Facts are what you have seen happen - verifiable truth. Until then it is opinion/assumption. I've seen a lot of people claim things both as certain to succeed or fail where they were eventually proved wrong. That's happened to me, and I'm confident to all of us. Odds are if it was so clear as to be absolutely certain he would be a quality RB if used certain ways then some team would have seen that before the bottom part of the 6th round of the draft.
Explain Jordan Mason? He come he was undrafted??? How is he the second leader rusher in the NFL?

Please don't let that happen! Holy moly that would be so bad. Living in Chef territory is bad enough already.

But you are right. Andy Reid would love a weapon like Vaughn. And getting him as a FA? Mercy.
Reid would put Deuce in space immediately.

Darren Sproles Played 15# heavier than Deuce and he had good power. Deuce doesn’t survive contact nearly as well.
Sproles was short. Deuce is small.

Strokes was much thicker and faster.. He broke lots of tackles. They really are not even close to each other physically.

Why do so many fans think the RB is the problem?

Have you watched a Niner game???

The Niners punter could run for 3.5 yards a carry.
Rb is part of the problem. Id put run scheme/play calls, blocking then RB as our order of problems.

I think a lot of us lean on RB, because it's probably our quickest way to make an improvement in a short period of time.

Were not likely switching up anything scheme wise and our oline is who they are, minus hopeful improvement with experience.

Deuce was one of the best RBs in college football and destroyed top-10 ranked teams filled with future NFL stars on the regular.
That's like saying since Tim Tebow was a great college QB and should have done the same in the pros.

Yeah I dont see the same athlete. Sproles had more pop/power. A truly special player. Now to be fair, Sproles didnt really take off until his 3rd year in the league....

Will someone on this coaching staff PLEASE watch tape of Sproles. Then, implement some plays designed for Duece. He has all the same skill sets. Here’s a thought… maybe think outside the box and have Luepke and Duece in the backfield… give it to either, screen to either.. we need creative mis matches. Another jet sweep or curl route and my head will explode.
Yeah retire him just like sproles

Sproles was a better player. Deuce doesn't look as fast as he was in college for some reason. Also, don't look for this coaching staff to help player succeed.

Deuce doesn't get a chance because Jerry pet Zeke has to be active even though he's completely washed as a back and does nothing on special teams. On no other team would this happen, but the coaches have to keep Emperor Palapatine happy.

I agree, the parking lot has a lot of space and is exactly where Reid would put him, out of the building because he is not an NFL caliber player.
Before I would show him the door I would at the very least give him an opportunity, can you truthfully say that wee man has been given that?

I will say he has been here 2 years. He had opportunities in games and failed. I would assume he has not done much in practice either which is why he has limited opportunities in the games. So i would say he hasn't earned the opportunity with either his play or his practices. I doubt seriously he is crushing it in practice, embarrassing our D on the daily, etc and not getting in the games.
