I really hope Ellington wins the returns job so we can either trade him or just cut him he bring NO VALUE to this team whatsover he just doesnt fit our offense, he would flurish in NO or even Philly's but with the depth we have at RB he just taking a valuable back up spot or even a key special teams spot. uggghhh 2012 49ers draft class....
He certainly looks like the odd man out. But I'm not quite ready to give up on him. He filled in decently when Hunter went down. One factor that lead to the disastrous 2012 49er draft, among the various theories already mentioned is simply overconfidence in Trent - due in part to his extraordinary 2011 draft. I think the whole front office has to be humbled by the results of that draft and have put more time in film study prior to the 2013 and 2014 drafts.
LMJ can make the team but he has to show much better inside power running than he has shown so far.
