I guess I'm the only one concerned we have only 2 RBs.....and one is fat, lazy and overpaid. Pollard goes down....your looking @ signing Frank Gore....and hoping all goes well.

You're a next level thinker, Floaty. We'll figure that out later.

We currently have 4 RBs on the roster.

As long as we don't keep forcing passes to Zeke. Dude had the lowest yards per target that I have ever seen.

I'd like to see Tony Pollard get a chance to play in the slot WR position. Seems he could get a bunch of YAC.

Kellen Moore? Maybe. Maybe McCarthy. At this point, I don't see Moore as the be-all end-all.
He's the freaking Offensive Coordinator. It's time you accept this. He just got an extension to be here many years, The FO loves him even if you don't.

In my opinion, for as much Zeke is getting paid, he should automatically be a 3 down RB. He's the one who should be out there running passing routes and getting the ball thrown to. So...why is it Tony Pollard getting placed out there on passing downs, instead of Zeke? Why pay Zeke so much money if you're not going to use him on passing downs?
Pollard has talent and a 98th percentile burst (just spit balling that) you need to get on the field. Getting them on the field together is even better.

He’s always been a solid return guy
He’s made some bad decisions on what to return but he’s really improved on his decisions too
We have been drastically searching for someone capable for a long time, Pollard is the best man at this point.

Not true..
Did you forget about Hardy and Knox?
When I said 4, I got that info from the official roster. Since then they have updated the roster to reflect we now have 5 RBs on the roster so they have added one. It happens.

Yes he's the "freaking OC" but that doesn't make him the greatest of all time. Neither does it mean that he makes all decisions over and above the HC Mike McCarthy. We don't know whose idea it was to start working out Pollard at WR. That word could've come from the HC just as easily as not.

So "freaking" what if the FO loves him? The FO loved Jason Garrett too. :rolleyes:
As far as I'm concerned, the jury is not in yet on Moore.
As for Tony Pollard I've always liked him, I like the idea of giving him some reps at WR, regardless of whose idea it was.

So, according to you, the OC can't give an RB more plays at WR unless he is the greatest of all time? You think this couldn't be done unless McCarthy thought of it. You're a hater of Kellen Moore if you think that little of him. Yes, Jason Garrett was loved by the front office but he didn't just get a contract extension before he was let go. Did you forget Kellen Moore(the winningest QB in collegiate history) was engaged in discussions with Boise State University to become their next head coach? What seemed like an inevitability before the new year was turned on its head when it was announced that Kellen Moore signed a three-year contract extension to remain the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. His job security is the best among all the coaching staff.
