Definitely not cut him. My recommendation would be to look for an upgrade at RB. Whether that be a trade, draft pick or free agent. Our line is not good at run blocking - no argument there. But the inability of Singletary to see the field, combined with his ball security issues, necessitates an upgrade. You’re confusing “almost lost the ball to the opponent” with “almost fumbled”. Fumbling is simply losing the ball. That doesn’t mean it touched the ground or was recovered by the opponent. .

“You would be right about him ALMOST fumbling, if he ACTUALLY fumbled” Quite the argument you have there.

The ball was completely out out of his hands. How much closer can a player be to fumbling without actually fumbling? Yes I defend thoughts I am right about.

Well deserved. And that’s All Pro Pro to you.

Whether a teammate bails you out and recovers the fumble is irrelevant to whether you actually fumbled or not. Singletary absolutely shares blame with Dawkins on that play. It’s not a shortened clip. It’s an angle from behind the QB.

Yes I made that account 5 years ago for this exact moment.

I actually started a thread titled “I’m so proud of this team”, but it was merged into another thread that had nothing to do with my thread.

It's not "for the purpose of being negative". Do you think I scout the internet to find negatives? I do not. The purpose of this thread is a discussion about how we need a better RB. And one piece of evidence is Singletary's difficulties with hanging onto the ball. It is certainly not his only issue, but it is one of them.

He does. Singletary fumbles approximately 1.5% of his carries over his career The average fumble rate in the NFL from 2013-2018 (closest date I could find) is 0.87% So about half of Singletary's fumble rate. The league, on average, fumbles about half as often as Singletary does.

It does matter because you won’t always be so lucky. People often ignore issues because of a win, until they resurface in a loss. Like our inefficiency in short yardage situations. I created a thread about it after the first 2 wins and people said “we won!” Well, yeah. But then we didn’t. And not being able to convert short yardage was part of the problem.

Never saw this angle before. Watch how close Singletary to blowing the game here. Time for a RB upgrade!

A case could be made for them being fraudulent. They gave up 500 yards and only scored 23 points against a team that saw 10 starters miss time during the game. They also beat the Ravens due to key secondary injuries that resulted in blown coverages.

I guess my “bar” for Allen is just so high right now that it looks pretty routine to me. He still has throws every game that make my jaw drop, but the one in the OP isn’t one of them anymore.

I’m not sure i’d really say that was an insane throw. A lot of NFL QB’s can make that throw. But Josh has some throws that I think only he makes. The first one in this video is bonkers: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a8OwaLppkEE

Uh what about him? That is as open as you can ever expect to get in the NFL. If you’re worried about that safety then you don’t realize the tight windows that NFL quarterbacks throw into on nearly every pass.

Stick around. I’ll say much stupider stuff.

Saw this on social media. $5 tickets. 7 pre-season games. 2pm games.

A new running back would hopefully see cutback lanes that Singletary is oblivious to.

A lot of people seem to think so.

Yeah I mean whether or not he is lacking explosiveness, he is getting open. The guy is just dropping everything.

I dunno. Some of these drops were well after he stopped.

Wow that would have been a huge play if Josh saw him.

Gabe has had no troubling getting open from what i’ve seen. His trouble has been catching the ball. Are his ankles connected to his hands somehow?

It's both. He falls for the play action but he also has the physical gifts to make up for it. The story of his career, really.
