what a reply!

Listen. I was negotiating with Jameis directly at the behest of Mr. Rooney. Our GM was not in the loop. Jameis and I grabbed an Uber one day and knocked out what it would take. After the Uber driver woke up and we paid her, we parted ways. I can only assume Mr. Winston was lured into a NOLA afterward.

Grabbed her RITP undoubtedly... Well thanks for keeping it under wraps.

Shoulda offered him more crab legs.

Shocked. Brutal the Steelers couldn't land him for that little. Even if they still had faith in Mason.

They just keep pumping up mason. They really believe.. z

 

[Yo Tee]

Yes, yes we did. Because we don't have any good reliable running backs on the roster.

We now have 9 RB/FBs on the roster. That is a bit ridiculous. If we needed a reliable RB on the roster, we probably should've taken one at 49 instead of 124.

Faith in Jameis though? That's a hard sell.

why? based on last year, still uber talented....i'll take a backup who can throw for 5k yards, 30tds, even with 30 picks...fn right, give me a chance to win

On a 90 man roster...what does it matter?

We know who the top 3 are...Whyte and Samuels battling for RB4 at this point...the rest are camp bodies...maybe 1 will make it to the PS.

FB...there is 1 that will be on the 55.

Jaylen Samuels is as safe as Conner is.

The rest of the slots are up for grabs.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Jaylen Samuels is as safe as Conner is.

The rest of the slots are up for grabs.

With his versatility, I tend to agree he makes it, but not sure about as safe as Conner.

MT might not think so due to lack of availability, but Colbert still looks at Conner as a true RB1.

Conner, lock
Snell, lock
McFarland...lock
Samuels...75%
Wyhte...50%

If somebody from pack ramps up, maybe one of these names will change, but this is kinda how I see the RB room this season.

Ooh I think he is. He's a good all-around back, and our best receiving back. Last year was bullshit, but the year before Samuels was a favored outlet for Ben. He's a 3-down back. And with Conner's injury history, having that guy who can be plug and play is important.

Conner and Samuels are lock. Snell isn't. McFarland isn't (he also has an injury history).

We shall see.

 

[Superbelt]

We shall see.

Samuels was ranked behind only Hunt and Breida for receiving efficiency in 2018.

And he had the best catch rate in the league at 90%. He's making the team. Ben depends on him. Jaylen is a critical outlet that Duck and Mason weren't able to take advantage of.

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I've already agreed with this.

You said McFarland is not a lock to that I said we shall see. Barring something very unusual I feel pretty confident he will make it.

Agreed!!!

Dobbins would have been a perennial beast. Still will be. Just for the Ravens now.

 

[TheBurgh88]

Faith in Jameis though? That's a hard sell.

1.1 for Winston is an absolute steal. The window is open and rapidly closing for both the Saints and Steelers.

Much like last year the Saints have found a valuable backup for cheap money. Brees went down and the Saints didn't miss a beat. Big Ben goes down and we saw the results. Even an average QB guides them to the playoffs.

I sure hope history doesn't repeat itself.

You think Jameis Winston gives you a chance to win? Dude doesn't even have a winning record as a starter and led the Bucs to ONE winning season in the last 5 years. No thanks.
