So who was the guy calling him generational here? Was it Rascal?

If only you saw Hunt beating that girl coming.

People acted like because he ran over some 160 pound DB that one time, that he was going to do it all the time in the NFL against man-sized players.
He was a pretty one dimensional north-south runner with injury issues. In today's NFL he is kind of out of place. RBs more and more are expected to catch and run routes. Barkley is the prototypical modern RB.

If he recommits to the game I wouldn't mind him as our goal line short yardage back. Honestly not in tune with what went down in Jax though. McKinnon/Brieda/Fournette
Happy New Year Faithful!

basically what I was trying to say during that draft process...but but but he's big and kinda fast lol.
Dude was exactly what Kyle doesn't need in a RB.

Think so. Ready to blast the FO for the Reuben Foster +Solomon Thomas picks, but won't own up to their misses. We all have them. I thought Quentin Patton was a future 2/3 receiver. Held on hope on Vance McDonald until the very end (and even though he did put it together with the Steelers, I am glad he is gone).

A "generational" back doesn't get put on the trade block 3 years into his career.

I'd take him for a 5th or 6th rounder.

It's Jacksonville. Did you not see how they handled Jalen Ramsey?

I was one of the ones that thought he'd be amazing.

OBJ, Amari Cooper, Gurley, Mack, Hopkins, Cooks, Watkins, Buckner...
He's not too different from Henry just in a far worse situation. That said, I thought he'd be better.

I thought he'd be better, but still put up some decent numbers in a dumpster fire season. Improved to 4.5 YPC
