The 3 COMBINED are on pace for a total of

1037 rushing yards. The most highly invested and paid backfield in NFL history.....Hurney fugging magic indeed.

Oh CRA, how I hate you so...

For what.....

Oh, bc it is yet another thing I went on and on and on about.....and I look to be right?

Kinda like we should draft Luke bc he is a stud and Beason wouldn't likely be healthy? D sure looks good enough to win some games with rookie Luke in the middle if you ask me.

What do you do with 2RBS? You run the hell out of them with fresh legs. Sub them in and out. Remember when we had 2 1,000 yard rushers? (Hard to read but I took that in 2009)

What do you do with 3RBS? You use one as a badass FB.

What do you do with 3RBS and the best running QB in the league? You run the freaking wishbone or I formation or some damn thing once in a while. get these guys on the field. It's a bunch of talent.

Figure it out Chud

So this could work but we are running so many shotgun plays. We need play action and misdirection out of under center formations to utilize this backfield.

Well, nothing suggests our coaching regime wants anything to do with that....never has.

That is the problem.....Hurney wants X and coaches want Y = fail. Doesn't matter which side you take....it is a front office failure. Not a Cam issue, DeAngelo issue, Steve Smith or Jordan Gross one.....offensive players basically overall are put in a position to fail. They have proven they aren't going to overcome that.....

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
