Chargers now really need a RB!

[TXCowboyVol]

They are also going to let Sproles walk! What are they thinking? Forget Cromartie, I would offer Barber for a 3rd and Brandyn Dombrowski and call it a day!!

The Chargers are probably thinking that Sproles has not done much as a running back in his career.

Drafted in 2005
887 career rushing yards
880 career receiving yards
15 career TDs rushing/receiving

This was his year to step up. LT was clearly on the decline and missed time. Sproles responded by having a career high in rushing attempts with 93 and a career low in average at 3.69 yards per rush.

If a Cowboy running back accomplished these stats after 5 years the fans would be screaming as to why he was still around. Julius Jones did much more as a runner during his Cowboy tenure and most could not wait to get rid of him.

Here is a nice little comparison. Tashard Choice has 821 career rushing yards as the #3 back in only two seasons in Dallas.

woah, I never realized sproles had so little production. Choice actually basically about the same amount of rushing yards as sproles?? Only way i get rid of choice is if they offer us there 1st.

I can see Jhavid Best being selected by the Chargers.

Though the late 1st would be considered a bit of a reach by some (due to concerns about his concussions and overall durability), it kinda makes sense. They obviously need bodies at the position and he's a california kid.

bet they take Jonathan Dwyer. He is around 220 now, and will run a low 4.4.

[Big Dakota]

Sorry, they guy's not worth anywhere near 7.3 million and he won't get close to that on the open market.

Julius Jones rushed for that in half a season coming off an injury.

Sproles would be a nice addition for our return game... no doubt, but probably way too pricey.

Yeah I'm sure the Chargers would JUMP at that trade for a declining Barber who when even at his best wasn't a feature back. :rolleyes:

[Eskimo]

Sproles is basically a third down back and kick returner. Maybe the Chargers feel he is wearing down?

[MONT17]

Chargers will be fine... they have a leader at QB!

[Four]

how was sproles as a returner?

[Bob Sacamano]

Choice for Cromartie!!

[Apollo Creed]

Merriman for Ware.

That is true. the Chargers know that and I suspect Sproles knows that also. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up back in San Diego.

[JSP21]

Barber for Cromartie!

The RB position has become the easiest position to fill and you could win in this league without a star . they will use a pick on a guy who can catch because we know norv loves the screens and they will pick a guy or 2 up either late in the draft or as a free agent . they have there goal line guy in hester already ..

Exactly what i'm thinking. The dude made 1.1 base salary in 2008, then the Chargers franchised him last year and he signed the 1 year tender for 6.621 million. They obviously had no intention of doing that again. He's surely worth more than a mill, but not 7 million. Maybe 3 per?

[jobberone]

Who gives a frack about SD? Stick with Crayton on PRs. We need a KR and Sproles ain't one.

Screw that. I don't get rid of Choice. Period. They could only convince me to entertain offers for MB3.

We could fill his vacancy with a Ryan mathews, javhid best, but it won't happen, don't worry lol

[AmishCowboy]

I think Best of Cal is just too small to be an every down back: kind of like Sproles is. I don't see the bolts taking him IMO
