Royal 'you'. I was speaking generally.
KC obviously erred by assuming Williams could be a starter. We released Carlos Hyde and we'd be way better with Hyde and McCoy than this gadget back pretending to be a starter. [Reply]

His situation on the Browns is interesting. The guy is way too talented to not be on the field as a primary back. His career should not go to waste sitting behind Chubb for 5 carries a game.
How I feel about it also. That ship sailed only way he would filter back our way is with new ownership. [Reply]

You can't expect that from everyone, because nobody else is like that. It's one of the things that makes him special.
If you thought "We can just replace Kareem with another guy who can lead the NFL in rushing and basically never fumble" you're a damn fool.
RB's fumble. You hope they fumble 4 times or less during the season.
For the record, McCoy has been under 4 every season of his career.
I still think he's THE BEST RUNNING BACK IN FOOTBALL, so obviously we'd be better with him than 31 year old McCoy and 2 yards per carry Williams.
I think your memory is a little selective. He is a good back. Better than we have now. Undoubtedly. But he’s not as good as you make him out to be. He was tremendous in space but got stuffed at the line a lot. I think Shadys vision is better.
I’d like to have him, sure. But he’s not a unicorn IMO. I’d take a healthy Jamaal over Kareem. [Reply]

I think he meant unicorn as it concerns fumbling. I could be wrong though . . . [Reply]
Everyone needs to get a grip. No RB is going to go ten years in the league and about 3,000 snaps and not have a few dozen fumbles. It's not a thing. If Hunt or Saquon play at least ten years, they'll both more than likely have 30 or more fumbles. [Reply]
