Stokes84 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Now that McCaffrey is off the market, I think it’s time to get serious about adding a RB. A lot of people think it’s about replacing or upgrading Singletary, but to me, it’s about making sure we have the horses to win a game like we lost vs. New England last year. If we lose in the playoffs because the wind is gusting 50 mph in January and we can’t pass the ball, we are going to be kicking ourselves for not bolstering this position. A couple of options that might be worth exploring: Antonio Gibson David Montgomery James Robinson I think each could be available for a mid-round pick, and imo it would be totally worth it. 2 4 8 2 3 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 What is the obsession with adding RBs when Singletary is playing perfectly fine? Is this like a Fred Jackson thing? Every year there is someone they are trying to replace him with? 4 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually we COULD pass the ball, they just didn't try it until the second half. IF they would have done it all game, they win that game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) I kind of feel bad for Singletary. He plays his heart out for the team and actually does pretty dang good and there is just this constant talk about him being the weak link and replacing him. Depth is one thing but just constantly trying to replace him right after he gets 5 yards a carry in the most important game of the regular season, just feels bad.

We won’t be losing in 50 mph to wind now. We already made the proper additions….on defense. No one will score on us in that kind of weather 2 minutes ago, What a Tuel said: I kind of feel bad for Singletary.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Still have Moss, Cook, Duke. Each would cost a lot less than McCaffrey. Can throw in Akers too, even if his stats have been traditionally pretty terrible. Gibson - Fast which is a plus. The minus is his YPC has gone down every year since his rookie year and he got benched for a rookie the first chance they got. Something amiss here. Montgomery - Sure handed, sort of boring. Ran a 4.63 so... are we just trading for a Zack Moss who gets more touches? Robinson - Also a 4.6+ guy. Sure handed. I'm not sure he's on the block though. The jag's arent out of the division race by any means, hell there the only team in that division that has scored more points than they've given up. Had the Achilles injury a year ago so he's probably a good fit for a timeshare. Akers - Meh, guy doesn't really pop to me. 2.6 yards per carry last year in the playoffs? Yuck. 3 minutes ago, bmur66 said: If Singletary had to miss some games who would be comfortable with Cook and Moss? I would be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, while the question of whether other RB options are worth trading for is valid, the conclusion you draw in your opening statement leaves a lot to be desired. Just because McCaffrey is now off the market, does not mean that other RB options out there are now worth it for us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He barely gets double digit carries per game. Hes hardly being run into the ground. This is a pass first offense with a pass first offensive line. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
