wppete Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Jamal Charles played under Daboll in KC and had over 1500 yards in his offense. If Charles checks out and his knee is ok do we bring him in as Our RB2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I'd rather draft a guy, especially this year. Also thought he was not the same guy when he came back. Not remotely the same. Edited January 15, 2018 by starrymessenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 No way. Get a young RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoandfourteen Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Sure, I'd be all for that -- add another young guy late in the draft or UFA, too and the RB position is set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 He's 31. He's been injured (badly) multiple times in his career. He's been [laced on IR 3 times. He's had 5 starts in the past 3 seasons. Why would this be a good idea? Because he once worked with the new OC when he was a young RB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 No thank you. He could barely crack the lineup in Denver, and he would be here for one year max. What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I was thinking Dion Lewis. He's a free agent and would fit in really well with Shady. He'd be a great 1-2 punch and you could keep them on the field together since they are such great recievers. They are great friends and Lewis is from Albany, NY. Great fit and obviously familiar with Daboll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardman Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Need to draft McCoy's eventual replacement. I saw a mock with Bryce Love in the third. Think that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishDave Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Bills passed on him last year I thought? If they didn't want him last year, why would they want him this year - after he's another year older? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Isn't he like 31 or something? With McCoy being 30 next year, I think the backup needs to have some fresh, durable legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Joshin' Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Not a great year in Denver on a run first team with a suspect starter. Let's get younger, not older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Living in Colorado, I watched Charles last year. He really didn't flash anything; that's why they didn't use him much. He's not Reggie Bush toast, but he's the next level of "done." Keep away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Why not. From what I hear Daboll likes using multiple backs in his schemes. He had flashes last year and could be productive if used sparingly. Make no mistake, Shady is the workhorse! Jamaal's days as a feature back are over and I'd rather see him than Tolbert anyday.

GoBills808 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just draft one this year in the 3rd. There’s tons of value in mid round backs...Hunt and Kamara the two immediate examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fit and obviously familiar with Daboll. Would love Lewis. He’s an underrated key for the Pats, I’m not sure we’d be able to pull it off or they would let him go, but I think he can share the field with Shady in some packages and adding a rookie in round 3-4 would give us a very strong backfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this referenced in an article I read a few weeks ago. I've had a quick look for the page but have not found it. So I can't vouch for its accuracy. Though it doesn't directly answer the question because their measurement is not specific to yards after contact and they are dealing to some extent with averages and base case comparisons as of Jan 1, 2018 Football Outsiders had him ranked first in DYAR, first in YAR and second in DVOA league wide.
