Fisher: Pollard news

[DCwarrior]

Those saying don’t pay running backs…Pollard has no wear and tear and he can be effective in the passing game.

A broken leg is not wear and tear???

 

[Chuck 54]

If Pollard won’t be ready till training camp, his marketability will be very limited.
He will have no choice but sign what’s offered.

Sounds like yall are hoping and wishing. Dak would've got paid from multiple teams with a much worse break and MUCH more money. Pollard will get his

I doubt they tag him now. More likely a one year prove it deal.

Same thing, but if they get him to voluntarily sign a one year deal for less than the tag number, you have more faith in this FO than I do, but we knew that.

His injury isn’t significant, and he will likely command multi year deals of some variety.

Jeez Gallup blew out his knee and they gave him 50 million or whatever it was. They probably celebrated the discount, yet can’t understand why they came up short, or why they are so great at the rest of life, but not this.

Tag Pollard. They aren’t capable of working through scenarios any more complicated than tagging their own guy, or paying their own guy as if he was on the free market.

That’s because QBs are valuable. Running backs are not, especially ones who can’t even work out or pass a physical during free agency. Teams in need of a RB will draft one rather than gamble on Pollard. After the draft, his value goes down more.

 

[RonWashington]

Pollard is not a feature back. Barkley can give you 30-35 rushes a game if needed.

Pollard will give you 10-15 with the occasional 20.

If you give Barkley the ball 30-35 times be prepared for injured reserve . No way.

 

[tyke1doe]

Don’t pay big money for a fungible position like running back.

Ooow, fungible.

Does this injury not count as wear and tear?

 

[The Quest for Six]

Exactly right. He was tapping out. Not saying he cannot be, but he’s best in a two back system.

Zeke taps out after two three yard rushes.....every player needs a breather in a game...

 

[The Quest for Six]

A lot of RB talent in this draft. We shouldn’t feel handcuffed to pay this guy.

The team is handcuffed by an overpaid declining running back in Zeke....franchising Pollard for a year isn't handcuffing the team....

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

8 million per year.

What...so you can moan and complain the whole time about not meeting his contract?


Oh wait...you only hate Zeke, very hurt bama fan STILL!

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

The RB class in the draft this year is deep. I love Pollard but good RBs are easy to come by.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

LOL...you zeke haters are nuts. Liek that is all he does? Like he doesn't regularly save Dak's ax and spring Pollard with TWO blocks on one play?

Come on man. I get you wanting to curb stomp his face...but try to be somewhat realistic about it.

If we had an OC worth a dman, neither one would have to tap out. Coaches call subs not players.

 

[KJJ]

Why?

He’s coming off a couple of injuries, one of which required surgery and he’ll be rehabbing during free agency. That’s going to cost him a lot of leverage and there’s no guarantee he’ll return to form. He missed a game earlier this season due to an injury, and some teams may question his durability. Most teams have been screwed paying big free agent money to RBs and Pollard isn’t an every down back.

The same people that hate zeke want to do the same thing with Tony. Roy wants to sign a part time back with a busted ankle to 8 mil a year.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Did you read it? Two separate injuries. Broken fibula that will heal on its on. Surgery for high ankle sprain to repair ligament!

Yep. Very serious injury. Sounds like it might affect Pollard's running ability going forward. We saw what a damaged ligament/nerve leg injury did to Jaylon Smith. He was never the same.

 

[removed_20241105]

Take Zeke money, and what Pollard wants, and invest in D and O lines. Say bye to Zeke, and if necessary due to what he is seeking, say bye to Pollard too.

Jaylon had drop foot… reports have been the surgery was a success!

I don't take anyone that uses "Haters" in their argument seriously..

 

[texbumthelife]

Let another team have him. Draft a RB, just not with the first pick

Let’s see the price before we just move on. Pollard is incredibly dynamic. Thinking you’re just gonna replace his skill easily in the draft is a very Stephen Jones line of thinking.
