bigduke6 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) people seem to forget that for a RB to be successful, you need much more than just the RB. how often do you see top RBs switch teams and continue to be successful? hell, they rarely stay successful on their original team for an extended period of time anymore. there is a reason why RBs are valued so low now. you need 5 other guys to also help make that RB be good. Zeke was on fire his first few years for the Cowboys. helped that the they had one of the best OLines in the league at that point. injuries, guys moving on, suddenly Zeke cant RB anymore. the biggest problem with the NFL running game now is the majority of college teams dont use a power running game anymore, mostly spread offenses, which leads to a glut of OLinemen that cant block for that kind of run game. college has become a wide open passing fest cuz its easier to teach pass blocking quickly to young kids. Wiscy employs the power running game because its tradition, also a tradition of zero competent QB play. Taylor appears to be good, just how many NFL lines are built for what he can do though? im sure this is about money, it usually is, and im sure theres a team out there that is just desperate enough to make a move for him, will they have a line that can accommodate Taylor and continue to make him look good? highly unlikely. either way, must suck to be a Colts fan atm.

So.. if people here want to trade for him, what are you willing to give up and what are you willing to pay him.. and for how long? The Cover1 guy had an interesting take on this. Our "offer" is: come showcase in a top offense, no new deal, but something in writing we wont slap a franchise tag on him. Do i want this? Yes. Will it happen? Also no, but my gummy is kickin' in... check back in an hour 4 hours ago, Mr Wild said: Probably not the best way to handle this Jim Dude how mad are you if you're Ballard tonight! lol everything is fine waking up, then by afternoon Jim 'OxyContin30' Irsay kicks down your door with a ---hold muh beeer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephilim17 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) If the $16 million per year is true, then I take Irsay's side (including his ill-fitting suit — how can you have hundreds of millions of dollars and not get a suit that fits?). Taylor is high as a MF IF that's true. Maybe some desperate team might pay that but it won't be a contender. And for anyone who says "trade Cook for Taylor!" I say Cook is not Taylor but I'll take his production and $1.3, $1.6, and $1.9 million rookie cap hits over the next three years (including 2023) over Taylor's production and salary.

You don’t pay a running back in todays NFL, you just don’t. Go draft one and get 80%+ of the production at 1/12th the cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 The Bills have a ton of cap space to overpay an RB whose best days are probably behind him. Let's do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
