Old Guy Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 1 hour ago, vegas492 said: Man, I want to see Jones here in a job share role with either Barkley or Henry...then with a young draft pick as RB3. This offense is so much better when we have a good RB back there. I can't imagine how create MLF could be with Jones and Barkley together on the field with Kraft and Musgrave. How about just this instead of investing that kind of money in the RB position. 100% down with the Jones part though.

I want guys you can move around more. Being able to flex guys between the backfield and slot puts pressure on a defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Either I've coincidentally just saw Barkley's least impressive games/reps or he's wildly overrated. The next impressive play I see from him will be the first. Honestly PITs backup RB looks better to me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his first season and before he had the nagging injuries the guy was incredible. But I watched a few games this year with him, and he just doesn't seem to have the same juice. His name will garner a big paycheck, so I am not on that bandwagon for this team. I wouldn't go as far as saying the PIT backup is better though.

I don't expect him to finish out a 3 or 4 year deal. Barkley I just think is going to have a higher number than I'm willing to invest at RB, especially with Jones there. I'm more in the mindset of draft 2 RB in rounds 2-4. Only reason I'd want Henry or Barkley (and if Henry, for sure a one year deal), is because we aren't paying much to our offense right now. There is room to pay a guy like Barkley for 3 years, or two years. And I just love Barkley's skillset. MLF could split him or Jones out wide and use them together. But yah, while I want a guy like Barkley...and to a lesser extent, Henry, I do feel like we will draft some RB's and see how that shakes out. But a guy can dream.

No issues if we bypass a high cost FA RB and use the draft instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do adore Barkley's full skillset. To me, he's overrated because that offense is a dumpster fire of ineptitude. And he's the focal point. I think he'd be great over here in this offense.

Barkley's played behind one of the worst Oline's in the league the past few seasons. He's still a stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure there is THAT much more meat on the bone for the run game than what Jones provides in the past few games. OL has really gelled 2nd half of the season. RB behind the line is much less important than the blocking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind a decent OL and good scheme i think he'd be the consensus best back in the league along with CMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that's what I was getting at. He is their offense and it's a dumpster fire. So he gets the blame. The guy has immense, elite talent. I'd love to see it here with our offensive scheme. He wouldn't even need to be the focal point, just one of the pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one is good (RB), why not two? I know we'd be paying a lot of cap dollars to the RB room, but if there was ever a time to do it, the next 2-3 years is that time.

CMC is just so unique in his pass catching ability above Barkley that I think he unlocked more in SF than he would have most places. Barkley can catch the ball, no question. But more of a make yards after the catch guy than a "get open" guy like CMC. I like barkley but I don't see a way to fit him in GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard for anyone to shine on that team. I look at that roster and don't understand how they win any games. But they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
