the year jones drew led the league in rushing the jags were a bad team

5-11 and didn't trust their qb

instead of throwing when down by 14 in the 4th quarter they were handing off to MJ


stats don't always show the true story



after saying that, mccaffrey can change the game with 2 or 3 touches

- homiedclown


its possible mccaffrey is the chosen one who can win games from the RB position, but its unlikely. he's also in an unfair spot because now theyre rebuilding.

how much better can he be than last season? he had "game changing touches" and the panthers sucked ass

I looked at 7 different mocks today and 4 had us taking Perfetti and the other 3 had Stützle, Holtz and Lundell.

Need and High-end performer. What's not to love.

Stutzle at 7 would be a shocker.
I'm kinda meh on Perfetti at 7

Are there names attached to those who are replacing these superstars?
- Michael Pachla


replacement level doesn't mean any scrub off the street, it basically means a league average running back. so take your pick of those.

It just seems like a no brainer at this point.

You have 10 milion in cap space. You can snap your fingers and upgrade 1 position from average to star. Which do you choose?

Running back is so far down the list.

Nothing says game changing like 10 straight touches for 40 yards. I think it was field changing you were going for.

Where in the above talks about when already have a young star at running back?

Should you trade him, get some assets, and spend the extra money elsewhere?

Trying to get by, like everyone else. Think it's starting to take its toll on people. My wife and Daughter work at Tops and say people are getting pretty nasty. Like it's the worker's faults they are out of things.

Yeah I would lose it, it's all those morons buying everything that are the issue.

My order of preference.

Lafreniere , Byfield, Raymond, Stutzle, Rossi, Lindell, Holtz, Perfetti

Drysdale is an elite prospect but I would hope we go forward, besides I don’t see Drysdale slipping out of the top 5 but I could be wrong
