I crush old wrinkly senile Jerruh day in and day out....but on this ONE thing I can't fault him too much.
Over the years, the teams that sign older RBs usually end up with buyer's remorse. They have such a short shelf life, that once they show just a glimpse of decline, they usually fall off a cliff pretty fast.
Who in the world that Saquon, at his age, would bounce back and be on pace for 2300 rush yds or so, and league MVP? Not me. He legitimately could break the NFL rushing record, and looks like a 21 year old out there.
Henry doesn't look quite as springy, but that was never his game anyway....he just alpha-dogs everyone like he used to.
This season is unique IMO, so I hope we don't over-correct and start chasing old RBs in the future Besides, with our line, it really isn't money well spent
