    Ok I agree with the W/L argument being a pretty lousy one but you can't keep making all these excuses for Jake he really didn't have it that bad and we've tried to surround him with a supporting cast. CJ still commanded respect regardless of his swing for the fences or strike out running style. I agree his OC's haven't been great. Stewart was bad this season but the season before he got hurt because he missed the blitz Houston was sending not protection. He had Kendall and Nate that season as well and this year while healthy which was sparingly per usual he had Nate, Kendall, and Delanie. Plus we drafted Chance and Hunter to help him out. Lets not act like he was working with scraps. QB's make WR's look good not the other way around unless your Megatron.

    He was working with garbage. Hunter is no where near ready to be a full time player. And he went out there with Kenny Britt starting. Might as well have had 10 players. Chance was good in run blocking but not in pass protection.

    Well Kenny wasn't getting much playing time cause he sucked so that's besides the point. Still had Nate, Kendall, Delanie, and CJ.

    Hopefully Hunter, Wright, Walker, Washington, etc.. prevent Locker from getting hurt this year.

    I don't think he's worthy of the garbage label but he has severely underperformed the last few years. Kenny Britt is garbage, Eugene Amano is garbage, CJ isn't in their league.

    He's just not a suitable rb to run the whole offense thru. There's a reason we were forcin locker to throw the ball so much... CJ often left the down and distance behind schedule. Then when he would get hot he would eventually kill the drive with one of his patented dance moves.

    Then when you think about the team dynamic ... Locker is a game manager type with upside.. But often hurt. He's always been the type to turn it on and get streaky... As long as he isn't cold the whole time we have a chance.

    But then you get a ****** attitude CJ wanting more carries and complaining. He came off like a stat oriented "Me" player and that didn't help his reputation.

    So let me get this straight Locker gets a pass on everything? Is anything on him? I know he's not the type to throw his teammates under the bus but he would never have to because we do it for him.

    Hardly. He has streaky accuracy and sometimes tries to over produce. Couple that with his injury prowess .... You have a low percentage success rate.

    But CJ did no favors. None.

    unlikely to happen, Locker has been hurt every year for I think the past 7 including a few years in college. I do not see what makes this year any different. Even if he was healthy he couldn't hit an open wr from within the pocket because he still has major concerns with accuracy.
