People are freaking out over Kaleb Johnson's slow start

We will see what Warren can do with increased touches a game, I hope he stops fumbling and doesn't lose his job to Kaleb .

 

It's ridiculous to try and compare Henry to an RB like Najee, Henry is a physical freak almost 250lbs and plays fast.

 

True...The better comparaison for Harris is Trent Richardson when he was with the Browns(not the one when he was with the colts)...He had 950 rushing yards and 11 TD in his rookie season in Cleveland in 15 games but he had 267 runs to have those numbers

 

This is from the guy that still thinks Fields is good. LoL

 

Wrong, the Browns got rid of Richardson during his rookie deal and wasn't effective really except for one year.

 

for a first round pick...

Of course, it didn't matter to them, they drafted another draft bust(Johnny Manziel) with this pick!

 

That's how YOU picture me, not "we". There are very few people on here (apparently) that share your opinion.

 

When you make stupid posts just to try and tear down a player who busted his ass for the team for four years, that's some clown .

 

I don't entirely disagree with most of what you said. I don't think Najee is a 3 down back though. He's a quality blocker, but he is garbage in space. He might be able to catch a ball, but that doesn't make him a capable receiver. He's a two down back imo.

He is definitely durable and proven to take the workload. Jaylen has missed a couple games and has never been asked to take a large workload for an extended period of time, so that is an unknown. But I don't care about having a workhorse back. If Warren can give us 12-13 rushes a game and 3-4 catches a game, that is good enough. There are very few backs that command a dominant share of touches, and Najee just isn't a good enough back to justify putting him in that role.

Najee is safe, but that's it. He's a low ceiling/high floor player. He's going to get you you 16 carries for 55 yards most games, not get hurt, and fumble very seldomly. He neither helps your team win, nor exceptionally hurts your team (except for being on the field on third downs, I think he is a hindrance in that role). He's gonna give you 2-3 big games a year, and that's that. I personally would prefer Warren plus a tandem over Najee. I just think that Warren should be able to give us just as much production on 12-13 carries as Najee did in 16-17 carries, plus you get the added bonus of him being a capable threat as a receiver. We have Johnson and Gainwell for a reason. I don't need Warren to take Najee's workload. He touched it too much anyways. Lets give Warren the workload he can take and make him effective there. We can use Kenneth and Kaleb to give us quality work when he needs a breather.

 

I never questioned the kid's character? I'm not making this personal at all. Towards Najee, nor towards you.

I simply think this team is better off with a different player than him in his role.... How is that "tearing someone down"? I was a professional athlete for nearly 5 years myself. If anyone knows how hard it is to do what these guys do, its me. But I don't have to treat him (or his fans, apparently) like children because he tried hard for the team. I simply have an opinion on his abilities. If you don't want (or can't handle) people's opinions on whether or not you're good at sports, don't do it for a living. Same goes to you. If you can't handle someone having a different opinion that yours, then don't engage with them on a public forum (or make a meme about them being a clown lol)... idk what to tell you.

 

We agree to disagree.

 

fair enough

 

Same OC, but nowhere near the same quality of blocking. He had Tannehill throwing 33 touchdown passes one of those monster seasons. Harris never had help like that.

 

I always liked Najee and admired his effort, so I am weighed towards having a glass half full outlook about him.

But I do agree with most of what you say. I have actually wondered a few times if playing Najee less would have resulted in more due to less fatigue and varied running styles. I am hopefully that some combination of the 3 backs we have will work.

The only spot where I really disagree with you is the 3 down back moniker. To me a 3 down back is a guy who can get out there and do that 3 downs game after game. Najee has proven that he can. His production might not be the greatest, but he is out there doing it every game. I don't think Warren has that level of durability...... And to be fair, it doesn't look like he will have to do that this year which will be good.

 

You just keep looking dumber
