He is although just one year removed from a 1600 yard season---so i tend to chalk up this year to the injuries of him and the o-line. If we do this however i don't see us keeping 4 backs, so pass would go. (even though BB has kept him around for quite a while for some reason)
As far as salary goes, i am sure by the end of next year (i think that's when his contract is up)--he's gonna want to get paid so we will have to deal with that as well!
I think where our opinions differ is basically this: I think i would rather spend the 3rd or 4th rounder on another area OR on a back that can compete in camp and if he doesn't make the team we can keep him on a "futures or practice squad" type until he is ready and a bigger need arises!
I guess we will see what happens!
Newsflash: Digger44 listens to another's opinion!
I think how you stated that we differ is right on. i have no issues with using a 3/4 on what you say. The difficulty is finding that rookie back in 3/4 that can compete in camp. can it be done? yes, but it is tough and we dont have the best history in doing so. I like duckett because he can compete in camp and is not a complete shot in the dark like a 3/4 rb would be.
