Happy for Chuba and he earned the money for sure. 

Not pumped about going from big RB contract to big RB contract and absolutely FLABBERGASTED that we spent a 2nd round pick on Brooks now. That was utterly moronic.

If you want a capable 2nd string RB, get them in the 3rd-5th round. You know.....like Chuba.

I get that concern - but I think that concern about a 2nd on Brooks is the same if we pay Chuba this or not. I think Brooks is a long term future investment. Chuba is for now and the next few years. Ideally Brooks is worked back slowly and by having both you limit wear and tear. It's also a matter of value - if Brooks was far and away their highest rated player on their board, it makes sense to take him.

The way we use RBs I'm very excited to see Brooks in the offense at full speed, but if he's what a lot of us hope, we'll want to make sure we don't run him into the ground in the longer term, too.

I want Brooks to make me excited.

This was a breakout season for Chuba, you never know what will happen with a new coaching staff. They didn’t know at the time of the draft, so they drafted another RB high. But that shouldn’t prevent them from adapting and feeling like Chuba is worth investing in now that they’ve seen what he can do. It gives us a potentially very strong 1-2 punch. Letting old decisions dictate what you do moving forward is not a successful way to manage a team, or manage anything for that matter. The argument that “now that we know we shouldn’t have drafted Brooks” is pretty ridiculous as we didn’t know at the time

      Team is dangerous right now, all four lines are contributing and the speed at which the guys play at is tremendous.

      And every nfl player wannabe tries to up their draft position through things like the combine and theyre all basically lying though those drills theyve practiced hundreds of times that have little bearing on if theyre a good football player. The pro days are even worse. All you have to do is dupe 1 team. Is it right? No. But until teams put more emphasis on college tape vs. What they did in shorts with no defense it'll happen every year. I doubt there is a single player that wouldn't try anything to up their draft prospects.  Young had years of tape and that shouldve been what the decision was based on. Not a scale and throwing in shorts.  ( btw I think the combine and pro days are 90% a waste of time) Young has it financially made already. It's up to him if he wants to be a good football player too. I think the benching was the best thing that could've happened to him. It remains to be seen if it was enough

      This.  Honest introspection on his behalf would have seen that size and strength were his biggest weaknesses. He looks no different. With the programs in the NFL, he could have come back to camp 10 lbs of muscle heavier. Easily. If had done so, it would have been reported on. It would have been the hottest story…. But we never saw anything of the sort, so it probably never happened.  He showed improvement this last game, likely from Andy’s tutelage. He has to show something VERY special to close the season out to change my thinking on him… like 4 game winning streak with a clutch 4th quarter comeback. Then maybe.
