Elliott to New England (Rumor)

[transient]

It’ll be like a less roster efficient version of the Cam Newton years, an aging RB and a QB with a dead arm, only Mac Jones will take up an extra roster spot instead of combining them all in one.

They already have a good running back. I don't know why they would do this.

 

I don't either.

 

But New England is obviously no longer a QB-centric offense.   Running backs are more vital to the Pats than they are to us.   

[Solomon Grundy]

If anything, Zeke was very good in pass protection

[BullBuchanan]

The guy still had 12 TDs last year in a complimentary role. He's not a top 5 back anymore, but you could do far, far worse than him as a cheap #2.

[Rico]

Wonder if Belichick will make him ditch the nose ring.

[gobills404]

If this happens, I will officially be moving the Bills down to #4 in my highly respected AFC East power rankings.

[JerseyBills]

They lose Harris and get a lesser , same style RB

Good for them

I don't think he's better than their current top four running backs. 

He hasn't cracked 1,002 yards rushing since 2019.

I'd rather play Stevenson, Strong, Harris, or Montgomery over Zeke at this point, but maybe that's just me.

I mean it was 2021 but you’re in the ballpark of correct things.

I would rather see Tyreek Hill at a marina than sign Elliott

AFC contender? I guess all 16 AFC teams are contenders at this point. It’s like referring to an actor, show or book as “award eligible”. I’m going to start reffering to all coaches, FO personnel and players this way, i.e. MVP candidate Zach Wilson. It’ll be a hoot. 

 

Don’t know what Zeke has left in the tank at this point, but he still should be serviceable rotational back for NE or another team. 

We have a casino here in the Sacramento area that has billboards claiming ‘Voted the Best Casino’ but no details.  Nothing referencing a publication or website.  Nothing like ‘in Sacramento area’, just Voted Best.

That moment felt so good. Our 1st chance in the Allen era in prime time to show we were legit

Friendly reminder that the Patriots over/under win total this year is 7.5 and they are the worst team in the division.

 

They could sign any non-QB and that won’t change, much less a washed up backup RB.

 

That backup had more rushing yards last year than any primary Bills RB has had in 5 years.

[John from Riverside]

Is it just me or is Zeke kind of washed?

He ain’t done but he doesn’t have the pop or burst anymore 

 

he’s literally a solid 4 yards a whack and fall forward every time which is valuable … doesn’t fumble.. valuable 

 

just won’t hit even 40 yarders anymore

876 yards! Wow! Incredible! 

 

Here's a fun stat. Zeke averaged 3.8 yards per carry last year, which more than half a yard worse than Devin Singletary any year the past 4 years in a row.

[without a drought]

I think they just want to make sure they have enough rb's to close out some losses in a dignified way.

Who were the players, too lazy too look up the roster.  That was a FANTASTIC game, had too much red thanksgiving wife, wife still hates me.

Devin Singletary is an underrated back and on a team with good line and scheme he would be a weapon but unfortunately that is not the Texans.

22nd in the league, plus 12 TDs (tied for 4th among RBs, 5th among all players)---as you point out, a backup.

 

After 4 years of mediocrity, Singletary was dumped.

 

 

You're struggling to make a cogent point here.

Never heard of him,

 

So we shouldn't sign him apparently.
