“For the first time ever, I didn’t know what the future held,” he said, via the New York Daily News. “I tried not to overthink it and draw conclusions off information I didn’t know. Just had to say, ‘Hey, I have to be positive through the season, offseason, and just work out and be ready for whatever is thrown at me.’
“Obviously, I was very excited to hear news from Mr. Gettleman and Mr. Mara they wanted me back. I work extremely hard to keep my job and when you almost lose something it makes you appreciate it even more. That’s certainly the case here.”

The most likely scenario would have been that we had the same draft that we got, except swapping Darnold for Barkley. In fact, once you got to round 3, I think you would have had a hard time saying that we would would get was appreciably better than what we have. And that ain't much. It really is the philosophical difference of whether or not a ground game is very important at all.
I was arguing with someone last Saturday - it kills me that I can't remember who - about this.
I said QB/Nick Chubb/Geno Christian was the better package than the actual combination of Barkley/Hernandez/Carter. Then we changed out Carter for Lauelleta.
Still get a terrific RB (Chubb) and outstanding OL (Christian)...and the QB > Barkley...
I think the ground game is very important, just on the cheap.
If that happened I doubt they would of even picked a RB. RB wasn't such a need that, they would of passed on other players to take one later like that. I think the only reason they went RB that high was because of who he was.
Well there you have it - it's been declared.
All of the RBs AFTER Barkley were only incrementally better.
Does that mean you think Gallman is great, so we have another great back. Or Gallman is average, so we have another average back? Don't answer - just being a wise ass...I know your answer. ;)
That hated word “generational”is actually applicable. And 3rd down back in s 3rd down back.
There's been plenty of reason to question the things this team does.
