We'd only have three active games running backs anyway. Now it's just going to be Morris, Breida and Mostert rather than McKinnon, etc. Best hope is maybe that Breida continues to progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the last game before he got fired. I'm pretty sure he said, verbatim "I guess I should have valued the QB position higher". Gooooood god i'm happy we're past that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John232 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I would have taken Thomas last year over Fournette. RB's that have 0 receiver skills are way over valued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fine. Some of that could have been the team though. He faced a number of loaded boxes. He's probably not a top seven running back to me yet, so a top three pick would have been a lot to give up for him. Given that there were arguably three better running backs in his own draft class ( the asterisk being cook) I'd have much preferred shooting on the upside of Thomas at the more important position. Want to see more of fournette before I change my mind on that. Plus there is the question on whether he's the ideal for on what shanny wanted. Obviously a receiver skill set was Paramount to what shanny wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, unless he struggles coming back from the injury, probably not a reason to let him go next year. Only counts 4.5 against the cap I think and only save 3 mil BBY letting him go. May as well keep him another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also jumps back up to 7 million in his last year, so don't even want to get close to that. Waste of money this year. Oh well. not a huge deal, didn't make or break anything..

DirtyJersey9er Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 So with Harbaugh on the hot seat in Michigan and not having anywhere near the impact he was expected to have is it safe to say we might have been screwed even if we kept him over Baalke? It feels like the base built by McCloughan finally gelled around 2011 and Harbaugh/Baalke got a ton of credit for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
