Still a big fan of Dunbar except he couldn't stay healthy. Can't help the club in the trainer's room. I wish Dunbar all the best with the Rams.

Me too. He was our best offensive weapon for a few games not too long ago.

For what his role was, he was always a good player. He did struggle staying healthy, and his play did seem to have dropped of quite a bit last season.

It did always bug me people pretending expectations were higher for him than they actually were. He was an offensive role player. One who could at least in theory run between the tackles and also split out and run the route tree. Every team needs guys like that.

It was his ability to run the tree like a receiver that always piqued my interest. Not to mention he was fast with a little missem'. You're right. He was a role player who never stayed healthy enough to push the envelope.

Love players who make you choose which personnel you're going to defend them with, who can then lineup and hurt you with whichever you didn't choose. Even if the players themselves aren't exceptional, those matchup advantages help you elsewhere.

CAR is going to be a fun team to watch this season for that very reason. I don't know how effective they will be, but it'll be fun.

Good.

Perhaps Switzer can run a good pass route, get deep and make an impact unlike what they think we will miss with Dunbar.

Pehaps he can also stay healthy more than 2 or 3 games before missing time.....

It's always been about matchups. And execution. That much will never change. The game has changed around that esp the passing game.
