Kirby Jackson Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Why does this thread keep starting? We all loved Shady. He’s done 1
T master Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 I'm not sure he would come back he was really looking forward to him & Gore working together & he was one that got on his soap box to bring Gore in then they let him walk which i think Shady with the better O line may have done better than Gore but we will never know !!

I don't think Shady left on bad terms, just a money deal. After Singeltary the cupboard is totally empty - Wade, DiMarco, Yeldon. I also think he would benefit from the upgraded line. He had a bunch of turnstile blockers when he was here. Have you noticed that KC drafted a RB in the first round?

whorlnut Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 OP...why? So we can let another washed up RB split time with our young emerging RB? Makes zero sense. Zero. Then we would be back in the same boat next year. We need to get another young RB to form a duo with Singletary that we can control for the next four years. If we don’t get one in the second it doesn’t mean we can’t get one later in a deep draft. Good grief...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 In addition to everything already stated why this is a bad idea, Shady also isn't a good compliment to him. I'd prefer seeing a Derrick Henry type of power back. 1
Bangarang Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) What’s Fred Jackson doing these days? Maybe even Spiller. Edited April 24, 2020 by Bangarang
Captain Caveman Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 I think Yeldon is a better back at this point in their careers. I also don't think McCoy would agree that he left on good terms.

foreboding Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 I love the guy, but he is not a good compliment to what we already have. We need a straight ahead bruiser.
jrober38 Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 I don't get the obsession with adding a running back in round 2 who will carry the ball 5-6 times a game.

We need a straight ahead bruiser. He didn't run straight ahead his last year in Buffalo because he always had somebody in his face in the backfield. Only had a 100 carries last year. So he didn't add a lot of mileage during his stint in KC. Probably get him dirt cheap too. There's not a lot of Derrick Henry's standing on the street corner. Edited April 24, 2020 by Irv
