4merper4mer Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'd like to say I agree but the concussions are a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'd like to say I agree but the concussions are a concern. His upright and straight ahead running style isn't exactly conducive to NFL longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 As long as he's healthy then don't be surprised if he puts up 700-800 yards on the ground and 10 TD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 He keeps running upright and he'll be back on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I like how smooth he is in the passing game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Love him but I don't see him having a long career. Height is not a good quality as a rb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Guys, I'm probably having a senior moment, but he only had one injury right with the 3 week concussion. I know it was bad, but for the life of me, I can't remember a second injury. They will keep running by committee so very possible he has a great year. There are others who ran straight up like Dickerson. I like him as well in the pass as he is past the big boys, and has the speed, hands, and muscle to make the DB's afraid to tackle him. I hope he does have that breakout year. My guess is we don't have shady for 2-4 games so he'll be used a lot in the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also out in training camp with a "lower body injury" to borrow a hockey term and had shoulder issues too IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snamsnoops Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 He is still relatively young for the RB position. He was a Safety converted to RB his last 2 years of college? So maybe working with NFL professional coaching he learns how to run as an NFL player and how to protect his body\head better. I like the kid he is quick! He does remind me of dickerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Eric Dickerson did alright. He did, but come on man! Karlos is a nice back, but ED was an all time great with electrifying speed and rare talent. Karlos still takes false steps with his change of direction. Hopefully he'll learn to make quicker cuts.

I'm not as wrapped up in his injuries as everyone else though. I will need to see another season before deciding it's a trend. The training camp thing was a freak injury from the weight room. I don't think he got hurt more than the average RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 He did, but come on man! Karlos is a nice back, but ED was an all time great with electrifying speed and rare talent. Karlos still takes false steps with his change of direction. Hopefully he'll learn to make quicker cuts. He is young to the position and to the NFL. Karlos can be a smooth as silk at times though. I have high hopes for him as a Bill and as a healthy NFL player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
