Either way his yds per carry was impressive and top 3 in the league. Sorry, didn't realize they had that many carries. My bad. I saw them but thought they had a lot less carries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 57 minutes ago, purple haze said: Most NFL teams don't have backs who can outrun an entire defense for a 70 yard TD run. Thurman Thomas and Emmitt Smith weren't considered "homerun" backs. They are Hall of Famers though. And Singletary is short, he is not small; there is a difference. If the Bills use him more there will be more big plays. He's good. Don't overthink it. Can we get our Kenneth Davis then? Would love for Taylor or Dobbins to fall to us in 2nd round.

It's likely a 1 yr deal, at most 2 yrs How can it really hurt??? The guy is a complete back, and will complement Singletary perfectly. He catches well out of the backfield and is a terrific goal line threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be positive about him if we do sign him. It’s just that I would much prefer someone who has more upside and explosiveness, and think you can find a guy like that just about anywhere in the draft.

Orlando Tim Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Seeing the cost of Rb I would prefer Carlos Hyde for less than 3mil a year for two years than 6 mil for Gordon. Both will be backups and Hyde is a good complement to Singletary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly think the Bills are looking for a Gore replacement to complement Devin. Not someone to take his place. 14 minutes ago, Buffalo Timmy said: Seeing the cost of Rb I would prefer Carlos Hyde for less than 3mil a year for two years than 6 mil for Gordon.

Better but not worth 3 million more. 19 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Devin is a #1 RB. He may not be a combine warrior but the kid is a stud on the field.

See: Brown, John. See: Diggs, Stefon. I am more concerned about our RB's moving chains then just homerun speed. I mean the obsession with the home run long TD runs is crazy to me. That happens a few times a year at best. But moving chains happens on every drive on every carry. Get me the guy who gets me the most consistent YPC and is a TD threat in the Redzone. Homerun long TD runs by a RB is over rated and the least important part of a RB's job. Edited March 20, 2020 by Alphadawg7 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just prefer Hyde for 2 years I think Gordon is probably much better than Hyde, younger too. Gordon is explosive in rushing and receiving. Every team needs a quality backup, one capable of starting if needed, I think Gordon is the best bet, but I'll trust whatever Beane does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
