Why are we wasting money on RBs? Not even 2 years and we overpaid for 2 RBs!

My thoughts are that with Saquan and Derrick Henry owning the highlight reels, there’s going to be a shift in RB pay. Maybe they are being proactive there. He is also the epitome of a ‘dawg’ 

Those guys been highlight reels for years.

 

Now that they on good rosters they are now considered valuable.

 

Just look at Tennessee and NY last season. At the bottom of the league because they had no talent around them.

 

I played RB in highschool. I know the position I actually lived it. We are nothing without our Oline. No holes no factor.

 

It's just the truth.

No, no, no!

Detroit has a elite roster. That's not gonna work with this roster. Chubba is a top 3 back yet we are still one of the worst teams in football.

 

2RB system works when you have a talented roster. We just don't have that and it's not gonna result in wins.

No single player or position makes a team go from bad to good other than QB. By your logic we shouldn’t resign anyone.

With all due respect I don't think any team was going to pay Chubba big money. He wasn't helping us win games. We are the only team dumb enough to overpay a RB aka Miles Sanders. 

 

Even the elite RBs had trouble getting paid. Nobody wanted Saquan besides the Eagles and Henry could only get Baltimore interested in him. The position is valuable when you have a roster around them.

 

Henry was a non factor in Tennessee because he didn't have the roster. Same for Saquan.

 

This is coming from a guy who was a RB in highschool lol. Bro we just run. Our success depends on how the Oline blocks. Without them we are useless literally!

 

#MindOfAnEliteRB

I would argue that Chubba has won us games. He scored to 2 TDs last week, and the game winning TD on a 16 yd run. We have seen a good RB and a bad RB in the same game with the same line (Chubba vs Sanders). Chubba's 5 yard runs are so vital to Bryce to make 2nd and 3rd down manageable, Canales for some refuses to give him more touches. A struggling QBs best friend is a good run game. 

CMC, Saquan, Henry are all thriving because they are around a talented team for sure. Our talent is nowhere near that, but I do believe that at least our O-line is good enough for a good RB. At the end of the day, everyone has an opinion.

The guy who actually played RB is getting told the position is valuable.

 

When in fact RB is probably the least important position on offense. If the Oline doesn't block the back doesn't gain yards.

If the Oline blocks you get a top 3 RB aka Chubba.

 

Ask the Eagles how they made a bad RB look all pro in Miles Sanders.

 

You guys better listen to me on this particular subject. Nobody knows RB more than me. The position relies on others success. Anyone can run with a ball. Just open up some running lanes and I will get it done.

 

Don't pay us big money we not that important unless the team is loaded.

XL, Coker, Brooks, and Sanders are all going to be on cheap deals next two years.  The whole oline is back next year minus Brady. This contract isn’t going to kill us.  Attack defense in the draft and build this thing out.

So Miles looks just as good as Chuba this year? Same OL…

QB, Olineman, WRs, TEs, RBs get the scraps.

 

From important to least important that's how the offense works. Don't overpay your elite RB who has a elite Oline who blocks for him. The moment that Oline stinks you will get a bad RB.

      I swear there are like 6 people on this godforsaken website that must be paid just to piss and moan all day in these stupid ass threads, for years on end, about fugging everything. Always something to whine about. If y'all aren't getting paid to professionally bitch about this team at every opportunity you need to reevaluate your lives because that ish is pathetic for grown ass men to be doing.  There are at least 50 other voices of reason in here. They're all smarter than you kneejerking perpetual contrarians. It's a fine contract. Our previous dipstick GM ran this team like some college kid that read a few Investopedia articles on technical trading and started throwing daddy's money at every positive indicator he saw - look what happened when Fitt drafted by RAS because he couldn't identify talent if it was footballs deep in his wife in the war room. It's a football team and this preoccupation with analytics, in this instance the positional value of RBs, is like 30% of the equation. It's not wholly inaccurate, but it requires a lot of context and, going back to the trading analogy, an understanding of the fundamentals. This is a sad, crappy organization that needs some winning attitudes in the locker room and on the field. $15 mil guaranteed over two years is nothing compared to the intangible value he brings, and the message the contract sends, not to mention his stellar work ethic and consistent improvement.

      It boils down to either you believe in Chuba or you don't. For myself I 100% believe in him that he's a hard worker and a leader we want in the locker room. The issue is this investment paired with all the money we have tied up in the oline now (150 million in a single offseason) and Center is still a position of need going forward. Then there is the matter of the defense. Other than Derrick Brown and Jaycee Horn and maybe Wallace who has promise it's basically a wasteland. That cannot be understated. Dan Morgan is walking a tightrope here. Unequivocally he cannot play games with this QB room next season. Leave no stone unturned creating a real competition and actually have a real fallback plan.

      Bryce is still the future

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      To end all questions, I think we should start him rest of season as long as he does not hinder the young WR's and TE's development. In other words as long as he does not go back to super awful possibly worst QB ever plays scared and afraid Bruce that we saw most of his career so far then let him keep playing this season and make a decision on what to do with him in the off season. If he grows great , if he stays the exact same as he is now with no more development then ship him out. If he goes back to classic Bryce then sit him again and at seasons end ship him out. If by some snow balls chance in hell he actually develops and looks good by seasons end then hang onto him. Simple as that really. He controls his own destiny on what happens to his career here is my opinion.
