I’ve seen enough. Dude is as meh as it gets. Pacheco needs to take his spot yesterday. Dude has bad vision and he’s slow.
I hope we scout the cuts list to find another RB to add to the group so we can cut him. Seriously the only reason this guy is still on the roster is because he was a first rd pick. [Reply]

We weren't nonchalant about the RB position though.

Neither does Ronald Jones or Isiah Pacheco. Teams aren't coming out of the cover 2 shell. They're NEVER going to defend against a running game with Patrick Mahomes under center.

So you're willing to take double the fumbles for the CHANCE at a long run maybe once or twice in an entire season?
It's time to face facts - there's not a competent RB1 on this roster. It's not CEH, it's not RoJo, it's not Pacheco. This team is fully committed to RBBC. [Reply]

They aren't coming out of that shell. Run it all you want. The defense literally wants you to take the ball out of Mahomes hands. [Reply]

Damien Williams had 2 big runs in the regular season. Take those away and he averaged just 2.9 YPC
Nobody feared him
But an elite RB would help this offense tremendously [Reply]

His yards over expected are well below average. His ypc is purely a product of the line. The line will block for what should be a 6-10 yard gain and he'll get 5. They'll block for what should be a 5 yard gain and he'll get 3. [Reply]

That pretty much describes every back on the roster, IMO. You can't bank on a guy like Jones just because you think he might hit one or two home runs a season. [Reply]
At this point if keeping Jones would make them put Mahomes under center more and make them use things like ISO, Power, Counter and playaction...then yea make Jones the starter as this team would move the ball without a problem doing that. [Reply]

Of the backs, his instincts and vision are basically 100 times better than anyone else we have..he isn't good in the pass game but it is what it is. [Reply]

You think they're going to change the offense like that? Andy Reid? [Reply]
