Adding a RB

[Stokes84]

Now that McCaffrey is off the market, I think it’s time to get serious about adding a RB.  A lot of people think it’s about replacing or upgrading Singletary, but to me, it’s about making sure we have the horses to win a game like we lost vs. New England last year. If we lose in the playoffs because the wind is gusting 50 mph in January and we can’t pass the ball, we are going to be kicking ourselves for not bolstering this position.  
 

A couple of options that might be worth exploring:

 

Antonio Gibson

David Montgomery

James Robinson

 

I think each could be available for a mid-round pick, and imo it would be totally worth it.

[Jauronimo]

A couple of options worth exploring are:

 

1.  improving interior offensive line

2. improving interior offensive line

3. improving interior offensive line

4. improving right tackle

5. improving interior offensive line

What is the obsession with adding RBs when Singletary is playing perfectly fine?  Is this like a Fred Jackson thing?  Every year there is someone they are trying to replace him with?

And if you run Singletary into the ground you are still screwed, because he’s the only competent RB on the roster.

It’s like you didn’t read my post at all.

Actually we COULD pass the ball, they just didn't try it until the second half.  IF they would have done it all game, they win that game.

Motor is a damn good back. 

Let's get Cook some more touches and see whats there, and mayyyybe give Duke a shot?

🤷‍♂️ you’re not getting to 50+ pages with those options

I kind of feel bad for Singletary. He plays his heart out for the team and actually does pretty dang good and there is just this constant talk about him being the weak link and replacing him.

 

Depth is one thing but just constantly trying to replace him right after he gets 5 yards a carry in the most important game of the regular season, just feels bad.

We won’t be losing in 50 mph to wind now.  We already made the proper additions….on defense.  No one will score on us in that kind of weather

Same.  He’s sufficient.  If we want to bolster the run game, improve the OL

If Singletary had to miss some games who would be comfortable with Cook and Moss?

It’s a forest through the trees thing on TSW, when it comes to RBs, especially Singletary,

I'm with Jauronomo

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

Still have Moss, Cook, Duke.

 

Each would cost a lot less than McCaffrey.  Can throw in Akers too, even if his stats have been traditionally pretty terrible. 

 

• Gibson - Fast which is a plus.  The minus is his YPC has gone down every year since his rookie year and he got benched for a rookie the first chance they got.  Something amiss here.
• Montgomery - Sure handed, sort of boring.  Ran a 4.63 so... are we just trading for a Zack Moss who gets more touches?
• Robinson - Also a 4.6+ guy.  Sure handed.  I'm not sure he's on the block though.   The jag's arent out of the division race by any means, hell there the only team in that division that has scored more points than they've given up.  Had the Achilles injury a year ago so he's probably a good fit for a timeshare.    
• Akers - Meh, guy doesn't really pop to me.  2.6 yards per carry last year in the playoffs? Yuck.

I would be.

I’ve gotta say, you guys suck at reading.

I’d be fine with it, we don’t even know what cook can do and Moss would actually probably be better if he got 20 carries in a game. People act like these guys are just incapable of production or need to be out of the league they’re so bad.

I was thinking maybe Josh Jacobs from the Raiders if he could be had for maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder

Our RB stable is going to be our RB stable for the year, unless injuries happen and they call up Duke Johnson.

Moss is bad, Cook is an unknown. I'm all for seeing what cook has but I'm about done with Moss

To be fair, while the question of whether other RB options are worth trading for is valid, the conclusion you draw in your opening statement leaves a lot to be desired.  Just because McCaffrey is now off the market, does not mean that other RB options out there are now worth it for us.

He barely gets double digit carries per game. Hes hardly being run into the ground.  This is a pass first offense with a pass first offensive line.
