Too many miles, too much wear and tear and getting old in RB years.  Not too mention the money he would require.  The days of the 'bell cow' RB are over.  Sure, it's still around, but rarer as time goes on. Plus, plenty of FAs and a deep draft this year at RB.

Hard pass.

Yeah. Henry is the RB version of a rental car thrown into reverse at 50mph just to see what happens.

If we draft a rookie QB he makes perfect sense for us. This dude is still a game changer if he has a legit QB to take pressure off him.

 

I think a contender goes after him but I wouldn't be mad if he came here.

Sorry, but those statements are contradictory.  I agree with the second part, but that doesn't mesh with the first.  Usually you need a solid running to take pressure off a rookie QB.  Henry still has it, no doubt, but he's high priced and high mileage, neither of which I'm down with.

We just got rid of one very expensive RB.  Probably not in a hurry to sign another one.  Production from the RB position can be had so cheaply, in so many ways today that I dont see why any team would hand out a huge contract to one.

I wouldn't be in favor of it, but you never know.

I’d rather we wait and see what the Colts may do with Jonathan Taylor. An article a few weeks back (no link) expects them to try and trade him. He’d be worth a 3rd rounder at best and would add another strong runner to complement Hubbard if it happened. JMO

I don't think we should pursue him. Im just saying he would make sense especially with a rookie QB.

Plus he's not really a part of the receiving game, though it has happened in spurts. With the multifaceted RBs coming out of college, being able to be part of the passing game is essential for these older backs. It's one reason I'm not a huge fan of Chuba. Dude has hands of stone.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By rayzor · Posted

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.

      He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.
