Everyone should have seen the disaster around Bryce coming

[Coheed]

Really not understanding the Sanders hype, especially after that Nebraska game. Dude threw a pick 6 untouched, left the game early and then threw his OL under the bus in the press conference, like ?????

did Colorodos line play well? No, but the dude is red flag galore.

I just don't see that. With the likes of CMC, Barkley and perhaps a few others---and even looking historically at many guys like LT and Sweetness, a prolific three-down RB is important. If a franchise can't maximize those types of skills and parlay that into a chip, that's a team problem. And, yes, I think that Brooks has that type of upside.

RB is one of the least valuable positions in the modern era NFL. The market and draft basically shows that year in and year out. The track record for mega-contracts over the last 10 years is horrifying. Same with first round RB's.

It's not fans saying that, it's most of the 32 franchises in the NFL and their actions.

That press conference was rough. He gets away with it now since his dad is the coach but wait until he throws pros under the bus…

He’ll lose a locker room right away

Crazy that after trading CMC they immediately go and pay Miles and then use a 2nd on Brooks

This organization is just so damn stupid

I couldn't believe we did that. Either move. Just completely insane.

More college hype. That's how we got Young. It's just easier to see when it's an attitude problem that stands out like that.

And yet teams still draft RBs fairly highly all the time. It just depends on the player. If Brooks hadn't torn his ACL, he was likely going to be drafted in the first round as opposed to the second. 

Teams are reluctant to pay for RBs  because they get hurt a lot, not because they don't have inherent  value. Sure, the modern NFL puts passing at a premium, but versatile three-down backs are still valued. Sure, mobile and running QBs can take some of the pressure off of the need for star backs, but then the risk to the QB is magnified exponentially, even having possible career-ending implications, so I think that shrewd FOs realize the importance of having legit three-down backs.

Tepper should have fired anyone and everyone associated with last season, even the damn janitors.  He didn't and we all see the results.

Yep ahah.  And now CMC is ironman all the sudden when he gets on a competitive team.  Burns is the only one that should have been traded.

CMC was banged up for the 49ers 1st game this year, he held himself out of practice the day before I think they said. He is a stud but he does get dinged up often.

I agree about Burns but then Tepper has to fire Rhule after year 2 or it wouldn't matter anyways with how that crew used him.

We never knew how good we had it with JR.  Hell, I even miss Hurney at this point.  Thats sad.

Meh JR had his positives but he also was a tightwad that made his team practice in a hotel ballroom in the playoffs.

Tepper makes most owners of professional sports look good. He is in Snyder zone without the non-football issues which is amazing really. 

I'm not missing JR, I'm missing the owner we never had yet.

I think the Lions would disagree with you on that. They won their game in OT last night with Montgomery running out of his mind. That was a hell of a game. But I do agree in principle that the RB position has become devalued in recent years. But the position itself is crucial to success and having a Montgomery on your team at a cheap contract cannot be underestimated.
