Seems a little rich for a guy that you have to use sparingly or he won’t stay healthy in four years of play, his career best is a 600 yard season. thats pretty much all you need to know. I guess if getting more playing time, he could improve on that. but by how much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure you pay any more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To that end, At that price, I do not think he will be sitting on the bench unless he is injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zona must pick up another rb, crazy to think thy will load the wagon with Conner and his 3.7 yards per carry. He’s not going to score 18 tds next season , and the bratty kid they have playing Qb might explode everything up. So who else is on your list would be important Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, now that they have a serviceable QB in DC. I mean, Wentz isn't the best QB in the NFL, but he's an okay starter at least, certainly head and shoulders above Colt McCoy or Branden Weeden, or whoever they were going to start. I know it's likely coincidence, but look at the season Johnathan Taylor had with Wentz... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,461 Posted March 17, 2022 Mostert of healthy is a lot better then Edmonds, based on team performance he’ll beat out Edmonds, they blew that deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 591 Posted March 17, 2022 2 hours ago, weepaws said: Mostert of healthy is a lot better then Edmonds, based on team performance he’ll beat out Edmonds, they blew that deal. well, its interesting that they would pay 6 mil per year for Edmonds to be a backup. maybe thats what we get. or perhaps it's a 1 and 1A scenario to keep both players from wearing down. but then how much money are they paying to Mostert? if hes the 1A, I'd assume hes getting a pretty penny too. it feels like an awful lot of money is going to the RB position here on a team that has other needs.

weepaws 2,461 Posted March 17, 2022 I don’t know how much Mostert is getting , even if it’s less then Edmonds, when healthy Mostert is by far the better player. By far. But we all know that coaches don’t always do the right thing, just look at the Steelers since Tomlin took over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we all know that coaches don’t always do the right thing, just look at the Steelers since Tomlin took over. I dont know what you are specifically referring to, but in terms of personell moves, sometimes the GM has just as much say in what happens as the coach does. and sometimes moves are done because you have no choice. for example, Antonio Brown. They NEEDED to move him because he was causing problems. it wasn't voluntary. keeping him would have ripped the team apart and so they sold for pennies on the dollar. there are always moves that are made that you and I dont understand. maybe player A is benched because hes not doing something the coach wants him to do. all you and I see is that player A is more talented than the current starter, but we dont know the background. so its tough as an outsider to determine what the right move is in terms of playing time. one thing I do know is that when the GM gives a huge contract to a player, usually that player is going to start. That isnt necessarily the coaches fault. so if we see Edmonds starting even though Mostert is the better player, at least we know the reason why. In this case I blame the GM and not the coach if this decision blows up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,461 Posted March 17, 2022 I would blame the coach. Tomlin has been under coaching the talented Steelers for years now. Edmonds isn’t a rb that’s a starter, no more then a RBBC rb like the Dolphins already have plenty of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,461 Posted March 17, 2022 If the team doesn’t win, the coach can also lose his job, I think coaches like playing their best players imo. I think the sign Edmonds first, so I find it interesting they would pick up Mostert. Now Mostert is getting 3 mil on a one season let’s see what you have deal. If healthy I would expect for Mostert to take the lead rb slot easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted August 29, 2022 If I had more confidence in Miami's offense, or run game in particular, I'd be a late-round buyer on Mostert. But between the ineffectiveness and the injury history, meh, give me Damien Williams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
