Tapper or extra RB

[Verdict]

If the last spot on the roster was choose Tapper or the loser of the Jackson/Bo battle who would you choose?

I personally would go with Tapper mainly because the 4th RB would probably not get many snaps.

 

[The Quest for Six]

I don't see four running backs making the roster so I'd keep Tapper....

 

[glimmerman]

Tapper but I am afraid if we do that and ends up injured again we may miss the chance to develop BO. A team gets a injury to a rb and he gets poached from PS.

 

[stilltheguru88]

I think people overrate interest in Bo.

 

[Bobhaze]

Let’s first see if Charles Tapper can make it through TC without getting hurt before declaring a roster spot for him. Durability is one of the MOST underrated requirements for NFL success. Talent is diminished by a lack of durability.

Seriously, Tapper has talent. But in the NFL, your talent is essentially cancelled out if you cannot stay healthy enough to be on the field.

Tappers garbage and hes injury prone and were deep at that position. I would have cut Tapper long ago. And since our entire offense and team success is centered around the run game, I would keep Bo without a 2nd thought.

For what it’s worth.. I believe Tapper and Bo make this team. Sorry Mr Jackson.. but Bo is too big, strong, and cheap for that matter to let him walk. If Smith can develop into a solid #2 after a couple of seasons.. Bo could very well do the same.

That’s a fair assessment.

I’m not going to lie.. Tapper has been a pet cat of mine since he was drafted, but if he gets hurt again.. I’m done. You can be the most talented player on the team, but your not helping if your not playing. Ala.. Randy Gregory (for totally different reasons of course)

I rather keep a 7th WR than either of them. But if between the 2, probably Tapper.

Pass rushers are better to keep than a late round draft pick at RB. Especially if we need a RB, they will be many to choose from with the same skill sets. Bo, Darius, even Trey Willam’s, we will not lose all 3 to other teams, if any at all.

 

[Jipper]

Comes down to who can play special teams when you are talking about that type of bubble spot...which gives bo a decided advantage

Well Bo was lining up there on ST”s in the game. So yes, this will be a big advantage for him. Not sure how he did though.

 

[Risen Star]

They are pretty loaded at DE. Right now we're one Zeke Elliott injury away from a scrub like Rod Smith starting.

Give me the back.

 

[T-RO]

More of your nonsense. Tapper will either make the roster or I suspect get us a 6th, maybe 5th round pick via trade.

Its nonsense because you dont agree with it? LOL

What has Tapper done since he has been here?

Someone is going to give us a 5th rounder for Tapper?

SELL!!!! SELL!!!!!

LOL

Well then I guess he's making the roster then because he sure as hell isn't netting that pick.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

To me, I don't see a 7th WR being a legit question. I would keep Lenoir over Thompson for sure.

At RB we are gonna keep Zeke, Smith and probably Bo. I think there is more of a debate over a FB or a 4th TE to be honest.

If we go long somewhere I would prefer it be in defense.

His odds of making the team arent any better

No 4th TE. Rico can go rap.

They're keeping 7 WRs if you count Austin.

Austin is a receiver. Sure they might run him a couple times or have him run screen passes but he isn't a RB.

I just don't see the point of keeping 7 receivers. Game day you won't have more than 5 active including Austin.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Tapper.

RB's are easier to find than guys that can rush the passer provided Tapper continues to show something for the next 3 games.
