none, which is why I think we should draft one every year in the later rounds (3rd at the earliest) and never resign them. ive been saying that for years.How many NFL RB's in today's game don't get hurt?

You dont sign someone who comes into camp every year out of shape to a 5.7 million dollar contract......injuries are gonna happen. Let the Kenneth Walker era begin.5.7m for 4.5 games doesnt sound like a good deal to me
what ive always said about penny is that he is finesse, soft and weak. he reminds me a lot of shaun alexander and he would be fine behind a really good run blocking OL. he is a threat if he goes untouched, but the guy isnt a tackle breaker and he isnt going to run anyone over like lynch and carson did. he goes down too easy and his legs go dead on contact. that was the criticism of him before he was drafted and you could see it in his college tape.
just look at the last game. 8 for 54 long of 32 (untouched). so his other runs were 7 for 22. not impressive, and even less impressive when you watch the runs.
he is the antithesis of everything this team supposedly wants in a running back, he was so obviously the wrong pick when chubb was on the board.
they should NEVER draft a RB round 1, likely never in round 2 unless a true stud falls. draft one every year round 3 or later and never resign them. they are disposable.
here is a better stat for you:So you think Chubb's is a better Yards After Contact guy? Let me tell you something that might make you say "Boy i'm not as smart as I believed" Chubb's averages 3.8 yards BEFORE contact. Penny is 34th in the league for yards before Contact.
When looking at weeks 1-5 at all the running backs with at least 30 total attempts ( that's only 6 a game ) Once again Penny leads the NFL in Yards after contact, Just like last year. What you are meaning to say is "I don't like how Penny is 225+ pounds and only hits a guy then falls over". Penny was NEVER a thumper he never was but he was big enough to run through trash and arm tackles. So I guess you also Hated Barry sanders he wasn't a thumper either.
Like I said and thank you for admitting it you want a 6 foot Plus 240 pound thumper, you know the type of running back that gets 3 to 4 yards in a cloud of dust and have a career as long as a flies life span. Thumpers are nice but I would take a 100% healthy Penny that could stay healthy all season ( wish he could ) over a thumper any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
It really comes down to one thing. You hate Penny and are blinded by that hate with EXTREME Bias and CHEERED when he got hurt. All because he is injury prone and not because of his consistent production. It really is that simple and it's as easy to see in your post that this is what you actually mean.
90% is a ridiculous exaggeration, but I doubt anyone here is surprised about that from you. He has had durability problems for sure, which is why his '22 contract was a very team-friendly deal. Low risk for the team, which was my point. Who are the zero risk players out there to sign?who could have foreseen the guy who has been hurt 90% of his career would get hurt again?!?
INCONCEIVABLE!
You missing the pointwho could have foreseen the guy who has been hurt 90% of his career would get hurt again?!?

So you don't sign Penny back, ok then who replaces him?It was team friendly in the sense that theres no dead cap money. Maybe we could have used that 5.7 somewhere else? Defense?
