Why Isn't Tashard Choice Starting?

[dboy214]

there is no way you can tell me he isn't at least equal to the other two running backs on this team.

he has better vision than Barber and is a tougher in between the tackles runner than Felix.

don't be shocked when he is gone and flourishes somewhere else.

don't trust these coaches with talent evaluation. if it wasn't for an injury, Miles Austin might still be rotting on the bench.

Cuz F.Jones "starts" and HE'S BETTER

Nevermind starting ... he's hasn't had a single carry for atleast 2 weeks.

I expected to see TC vs. the Vikes as he's previously shown that he can perform fairly well against tougher D's (Steelers, Ravens).

Felix did little vs. the Vikes ... while Barber was atleast outstanding when called upon to convert 3rd and shorts.

 

[Don Corleone]

Punishment for fumbling away the game against the Commanders maybe, and serving his time (along with Barron) as one of the two goats of that game?

If he's being held accountable for that, I commend the coaching staff for at least putting a foot down and holding SOMEONE accountable.

We don't start the game in the Failback formation

He's too small to play right guard.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Jones should start. He's the best of the three but I do think that Choice, whose my favorite, should be getting carries and playing time.

There is no way Choice should be starting over Felix but he certainly should be getting Barber's carries.

He's too small to play right guard.

And too slow for FS.

TC doesn't convert those 3rd downs that Barber did yesterday

Barber was money on 3rd and short yesterday. Me thinks Choice wouldn't be so lucky.

Well, maybe he's simply not as good as some people think he is. Maybe there is an attitude problem that is causing him not to get any carries. Or, just maybe, they feel that playing only two backs gives them the best chance to win and Choice isn't one of the two.

He's the third back. How many 3rd backs in the NFL even see the field, much less complain about their role and getting paid good money in the process?

 

[Gaede]

Because if we started off in the wildcat formation, then everyone would REALLY know what we're doing.

 

[kazzd58]

Politics is y... it make no sense he dont get more carries..... Tc our best overall rb ive been sayin that since his rookie yr.. Imma hate it if hes gone cause hes gonna b a pro bowl player he got vision man and qs a rb ill tkae that over a guy that runs a 4.3 ..... U cant teach vision he need to get all of barbers carries if they want to win... I still get up set when the cowboys run sweeps wit barber..... Jus not wrkin man..... Tc starts felix the x factor use him like the saints use reggie bush man....

No kidding....run right between G and T....every time

Garrett has no clue how to use all the personnel on this team. You have Bryant frustrated, Choice not given a single carry in two games, Bennett...did he play yesterday? Roy Williams playing out of his mind and he hardly is thrown to. Austin is a pro-bowler and he has one catch in the Vikings game? The talent on this offense we should be putting up 4000 yards, not 2000.

I'm sure there are other backs out there in similar situations that feel the same way Choice does. When a team is 1-4 the warts start to show and if they get to 1-5 the warts will really start too fester. If it were me, I would ship him out of here if I could get a decent return on him.

Tweeting about being upset over your role is a guaranteed way to never see the field.

I would declare a fire sale like the Raiders are doing, and blow this whole thing up. Something is wrong with the DNA of this team, and there is nothing a new coach can do to fix it.
