And 28 isn't exactly 35 yr old Frank Gore. I could see Duke get 30-40% of the touches. Moss and/or Brieda will be gone. Well, looks like you were correct on Breida.😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Yolo's post comparing their last 62 games it's pretty close. I mean yeah, in principal Duke's are a little bit better, but not enough to argue about imo.

Now a top 3 QB.... Yeah, but Josh then wasn’t Josh now and Shady was on his way out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely disagree, Duke has a better build (shorter but stockier), faster, quicker. He's better than McKissic and almost certainly cheaper once we get the details. Good signing for a pass catching back, this is all you need. No need to invest $7 million in a 29 year old JAG like Mckissic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have posted they believe McK is faster than Duke. I honestly don't know, but if so it may not be much anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal or bury Moss... still draft a back but a guy with size and explosiveness, I wouldn't be opposed to even drafting a RB in round 1 or 2 like Walker, would be a cheap way (cap wise) to get impact production. Duke shouldn't be a camp body, he should be a specialized pass catching back. I think Moss had the hottest seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past his prime, but has some of the attributes they were looking for in Mckissic. Yes. Yes he can. Past his prime based on what? His birth date? 5 hours ago, Back2Buff said: Hopefully he doesn't make the team. Solves zero need. Need to draft a speed back. Duke ran a 4.54 at the combine and faster at his Pro Day.

I didn’t call this signing, or any of them for that matter. I just feel like I deserve a victory lap. 1 hour ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: Do people realize he's faster than McKissick and has significantly higher yards per reception average? No they don't. Too busy writing instead of reading... pre-formed opinions. To the mods: Please consider changing your definition of "crusading." Crusading should encompass more than just the person who cuts and pastes the same post over and over. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree with you. I'm just mainly pointing out to the ones saying McK is better.

Barring injury or unforeseen circumstances Duke will take snaps away from Moss. It's only a matter of how many if you know what I mean.

Rochesterfan Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 1 hour ago, transplantbillsfan said: Don't we pretty much have to draft a CB in the first couple rounds if not in round 1? Seems that's a pretty gaping hole for us right now. Do not be surprised if they sign at least one more DB before the draft. Today alone they filled the RB and a WR hole. There are at least 2 Vet DBs that might chase a ring - I am not concerned. I would still expect a high DB drafted, but it may not be the gaping hole at that point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, with 6 years in the league and 1000+ yds in 4 of them, >900 yds and missed games in another 2 season, Zeke Elliot is pretty clearly in a different category than Sony Michel or Saquon Barkley.
