Duke Johnson is amazing.

Yeah, I had the same thought. Really surprised he isn’t signed with someone right now. Especially with the Ravens and 49ers injury issues.

Hes not been a great runner out of the backfield so I guess that’s why, but he really is a poor mans James White which is certainly worth having.

Then why isn’t he on a team. Not saying he is garbage but he has been to a couple team tryouts and not signed.

Just mentioned on another comment that he’s never been that great of a runner out of the backfield. He’s really a WR but with a RBs body. He’s fast but he’s not a burner and he’s never been good as a traditional RB. But I view him as a poor mans James White and a reliable check down for Darnold on 3rd and long. 
 

He’s not an elite RB but he’s damn good catching balls and can make something happen in space. I will feel MUCH better with someone like him because Hubbard just isn’t comfortable catching passes at this point.

Do you think Hubbard is big enough to be 1,2 down back?

Depth.....

If Bouye is depth, what FA can come in and is a starter?? I think Bouye is the answer while Taylor is developing.

I guess we are about to find out. He hit his stride later in the game last night and was a damn good runner in college. I don’t know if he’s a 1,2 down back but I trust him more in that role than I do trusting him as an outlet for Darnold on 3rd and 8

All he has to do is get first downs and keep the chains moving.  We don't need him to break off 80 yard runs.  He also has to be able to block linebackers.  If he can do that well I say bring his ass on board.

Averages 5 yards a carry. Nearly 5k career all-purpose yards and 20 TDs.

I've never been able to understand why he's not been used more in the NFL. I don't think we'll sign him, because life isn't that fair, but I think he's a brilliant player.

Bouye isn’t a starting outside corner anymore. We need to bring someone in or this defense will suffer some

Starting corners are not unemployed or on practice squads

Why has Adam Gase been the Head Coach of two different NFL franchises?

He got dumped by the Jaguars in about two weeks. I would not expect much if Carolina does sign him.
