    True, I guess.


    Just axing.

    I remember Wyatt or one of those guys saying they believed our THIRD RB wasn't on the roster right now, as he believed Gado would not stick. Said there would prolly be a waiver pick-up.

    Well here he is. Rushed for 214 in a game, has a ring, & a 1,000 yard season as a back-up.


    Ward has to be an upgrade over Gado at the very least.

    Agreed. Ward > Gado.

    The thing is, I guess Fish likes Gado. I was watching an interview and he was asked why he puts in Gado before Blount. Have you noticed that Gado goes in before Blount..

    Ward is a #2 back in this league. He has no place on this team. Yes, he is better than Gado, but he will not agree to be our #4 RB. Ain't happenin'.

    Well, considering we Don't have a #2 back on our team, but a bunch of unprovens who would be #3s and 4s on other teams, He wouldn't have to agree to be the #4 back. He could agree to be the #2 back. See how easy that works out?

    I thought that Ward was a really solid back in his days in NY but he sucked it up pretty good in TB. But then again everybody on that team sucked it up. I think he would beat out every RB on this team not named CJ.

    Would I like to have him? Yes. Will we even sniff around at him? Probably not.

    It really cripples a player, getting cut this late in the offseason. But I hope we at least bring him in, but I doubt they will

    Everyone makes good points.



    I like Ringer well enough. I'm down with Blount even ... But Ward is a PROVEN change of pace back who understands an NFL system.

    He's NOT a slop pre-season back OR a rookie.


    People are going to KEY on CJ more this year than last year, & I'd feel better with a Derrick Ward on my team, than I would with a rookie whose learning as he goes along, & Ringer.

    Just my opinion.

    & you're right ... I know it also won't happen. lol

    But I like to dream.
