I guess we should cut him then. :laugh:

Some of you guys are so quick to give up on players. If a guy doesn't show talent shortly after emerging from the womb, you're ready to assign him a career as a burger flipper.

Chillax. Players have to grow with their teams and their roles just like everyone does.

A lot of people guessed that he wasn't smart enough to learn the playbook. What I have been seeing is a ton of physical ability but a ton of little lapses. Not necessarily mental mistakes but things that drive coaches crazy.

The Sammy Sosa stuff before every play is one thing. The over excitement after a nice run when losing is another. He just seems too lost in his personal battle and not the team's situation. Which can be hard if you really believe that you could help the team the most if you were the starter.

I didn't like the hip bump after that drop and I didn't like the fraternizing(and that goes for all of them).

Something just seems OFF with him, which is shame because as we saw on that run that was called back, he has the power to run through Earl Thomas and the speed to get down the sideline. I do think he needs to have a larger share of the carries. McFadden can't be counted on week to week.

Oh, a reject from another team half shortcomings?

I never saw THIS coming.

Our starting RB is having a mental breakdown so it really isn't time to get snarky.

Getting the most of your players is what good coaches do.

How can anybody evaluate anything. He's productive at least, but all those antics are just his age IMO. If were in there for longer than a couple of plays all that would change IMO.

He just seems to have a lot of energy out there, but as always we never figure out how to use certain players, rather than just be like the Gents and Pack and just throw them out there and be productive!

He seems to have a tendency to run into the back of his own players..

His running style is OK. I think he would do great things with this team.

It's his mind that bothers me. He has to get past that self-centeredness.

It did look like he was running right over to his coach when he came off the field for tips and encouragement.

IF they can get Randle and Ratliff to play, they can deal with this guy. If he is willing and able to work is what matters. Dumb is easy to deal with if they are willing to drill.

Issue is that drilling takes time. Cassell and Michael are still struggling to master the offense after a month. I know that now off all times is the hardest to ask for patience but now is when it's actually needed.

I just hope we don't go 8-8. I would rather go 2-14 than listen to another offseason of 8-8 blather.

Everyone keeps saying "dumb" and that is not what I'm saying at all.

He looks more immature and self-centered, not stupid. His career is on the line.

All the hand gestures and body language show me someone who knows how close he is to making it and losing it all at the same time.

McFadden is halfing a mental breakdown?
As for getting the most of your players, do that mean Jason half failed?

You cant give a RB one or 2 carries in a row then sit, they need to get into a rhythm.

The dude acted like he was a Seahawk during the game too. Dumb is as dumb does.

I addressed both the dumb and the arrogance. Randle is both.

Actually the play I saw him in he was out on a route, not pass protecting. He was going to be the recipient of a pass that was batted down at the line of scrimmage. Having said that, you may be right about them trusting Smith more on pass protection, just not a huge sample size to really get any idea.

Your right Michael dropped a pass. Didn't see any pass protection though

The fraternizing, mid-game, with ex-teammates was annoying to watch.

Well at least you know you're just old and that's not how it goes anymore with most people in the age of free agency. Them days are back with the telephone book and VCR lol
