be ready to move on from him, which is what's weird.  It's like going from one of the biggest draft busts of all time into the 25th best QB in the league over 3 years means he deserves a long term $40+ million a year contract extension. Improvement shouldn't be the goal when the result of said improvement is still bottom of the league levels.

      Yeah, but we've seen him do it. Just not often. I think that's the reason for the taller WRs. Would likely be a problem finding someone like Jimmy Horn in the mess.

      And the Rams, Seattle, Patriots, Green Bay, Jaguars and the Bills who all made the playoffs and in case you forgot, Seattle and the Patriots played in the SB. By any measure, that's pretty brutal.
