T master Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm not sure he would come back he was really looking forward to him & Gore working together & he was one that got on his soap box to bring Gore in then they let him walk which i think Shady with the better O line may have done better than Gore but we will never know !!

I don't think Shady left on bad terms, just a money deal. After Singeltary the cupboard is totally empty - Wade, DiMarco, Yeldon. I also think he would benefit from the upgraded line. He had a bunch of turnstile blockers when he was here. Have you noticed that KC drafted a RB in the first round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whorlnut Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 OP...why? So we can let another washed up RB split time with our young emerging RB? Makes zero sense. Zero. Then we would be back in the same boat next year. We need to get another young RB to form a duo with Singletary that we can control for the next four years. If we don’t get one in the second it doesn’t mean we can’t get one later in a deep draft. Good grief... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 In addition to everything already stated why this is a bad idea, Shady also isn't a good compliment to him. I'd prefer seeing a Derrick Henry type of power back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Caveman Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I think Yeldon is a better back at this point in their careers. I also don't think McCoy would agree that he left on good terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a straight ahead bruiser. He didn't run straight ahead his last year in Buffalo because he always had somebody in his face in the backfield. Only had a 100 carries last year. So he didn't add a lot of mileage during his stint in KC. Probably get him dirt cheap too. There's not a lot of Derrick Henry's standing on the street corner.

Well did Singletary show enough last year to where he is the unquestioned starter? They didn’t use him much in the beginning of the year although he was productive, then he got hurt, then the Bills seemingly phased out Gore only to give him 8 carries in the Playoff game. To me, that position is not set in stone. The Bills get Dobbins and he beats out Singletary as the starter, that’s fine to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I like Shady and thought it was dumb for them to release him in favor of Gore. Shady would have been far better than Gore last year. That said it is time to get young. RB is the easiest position in the NFL to learn and play. Just get a RB today or tomorrow. There will be other veteran options available if injuries occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Singletary is very good, but if this is how the board falls then that's how it goes. Personally I think Singletary can handle about 14 carries a game, Josh will get his 6-7 carries, then some sort of backup can pitch in 5-6 carries a game spelling Singletary. I don't view it as a position of need. I'd much rather try to add an impact defender to keep that side of the ball elite. I'd prefer to add a complimentary back in the 4th or 5th round.
