Blount signed with the Steelers. MJD signed with the Raiders.
Agreed.
Wonder what the reasoning was.
Was he ever even offered anything to stay?
Maybe playing time. He has a chance to start there.
No, we brought him in as a backup.
My guess is, even as a backup, he's a backup in a running offense and will get more carries than he would have in a passing offense?
I think Blount is a good pick-up for the Steelers. NE had too much talent at RB and nobody was able to pull away from the others. I like Bolden better and had him rated higher at RB. Bolden comes back healthy this year, he is going to get more carries. He can also catch the ball. Even with Blount gone, Pats still have the carries spread out.....
I think blount was the talent,i dont like ridley,dont really know bolden
He's getting less than 2 million a year, and is a better RB than Ridley. Unless Vereen emerges as an every down back there's no reason Blount shouldn't have gotten plenty of carries.
I'm not happy with this. We're still in good shape at the position but he was dirt cheap and a quality ball carrier.
