Just in case anyone still has any hope for any change and some aggression in March.

We've heard from Jerry being reluctant to go all in and now Stephen talks about our upcoming FA at 8:55 to 11:30 of the video.

And at the 15:30 mark he talks about how close we are and how the Eagles/49ers game looked just like our game against the 49ers until they ran out of QBs.

I won't link you to his comments on Zeke because they are nauseating. You only can see Pollard's value because he's a "fan's RB".

We are right on the cusp in his mind and that of the father.

Meaning they're doing a great job and they just have to stay the course.

Status quo, bros. Yet again.

They are delusional. If Elliott is back next year with that cap hit, or worse, after a restructure, it's just another sign that they don't know what the hell they are doing and just reward guys that they drafted because they think it makes them look like great drafters.

And what does that even mean, Pollard is a "fan's RB"? He's not trying to make the case that Elliott is a better TB than Pollard at this point, is he?

This goober is going to be running things himself in a few years. We are ****ed.

To be fair we’ve been through this whole “the backup RB is better” thing before. Before Pollard it was Randle (lol) and I remember people screaming for Hambrick back in the day.

People are never really satisfied and usually don’t know what they’ll be missing until they actually do especially when they’re on a perpetual state of frustration like this fan base.

Not saying that Zeke hasn’t disappointed or that he wasn’t overpaid but he isn’t the only player on the team that has an albatross for a contract. Our own QB comes to mind.

They should’ve kept Murray, IMHO. I think the team would look much different if they had.

I still can't get over how bad Stephen looks these days. I have a team program from a game in 2015 with his picture in it and he literally looks almost 30 years younger.

All that whiskey, partying, and young women are really taking their toll on him.

"Fans RB"? LMAO, every analyst in the game was on Pollard over Elliott and realized Elliott didn't scare the D's, even as a power back. He does not hit like he used to and while I think he still has the heart, he no longer has the wheels.

I did not expect a change because that would be an admission they were wrong and according to Johnson, Booger can't handle that.

The real problem with the Joneses is that they cannot tell the real difference makers from the overpaid jags because they've screwed up in the past. Once bitten, they don't buy.

Little Stevie Blunder will rummage around in the Tier 3 free agent dust bin and fish out some old veteran willing to play for chump change. The guy will get injured somewhere along the line and be forgotten like all the other over 30 FAs they've signed in the last 20. years

Murray's career was over by 2017. Letting him walk for what he got paid was a great move, imo.

However, I was not at all for using the 4th overall pick on Elliott.
Seemed crazy to me.

And sure enough, when we were picking in the 2nd round, a full round later, there was Derrick Henry still on the board.
