Skinsin2013 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) I think it's time to moving on from AP. What a great run... but there are a lot of YOUNGER UFA RB options --- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/running-back/ Love and Guice should be 100%. How long they stay 100% remains to be seen. So we need a vet. Who ya got? Edited January 19, 2020 by Skinsin2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 We’ve got cap. AP isn’t expensive and has performed well enough. I’m good with Guice, AP, Love, FA next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTMONK HOF Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 If you’re looking for a RB in free agency, to me the best one available is Melvin Gordon but I would imagine he wouldn’t come cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus21 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 AP, Guice, Love. I was unaware there was any other debate? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripsean21 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I like Dobbins. He’s gonna be a beast. But I think next year we address RB if these guys just don’t pan out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTMONK HOF Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 IF Guice and Love can stay heathy that’s a good start at RB. Guice showed what he can do when healthy. We still don’t know what Love will provide but I’m anxious to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e16bball Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I’m not sure why we’d pay a veteran RB that isn’t Peterson. Don’t get me wrong, I really hope Peterson only gets about 100 touches this upcoming season — because Guice takes control as the unquestioned lead back — but who are we thinking is going to be better than Peterson for a one-year, $3M commitment? I’d take a late (5th or 6th round) flyer on somebody, which honestly I’d do pretty much every season, and leave it at that. If I had to give an answer, I’d probably say Matt Breida, if SF lets him walk because he’s fallen behind Coleman and Mostert in the pecking order. He’s still pretty young and he always pops with some explosiveness and big play ability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I really like Guice a lot and I think he has elite back ability but Love is a homerun hitter. I think he takes over as the starter by about week 5 with Guice and AP sharing some carries. Love is going to be electric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) AP is not a good fit for Turner's offense IMO. I'd sign Kareem Hunt (he's a RFA) if the Browns put a low round tender on him. EDIT: I have no faith Guice and Love can stay healthy for a full 16 games.

I mean...he was 1st team All-Pro for Scott’s dad a few seasons ago. We had a lot of success with Stephen Davis when Norv was here, and I think he was a pretty AP-ish back. If you think Scott’s offense will be fundamentally different from his dad’s, then all bets are off. And I’d be curious to know how you think it will differ — seems like that would be tough to speculate on though, just based on the fact that basically all of Scott’s NFL experience has come under his dad.

Granted, he had McCaffery, so that is likely the main reason, but Scott's offense in the 4 games he called plays last year was heavily reliant on a back who had the ability to go in motion and line up at receiver. I'm sure he could make it work with AP, but I think his offense would be limited compared to what he would ideally want to do if we don't get a true do-it-all RB like Hunt (or Guice/Love if they somehow stay healthy all season).

MKnight82 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Cut Peterson, start Guice. Love is the #2. Edited January 20, 2020 by MKnight82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTMONK HOF Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I really hope they give Smallwood a shot. Really hasn’t had a chance to really play much. His career stats range from 3.7-4.1/yds per carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
