Is our HB group historically bad?

[KJJ]

People talk about how much we upgraded the line, but really we just replaced two starters with rookies. And Guyton is not going to he an upgrade over Smith. Beebe should be better than Biadasz, but probably by not as much as people expect

We’re not going to know if we upgraded the line until the regular season starts. We have some potential upfront, but the jury is still out.

It's crazy to me that we can't get a quality back here

Like it shouldn't be that hard

Jones knows once Elliott changes numbers, fans will go out and buy the new #15's

 

[CWR]

We have two backs that are completely out of gas in Elliott and Cook. And two backs who have done next to nothing in the NFL. We are at a point where Rico Dowdle is our best hope to have an adequate every down back

Is it possible we have one of the worst HB groups of all time. I honestly cant remember a worse group anywhere

It's no different than Joseph Randle, DMC, Alf.

At least I don't believe it is. I suspect similar results. Although that line was special and I'm only projecting with this one.

 

[stiletto]

They went with Cement Shoes Zeke as #1. That should tell us all we need to know.

We are also projecting Steele to play better and growth from Tyler Smith.

Randle at least showed something as a backup. Going in to 2015, there was an possibility he could be a decent back

Funny how most of our fans hate paying RBs and say anybody could play it's a plenty of backs out there. But when we don't have who you want it's a problem lmao

Half backs? Lol...
Two halves make a whole back...I'd rather look at it like that.....yes, I know....I'm a homer and boot licker. I good with that.

 

[RonnieT24]

They haven't played yet.

Yeah but we heard it through the grapevine that they're not any good. Who needs to see them play..

 

[RonnieT24]

Id take Pollard over Elliott or Cook any day

You can have him..

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Weird how nobody was saying this last Summer, when we had one-leg Tony Pollard leading the same scrub RBs.

Could it because Zeke > Tony ?

Pollard was fine until he got hurt.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

As would I.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

We learned nothing from the Randle/Dunbar debacle

 

[jazzcat22]

How do we know. We have not seen them on the field to play yet.
All fan speculation with many of the usual doom and gloom thoughts And opinions.

 

[shabazz]

They are better than last year.

Possibly , but it's like someone saying they got rid of crabs and are now loaded down with genital warts......

Name ONE lesson Jerry has learned in the last 30+ years other than hiring a strong coach takes away the ability for him to be the only focal point of this team

It is definitely in the conversation.

There is this really ridiculous idea that who you have at RB doesn't matter, and you can easily find starters. You can even prove to the ones spewing this idea that it is unequivocally false, and there they are, spewing the same trash in the next thread. Meanwhile, the super bowl contenders spend lots of resources at the position, SF w/ McCaffrey and KC spent a 1st a few drafts ago. And would've spent another had they not gotten lucky w/ Pacheco working out.

We have watched them all play. Cant just sprinkle Cowboy Dust on them and magically turn them into good backs
