Not grabbing an edge last year, over paying RBs when they have UDFA’s playing well, relying on historically unreliable people to man certain positions. like..I still contend they ultimately do a better job than a good portion of Gms but man do they just make super stupid and weird calls sometimes. It actually made me laugh the other day when I was reading someone's mailbag (either Barrows or MM). Somebody asked if there was talk floating around the NFL that Lynch was easy to take advantage of and easy to be fleeced lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We very well may cut McK...or we just might prefer to have a back-up plan to the back-up. I understand not getting the Alexander move but THIS move I totally see the why and the logic. And they didn't overpay for once so I'm super pumped on that front. But if you're talking about the lack of activities in regards to safety, CB and WR thus far, I totally get it...off-season is still young tho Yea this Free agency is only a piece of the pie. I’d wait until the draft plays out before it’s worth complaining about the direction. But so far this offseason i’m pretty satisfied in Ford, Kwon, Coleman, Verrett, and the release of useless vets.

Free Agency is shoring up other areas for depth, pass rush, and LB corps. Bosa, CGJ, and Deebo. You're Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherm Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Meh. Don't really care too much about the offense signings. Kyle getting the most out of a healthy Jimmy G is gonna the reason this offense clicks. Not if we have McKinnon or Breida or now Coleman in the backfield.

I will say as somewhat of a counterpoint, id much rather have a GM willing to fire on free agents than someone trying to sit back and hit the most efficient contracts and decsisions and thus never acquiring a FA..didn’t work for Ted Thompson. And in the NFL it’s way easier to walk back an inefficient contract compared to literally every other sport. As cringey as some one of these pickups have been, it still feels way more proactive and positive than our past regimes sans scott mcglougan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Don't think we get rid of McKinnon. He's still the main receiving option out of the backfield. But yeah, gives us an option to do so if that is the direction we go in. So we will be carrying four RBs plus a FB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he was able to take care of his personal issues. Probably would be one of the top GMs if he would have been able to control his alcoholism (if memory serves me correctly).

It only makes it harder to gameplan against when there’s always a different threat. I’m fine with this move, at least it’s not Alfred Morris or Doug Martin McKinnon, Breida, Coleman, Mostert...one of them can't be active and it won't be Mostert.

y2lamanaki Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Guys, McKinnon is coming off a torn ACL, Breida was injured every other play, and Mostert has touched the ball 73 times in his career and has fumbled or broken a bone on an absurd 6.8% of them. This is a slight improvement where someone was always going to be added. But Coleman is good, cheap, and has had proven success in the system plus is the most proven player in the backfield. He's not even expensive enough to be prohibitive. I think this is a good improvement to the roster. And I think the team can fit all 4 on the team given that Mostert plays special teams. Just always keep the one that's injured that week on the inactive roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
