We Are Not Going To Draft A Running Back In The First Round


Carolina28

Recommended Posts

Love hearing from all the fortune tellers who just know what Gettleman is going to do. What is he, your Dad? Or are you actually Gettleman? Who the hell knows what he's going to do. All I know is that we need to improve our offense. Their are no OT's Worth drafting at 8. Very few offensive players Worth drafting at 8. The early part of the draft is defensive heavy. I am just going to support and welcome whatever players we take and be happy that we have a chance to significantly improve our team on the offensive or defensive sides of the ball with the highest pick since we took Cam in 2011 #1.

Gettleman would never say that. Like a smart GM, he keeps his mind open, assesses the situation, then makes up his mind from there, realizing that things can change  literally anytime before he is on the clock. 

That's the bottom line, and that's what makes the OP bull crap.

I would love Fournette at RB, a game breaking RB would be nice

I have never understood the hype here on J Stew, I have always seen him as an avg. back at best, the past 5 years anyways. He hasn't been the same back since 2011

Stew is a bruiser. But def not elite. And he's fragile. He's fun to watch when he runs so violently, but that style leads to injuries, which saps your speed and quickness. Behind our line, that's gonna lead to a very low YPC. 

Those stats are eye-poppingly average.

I'm down for Leonard.

    • With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling. 
    • i'm not nearly 100%, but i'm trending that way. He's definitely got me around 75%.
