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.

    • This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.
    • As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.
    • I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
