He did have 45 fewer rushing attempts (about 1/3 drop). I wonder how much of this was that they weren't in 3rd / 4th and 1 as often? The threw...
Ultimately, I think the questions here are: Do you think that Barkley's performance was disappointing this year? I'd say getting ~ 1k fewer yards...
I always like reading the offseason stuff. Most of it won't happen, but it's interesting to see what the possible moves are. And having lots of...
:lolol: I wasn't suggesting that you do that. Just that taking an average across all the UFA signings probably doesn't give a good picture of how...
I wonder if there's a way to weight this by some kind of measure of impact and contract size (e.g., EPA / $1MM or something?). If we consider...
Remember your argument is “Barkley ran for 225 last week but let’s wait until next year to worry about him”
I agree that he's overpaid. But if we don't trust Wilson (who was losing snaps to a guy who's a career backup), then we don't have a backup plan....
Because Barkley was destroying teams last year. So it seems pretty likely that teams spent more time worrying about him last season than this...
That's awesome! I wish I got to see our boys in the 70s. Must have been amazing to have lived through. I also think it would be good if the NFL...
You seemed to be arguing that part of Barkley's decline this year was because teams were focusing on him. Which suggests that part of his success...
Warren will likely be the RB1. Johnson is cheap and under contract. If Gainwell is cheap you bring him back. And probably use a 6th / 7th / UDFA...
If the new DC can figure out how to prevent basically all QBs from having their lowest snap-to-throw times of the year against us, I think Watt...
We certainly need help at WR. I'd be excited about a trade up like that I think.
I think Watt is still a good player (but has declined from his peak, which was very, very high). But I also think that we should be looking more...
They could. And I wouldn't be against it. But as you say, there are quite a few needs. If we trade, I'd personally rather do something like flip...
I can see this argument. But currently one of those holes is at RB with only Warren and Johnson under contract. But this year I think we have 5...
Are you arguing that teams weren't focusing on Barkley the year he ran for 2k yards? Because that's...not a great argument IMO. IMO, the decline...
This is what I think too...or at least a fair bit more than $3MM. Someone will pay him more than I think we should because he's really good at...
I think anytime you're outside of the top 15-ish guys at a position, it's basically "got a 2nd contract or beyond that wasn't vet minimum". There...
