snatchit 108 Posted August 7, 2020 I remember drafting him in like the 4th round the year he got traded to SF, I was so pumped. Didnt play 1 game. Anyways, reports are saying he looks explosive now. Maybe he turns out to be the RB to own in SF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted August 7, 2020 It would be interesting to see what he could do, if he could step onto a football field without tripping over the sideline and tearing a knee ligament. Going into last year, one of my favorite fun facts was that Jerick McKinnon was the 7th-highest paid RB in the NFL (though that is no longer true). He's 0-fer-2 since signing with SF; I think I'll look elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,452 Posted August 7, 2020 In non ppr he’ll need to show a lot , his last two seasons he was with the Vikings, he rushed the ball 310 times, for a 3.6 rush avg, that’s seems pretty pedestrian, I love that term now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikings4ever 496 Posted August 7, 2020 I maintain the same opinion I had when he signed with the 9ers. I didn't see him as anything more than a 1B back. McKinnon also lost out on a lot of third down opportunities, a situation he should feast in, to Matt focking Asiata, because he couldn't pass block. I could see throwing spending a late, late pick on him in the hopes of being a bye week/injury fill in, but I don't see him being the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,512 Posted August 7, 2020 I still see sf rbs and wrs as interchangeable. Shanny will play the hot hand, and put in personnel situationally. Whoever is in should do well, but this is going to change week to week (or attributed to injury). It is going to be another 3 headed monster (plus wilson who is very good in the passing game).

Smileseers 54 Posted August 8, 2020 I think Mosert is under ranked in most of the rankings I've seen. McKinnon will battle Tevin Coleman for third down back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snatchit 108 Posted August 8, 2020 just saying, dont forget about him... they paid him a crap load of money and never cut him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 399 Posted August 8, 2020 He's not on my list at all. I've heard about him since he was in Minnesota and supposed to take over for Adrian Peterson. It's never happened. He's been a spot starter at best and that was like 3 years ago. If one of my teams takes a big hit at RB and he's available, I may pick him up. Other than that, no thanks.

RareN64Dream 8 Posted August 10, 2020 He played quarterback, running back and wide receiver. He was an Atlanta Journal-Constitution first-team all-state pick at quarterback. He was also tabbed first-team all-state by the Georgia Sports Writers Association as an athlete and named Region VII AAAA Player of the Year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RareN64Dream 8 Posted August 13, 2020 I was just sharing information that he can throw a football pretty well and catch too. Not sure how many times he has tried to throw in NFL or line up as QB though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted August 17, 2020 Until proven otherwise, part time back with gadget play potential. As a 9ers fan hope it happens. Will see. Backfield looks like a slightly jazzier version of the Patriot 3 headed backfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snatchit 108 Posted August 19, 2020 well he will be the only one I will draft, that will cost me nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he produces he might get more opportunities, but he's gotta stay healthy this year or it'll be adios. In Bold Predictions thread I had McKinnon throwing a touchdown pass to QB Jimmy G this year in the SB against the Chiefs. A repeat of last years SB but with a different outcome. The 9ers win it.
