Nephilim17 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Dobbins, 25, missed all but one game last season with the Baltimore Ravens after suffering a torn Achilles in Week 1. That came on the heels of Dobbins missing the entire 2021 season with a torn ACL and nine games during the 2022 campaign due to a different knee injury. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cray51 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Dobbins doesn't move the needle that much to a team like KC. They were effective with Mckinnon and CEH ran hard (although he, like Dobbins, has been underwhelming since coming into the league). Dobbins, with several injuries to his body over the last few years.... I dont think he matters much if he goes to KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Prediction: All of the people dismissing him and saying he's always hurt (as if an ACL tear and an Achilles tear aren't both freak accidents that can happen to anyone) now are going to be the first ones saying "why didn't Beane sign this guy?! He was asleep at the wheel!" next season when Dobbins stays healthy, resuscitates his career, and proves to still be a dynamic weapon in the run game. Yes, I'm still a Dobbins supporter and believer. Yes, I realize that achilles injuries are hard to come back from for football players. Yes, I wish the Bills would sign Dobbins to a cheap, incentive-laden deal. Unless Dobbins wants big money, this seems like an obvious low-risk, high-reward move that I wish Beane would make. The Chiefs seem to be doing a lot of the low-risk, high-reward stuff lately: Araiza, the rugby star they signed once the kickoff rule changed, and now potentially Dobbins. When the financial cost isn't high, I believe that it behooves a team to take calculated risks. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 10 minutes ago, Billl said: Why would you want CEH? Nice guy, but ever since he got injured his rookie season he’s been JAG at best. Fair question. I feel like he still has some upside. The things he still does do well would mesh really nicely in our offense. I think he can handle being the head of a committee for a week or two should Cook miss a bit of time. He's also had big game NFL experience, which IMO is something that you can't replicate. The moment won't be too big for him should his number be called. He's not likely to every be a superstar, but he's a "steady Eddie" that could/should be inexpensive. He does lend some versatility. I also believe that because of his former draft status some look down on his ability and he's much more solid a player than given credit for. A change of scenery would do him some good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigotz Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Maybe it's just me, but I feel like lusting for RB's is for people who don't know ball. They're one of the lowest paid positions on the field. If it's a top 3 guy like McCaffrey, Henry, or Jacobs, I might get a little excited. Actually ... I wouldn't even get very excited about Jacobs. Everybody else is Meh. Do I care if we get Zeke or Dobbins or roll with Ty Johnson (a guy on the waiver wire all through training camp last year) as RB2? Not really. Same for KC. Don't care. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 If Dobbins has even 1 successful season post achilles tear, he'll be the first RB in NFL history to do so. Add in the knee issues, and I see very small odds that he is ever somebody we need to worry about for the Chiefs. Here's what happened post-achilles to the recent RBs who've come back. This is a couple years old, you can add Marlon Mack & Cam Akers to the list who have also flamed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnycage46 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Doesn't really matter. KC will be in the AFC title game again, at the very least, with or without him. He doesn't really move the needle much for them as far as they relate to the Bills and our inability to beat them when it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Dobbins isn't a needle mover due to his injury history. If a good organization like Baltimore moves on from you at age 25 due to injury it's probably a sign the player isn't worth investing in. Kick the tires on him but not likely to do much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among the very best? IS he though? He had some exceptional ypc in Greg Roman's offense but we witnessed a fading Shady and journeymen Karlos and Gilleslee all feast with league high type ypc figures under Roman. Personally, I think there is every reason to expect JK Dobbins to be washed after that myriad of injuries..........but even if you feel he's good to go you gotta' start by adjusting his ypc down about 20%. Look at Gus Edwards last year. Gus went from averaging over 5 yards per carry for his career under Roman to a sub-league-average 4.1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
