Gallimores time here is coming to s close.

RJ just flat out sucks and barring injury will never see the field. Heck he may barely see it if there is an injury.
Pollard and RJones stats are close.

Eatman and No C were really trying to sell Gallimore. He was trading DNP's with Hill, and the team tried to trade Gallimore before cutting Hill. I dont see Gallimore as any kind of factor, and I would actually be surprised if he is on the roster
Gallimore is a tweener 1T/3T, that cannot hold the point or jump gaps consistently.

Two good points about Gallimore. The first .was the effect of the injury and how it can often take another season before the player returns to his previous production trend. The second was in reference to his contract year.

We've noticed lately that some players take more than a season or two to reach a breakout point. We've seen this with Armstrong and Schultz. Lawrence didn't reach double digit sacks until his contract season.

I'm not ready to write off Gallimore. In fact, I consider him a breakout candidate. I wouldn't expect Mazi Smith to blow up the league in his rookie season so Gallimore should get some opportunity

Pollard and RJones stats are close.
not even close.

Pollard in 2022 193carries 1007 yards average 5.22 yards per carry, 9 TD, 9 runs of 20+ yards, 3 runs of 40+ yards, with a long of 57
Jones in 2022 17 carries 70 yards average of 4.1 with 1 td. only played 6 games so maybe not a good comp you say?
Jones 2021 101 carries 428 yards ave of 4.2, 4 TD, 1 run of 20+ yards (30yard run).

Jones only compares to Pollard if you go back 3 years and that in my opinion is really dumb especially for RB that fall off so quick. Out of 5 years he has only played 16 games 3 times and only had 1 really good season in that time. Betting on RJ to bounce back and recapture what he was even 2 years ago is asking a lot much less 3 years ago where he was actually good.

Those are career numbers. And a glancing look you will think they are the same but they are not. Big difference between them.

My opinion he does. I'd rather use anyone else on the boys roster. Bad fit too. Terrible in short yardage and can no longer break off 20 yard runs. His best year was 3 years ago then came down to his median the year after and was either healthy scratched or hurt most of last year.
