M. Rob is like the Clayton of active gameday roster players. In fact, we have a bunch of these guys, but once some real talent comes along, these guys will be forgotten in a heartbeat.
Coffee and Sheets basically washed away any issues with the running backs. This may also happen once Crabs signs. Patrick Willis did this with D. Smith.
All these hopes and sticking behind subpar players is silly. We still need more talent and players like M. Rob will be gone in a heartbeat.
Killah Kieth comes to mind.
when was he on our team

Anyway, it doesn't matter. These guys both make the team. They aren't competing for the same spot.

I've always liked Robinson. But if it comes down to it I hope the Niners keep Sheets. I think the trio of Gore, Coffee, and Sheets could be pretty special.

Get rid of M-rob. We know what he brings to the table.

Sheets....he probably has more TDs than Mrob already. ST players are easier to find.

For a team that's looking to be a run-heavy offense, you want to keep as many RBs as possible.
As stated earlier, MRob is way more diverse in his range of playing ability, since he can be a Half Back, Fullback, Special teams, and Wildcat QB, he can be put anywhere.
Sheets has the open field playmaking ability that all teams want (as someone posted earlier, he isn't as fast as sproles but will play a similar role for the team).
Overall, We'll keep both, putting the H-backs as Gore, Coffee, and Sheets. Our F-backs will be Norris and robinson.
GO NINERS!!!!!!!

While MRob showed improved running skills this preseason, there's no question Sheets is the more talented back. I'd like to see Robinson add a few pounds and be the backup FB, with young Brit going to the practice squad and ultimately supplanting Norris, should his "personal problems" re-surface. Miller showed some impressive blocking skills for a guy learning the new position and is certainly a better runner and pass catcher than Moran. This way, we get to keep both Sheets and Robinson.

Sheets will stay. MR did a good job, but i think Gore can run the goalline.
