warrior9 Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) When will people realize you do NOT win football games / Super Bowls by paying running backs? This board is OBSESSED with RBs. No team who has won the Super Bowl in the last 15 years has paid a starting RB over 2.5M You don't win by paying an RB, these are world class athletes. You win by putting an OL on the field .. the RB is irrelevant. JT was GREAT his rookie year with the best OL in the NFL.. last year, they weren't as good and neither was he. As the OL goes, the RB goes. Edited September 12, 2023 by warrior9 3 1 4 1 1 Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Why get more weapons when we wont even use the ones we have? Cook played well. He looked exactly as I expect and want. Outran guys around the corner multiple times. 2 2 Quote
RobbRiddick Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 We don't need Taylor, we already have Hines, the guy he learned everything from. Huh? A jet what? Oh 3 Quote

Bangarang Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 At no point last night did I think our biggest problem was RB. To answer question, I think it’s a dumb idea. 3 1 3 1 Quote

While Hackett was smart enough to lean into it when he saw it working for them. Is that where we're really at? Hackett is a better OC than ours? Seems so after last night... 1 Quote
warrior9 Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Just now, FrenchConnection said: Because it's what we don't have. Neither did the Chiefs last year.. or the patriots in their dynasty, the eagles has 4 of them on rotation. You don't win by paying RBs.. again, no team in the last 15 years has won a SB by paying an RB... not a single one.

Josh needs a calming influence, and Mr Tablet Smasher is not that. 1 2 Quote

True , but you have to break tackles at some point ( see whites two arm tackles being broken leading to impressive chunk runs) , and cook is no THURMAN THOMAS,, lol,,,guy is pretty light in the pants and while he can get around pursuit, he is not snapping off big runs and there were times some larger gains were in front of him if he had more balance and power. Better than last year but still quick to be stopped short of first downs. Murray looked good . Lewis looked ok so far. Line cant always hold holes open for long. Quote

SCBills Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Coaching aside, we need a RT and a WR2. The discussion on Offense begins and ends there. 2 1 Quote

He has never been that player. It's actually really surprising seeing so many people upset about that this morning. He's a speed guy. He beats guys to the corner or to the hole. And he did that very well all last night. He will snap off big gains when we get him space like all the space Hall had to run through. 1 2 Quote
