He was nicked up in 2017, otherwise I think he'd be a lock for the top 10. I really like Penny. Been watching a lot of him after someone said he reminds them of Thomas Jones. Pretty accurate. He's fun to watch, not sure his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raiderrocker18 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 the only RB i'd take in the top 10 is barkley, and he's not falling. we have way too many positions where our current starters are inadequate to instead try to fill a spot where we can keep lynch as an effective option assuming fitzpatrick doesn't fall, i'm pretty sold on roquan smith being what this team needs. other than that, i'd be happy going with a corner like josh jackson or taking another buckeye in ward. daron payne is a good prospect and played well in the championship game too (big reason why chubb was a non factor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to get younger and get rid of distractions from the locker room. Lynch was a sideshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More the camera crew. The Peter's incident and the Talib visual also come to mind. He shouldn't be criticized for his celebrity or loyalty to his people. It's part of the deal the team signed up for when they offered the contract. But that doens't mean that it didn't wear thin after a time. We don't know for sure because we weren't in the locker room. My feeling is though that the protest was as irrelevant as JDR said it was. My $.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My $.02. agreed, though i doubt chucky would allow him to screw around during practices the way JDR did. gruden is not the type to give preferential treatment. if they sit down and lynch understands how practice is going to have to be, i dont see why he should be cut loose. we aren't in a position of luxury where we can let solid starters walk. our roster is thin enough as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that he has brought distractions to the locker room (as per NTLs post) and the production is not so good that they are worth enduring.

NightTrainLane Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 So question everyone... Would you rather have Lynch and the twins another year or A FA like Crowell, Hyde or Darkwa and a draft pick like Freeman, Penny or Chubb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Raider Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Totally agree. I’m okay with moving on from Richard. Washington isn’t quite as explosive but is more consistent and fumbles less. We will see who Chucky likes better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing around when blowing out an opponent. Coming to the defense of a Chiefs player, etc. He's an aging RB, due a lot of money in 2018 and rumblings of him disrupting the leadership in the locker room. His presence didn't help the offense as a whole. You could argue adjusting it for his preference hurt it in other areas. At least with Murray you knew what you were getting and he fit the personalities in the locker room. Trust me... you put a 'celebrity' status in a locker room of young players and it throws the ecosystem off. There isn't a veteran leader in that room and the coaches refused to hold him accountable for any of his antics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
