He might, stay tunedSproles had two years, one early with SD and one later with Philly, where he had 93 & 94 carries. Thats right around 6 per game. All his other games he had lower or significantly lower number of carries.
2016, the year he had 94 carries, he averaged a little over 3 receptions per game.
Thats 9 touches per game. And those were the highest totals of his career. Most years significantly less.
He was also the returner. So he got touches there as well.
He was also faster and bigger than Deuce.
Deuce will not beat out Turpin.
It took Sproles a few years to be anything more than a returner.
So you willing to sit Deuce for a few years and have him contribute nothing?
Or do you think Deuce is far better than Sproles and will be given those 9 looks a game his first year. Even though hes not even good enough to be our returner?
You see my dilemma here? Being practical and all. Not getting all googoo over some hype videos.
I said it before. His best chance was to go to a team that needed a returner. Unfortunately, none of them wanted him.
The only team that wanted him was the team who had his dad as a scout.
that too long to read or worry about this early but this is a RBBC type backfield and can work.. first off KT is KR/PR possible part time wr , where as Deuce was Fulltime highly productive skill payer with ton of snaps as starter in a competitive conference. Wrong comp as equally , size of KT or Deuce isnt reason to comp them but Sproles was a productive player in a RBBC type scenario. that's all we need as a reliable RBC with TP #1 and deuce coming in and showing what he can do..specuial teams ,might be bonus thats at NOT WHO HE IS..HES not ever been gadget player, hes starter got it? limited snaps sure , does a lot as a runner in RBBC type offenses.. we arent asking deuce to be a full-time starter, just a solid contributor then gets a few catches too boot. and??
