Pollard situation

[Acceptablename]

This won't be a popular opinion maybe. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of rookie contract rbs, strictly. Draft them and let them produce then let the walk but keep drafting a new one every other yr in the first 4 rounds.

First, they absolutely should try to re-sign Pollard, but it they can't franchise him and trade him. His age and the season he just had, and reports starting to come out they expect him to be ready to go by the start of tc.

If McCaffery got the niners a 2nd 3rd and 4th Pollard could Def get dal something like that. Maybe a 3rd and 4th or a 2nd and 5th. Or just a 2nd would be good for me.

Tony Pollard
1377 total yards 12 tds 232 total touches 0 turnovers
5.9yrds per touch

Christian McCaffery
1839 total yards 13 tds 343 total touches 1 turnover
5.3yrds per touch

We can get two running backs this draft rookie contract. Everybody knows this I’m not quite sure the controversy. I think Gibbs and another running back in the fourth is the way to go.

Fans get caught up with emotions rather than reality. Now first and foremost I hope Tony Pollard has a good 5th season perhaps maybe as a Cowboy. But the reality of things is he is reaching the point in his career where running backs typically start to "lose something." Couple that with rehabbing a rather serious injury and there are some logical concerns about him going forward. He may be great next season but reality leads one to believe that he will not. Odds are he will not be the player he was last season. The smart move is to try and sign him for less than the tag price. Running backs after their rookie contract are very risky; an injured RB after his rook deal is even worse.
