💯 huh? And if you’re wrong, you leave forever?

Or how about how the raiders declined his 5th year option….. which is one of the major reasons why RBs are a bad choice in the first. It took jacobs 4 years to play like a first round pick.

When discussing Josh jacobs, why not discuss his stat line from yesterday? 😉 😘

The raider locker room would implode if they trade Jacobs- I’d love to trade a 2nd for him (because of the 3rd rd comp pick we’d get when we don’t resign him), I just don’t see them pulling the trigger on it.

A true difference maker at the RB position

Bad game doesn’t = being benched.

How do we know this?

We had a 2 score lead in the first quarter. Their strength bleeds the.clock….. that’s why I don’t find it odd. They didn’t want to get beat deep. Aaron Jones also made something out of nothing on more than a couple occasions. Dude is an animal

He might be the worst cover S I’ve ever seen. Dude makes so many mental mistakes and has cost the teams several times with his stupidity. I’d be shocked if we traded for him. Doesn’t seem like a scheme or character fit imo

…..and less possessions for GB—- we were up 2-3 scores—- what don’t you understand?

They should. Would be a great move

Yeah….but you can’t make trades in hindsight. I’d love to add a WR for a 3rd rd pick if the player is worth it. The Toney trade is too high risk high reward for me. They might get absolutely nothing out of that 3rd rd pick if the wrong Toney shows up.

I don’t disagree. For Beane, it’s all about the price. He sets his trade budget and sticks to it. Would you have been happy trading a 3rd and 6th for Toney?

as it is with every team in the league. It’s all about the price. Beane knows what he wants to spend and if the price is too high (as it was with mccaffery) Beane won’t pay it. He’s not going to overpay. I’m happy about that. It’s possible to win the Super Bowl and not mortgage an overpay of assets. If the price is right….I think he’ll pull the trigger.

Yeah…:because only teams with great running backs win Super Bowls. Stop with your absolute nonsense. We are trying to win a super bowl. Having a star RB isn’t necessary. It wasn’t necessary for Eli manning to win a super bowl. It wasn’t necessary for Nick Foles to win a Super bowl. It wasn’t necessary for Patrick Mahomes to win a super bowl, it’s not necessary for Josh Allen to win a super bowl. meanwhile—— our RB is so bad that opposing defenses have been able to key on our pass game so hard that our passing game has struggled to the tune of being the best passing offense in football. Yes, upgrading our starting Rb would improve our offense. So would upgrading our QB, WR, TE, LT, LG, RG, RT, C or FB. Adding better players will usually improve your team. Duh. but it’s not necessary to win a SB

Yeah… so? I’m not advocating for spending 1sts on a Rb….. I’m just reinforcing how good Beane has been even though he’s burned 3 premium picks on RBs

I watch games. Thanks for the advice though. Motor isn’t keeping us from winning a super bowl. He’s better than you think. Sure, there are better RBs out there…. But we can win the super bowl with him. We can also keep future draft picks to help build the foundation for the future. If they don’t pull the trigger on a Rb trade then they obviously feel they can win the SB with Motor. If they didn’t, they would make a trade. There is no doubt. Winning the SB is the only goal this year. like I’ve said before, I wouldn’t hate spending a low rd pick on a trade for a back- but not because motor isn’t good enough. Rather insurance in case he is hurt. Do we have to double down and trade future assets to win this year? No, but it will better our chances. Can we win with the current team? Yes, but trading for a Rb could better our chances. The price to pay will determine whether or not we land someone.

What’s insane is the fact that we continue to burn premium picks on RBs and are still the best team in the league with the best roster in the league.

🤣 You liked Montgomery like you liked Breece Hall? i liked him too, but I saw him similar to Fred Jackson in skill set. If you want a game breaking RB that’s a threat to take it to the house, Montgomery is not that.

I’ll go with 83

Do you happen to have any statistics that can support the claim that teams are doing this? We can’t scheme safeties closer to the line? We’re throwing the ball over everyone heads. We’re leading the league in yards passing per game. What has been hurting us at times this season is the blitz. The dolphins made some big plays blitzing us. They gave up yards too….but had the takeaways to make up for it. Our offense sputtered in the first half vs KC because Josh started 0-8 vs the blitz. Every time Josh Allen steps on the field, the opposing defense will be 💯 geared to stop him. If we had Jonathan Taylor, the opposing defense would be 💯 hearing to stop Josh Allen. Believe that.

I agree, he won’t be on this team next year. He’s not special but your exaggerating his ineffectiveness. He’s so bad, that his career ypc is 4.7- always running behind a sub par run blocking line. Christian Mccaffery 4.6 kareem hunt 4.6 saquon barkley 4.6 alvin Kamara 4.6 Austin ekeler 4.6 Josh Jacobs 4.4 Derrick Henry is 4.8 a whole .1 better keep making up nonsense

Yes, but the eagles have MUCH better weapons and OL- hurts looks much improved as a passer too. I don’t think they’re the same.

To some people, speed is the only thing that matters. When in reality, it isn’t. It’s a luxury. Motor is plenty good enough to make teams pay when our opponents give us the short stuff. I’m all for giving up a 5th+ rd pick for another complimentary back. If motor were to go down, we’d be in trouble at rb. But once we have to give up a 2nd or 3rd rd pick, the dynamics of the trade change. We’ll be counting on those picks to produce once we start losing current starters. Too many people with the idea that just because we drafted Basham and Epenesa rd 2, that all of our future 2nds will be meh. If Beane decided to give up a 2nd or 3rd picks, I wouldn’t be upset if the RB was Jacobs. He would legitimately make us a better team and take Motors spot. I don’t see any other RB (that’s potentially on the market) that would be worthy of trading a pick that high. A 4th for hunt, I’d get behind that I suppose, but I think Motor would still start.
