How is he still on this team?

 

I know he's a vet, but that should have only given him a pass for the first few games.

Dude is getting worse and worse.  I dont know know 1 RB/FB in the whole league who is worse of a blocker than him.  He might as well just fall lay down and hope the defender falls over him blitzing rather than attempt to block.

His strength thats kept him in the league as a runner and pass catcher is no longer there.  Im not sure if hes had a run all season go over 1 yard.

Just like other areas on the team, we have had and still have many chances to upgrade weaknesses but refuse to. Reese should've been on the team already.

This one should be easy though.  Its not like your going to break the bank on a FB haha.  They are one of the cheapest positions to upgrade unlike OT, Safety, and DE which will cost you and pretty penny and may hurt the chance of resigning a core player like Turner or KK.  A new improved FB qould be chump change in addition to cutting him will open a little more cap

Lacking an All-Pro fullback is what cost us this game. Hell, simply being a FB in today's NFL is about enough to qualify as an All-Pro since most teams don't even use one.

Good grief, I know everyone is pissed and I know Tolbert is a shadow of his former self, but the fact that our FB is washed up is the least of our concerns right now.

Ron Rivera loves his veterans.

Doesn't matter if they have a damn thing left in the tank, he love'em.

CAP may not be the be-all and end-all of running backs and he hasn't proven anything yet in this league (mainly because he sits inactive every goddam weekend), but I don't see how in the world he could be any worse for this team than Tolbert.

Tolbert is a nice guy but as a football player he is complete trash. He whiffs on blocks every week and he is no longer a punishing runner or agile receiver. He no longer serves a purpose and good coaches understand that once a player can no longer help you win it is time to cut bait regardless of him being a vet or nice guy.
