I see his point. The premise is WORKHORSE BACKS. To me that means teams where the carry split isn't close to even. The five guys he names are THE bellcows for their offense right now.

I see where you are coming from, but I think LT is going to share a lot of plays with Sproles.

Yea I don't see a problem with it, It's about the top 5 backs who will be the sole main rusher on there team. Most teams have 1,2 or 3 backs that split carries. I mean Dwill only had 270 carries last year, not exactly a workhorse back that has 330 carries or more. Dwill will still get about 270 - 280 carries while Stewart will get about 200 carries.

That may be right, and LdT is the main reason why I stated "right now" in my original post, but I don't believe that Sproles is their future as a feature back like LdT was for them for so many years.

Don't really get how you can leave Deangelo out of the top 5 when he rushed for more yards than guys that DIDN'T split carries. Imagine how many yards he could have had if he had every carry. He probably finishes right up there with 1700+ along with AP. That said...I would rather have him with fresh legs the whole season and rush for 1500 every season.

Rushing Yards: 3rd

Rushing TDs: 1st

Yds/Game: 3rd

Fumbles: 1st (Amongst top 10 RBs)

YPC: 1st (Amongst the top 42 RBs. Of the top 43 RBs in total yards 42 RBs averaged less YPC than Deangelo)

Runs for 20+ yards: 2nd

Runs for 40+ yards: 1st

That is pretty much every major category that you look at while defining a RBs production. Deangelo is no worse than 3rd in any and in a lot is 1st. People who don't think he's a top 5 RB are ignorant of the game.

    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
