Trading real assets for another pass-catching RB, whose 27 with a history of domestic violence, and who is making 5M/Y, is not optimal. 
Josh Jacobs costs less and better fits what we need.

    I'm sorry I brough such a depressing topic into the blog.  A little back story without too much detail. I met my friend 12 years ago during an AF commissioning program. He was on top of the world

    We (the EMB) currently sit at just over 940,000 posts. We're on pace for about 40,000 posts for the month of May. So it's looking like we'll break 1,000,000 posts within the first couple of weeks of J

I did not know that. That's......not good. Still, they'll be a ball control team with Taylor, and Pittman is ascending. An average team at best, most likely. 

It’s funny. I’ve rooted for the Colts (not against the Eagles obviously but in general) since Peyton Manning got there. I liked Luck, and Rivers, and of course Wentz. But now? Nah, f em. 

PS. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Jags win that division.

False

Kareem Hunt has a higher career yards per carry, with more carries, and is a way better receiver.

For a late round pick as @HazletonEagle said, you take Hunt all day.

The money matters. Hunt makes 2x Jacobs. 

Also, Hunt has ran behind the Cleveland OL. It's a top 5 unit. Jacobs has been behind the Raiders' bottom 10 unit. As a runner, Jacobs is better.

No question though, Hunt is a better receiving back. We have Scott/Gainwell. We don't need it. 

Will the Browns CBs be out again for this practice?

Hunt’s a thumper, though. We need that.

Another way a running QB and a gimmicky offense Hurts the team...........................

 

 

Les is a moron. Minshew was one of the best qbs in the league in play action passes when he was with the Jags. If they really wanted to practice against play action, they could have the second team run it. 

And you should do some basic research before repeating nonsense that you think supports your narrative.

Re-read what HE posted.   It doesn't say what you thought it did.

The compensation also matters.

Jacobs, first round pick will require more in a trade than Hunt.

Before @RLC chimes in, both guys are the same 5'10" 216 pounds

Hunt will get more back. The Browns like Hunt. McDaniels doesn't seem like to like Jacobs.

Miles Sanders is 5'11, 211. He's not a thumper. Size helps for sure, but play-style also matters. Hunt is not soft, but he definitely tries to hit home runs.

Saints Packers, Patriots Panthers tonight.

Probably tune it to see how Baker/Darnold look.

I'm a big Baker guy. I believe he can flirt with a top 10QB if healthy, would love to see him here and think he got a raw deal in Cleveland. 

Starters are playing?

Probably some in the Panthers/Patriots game.  I'm looking forward to the grudge match.

Keep forgetting about Brooks. Generational talent inside, hope he's rarin to go now...Seamolu to be swing guy then...

RBs Dime a Dozen, find a guy that fits your scheme, lot of em will be on the street shortly.

While I agree Brandon Brooks was a generational talent, given his retirement, I don’t expect him to play Sunday. (Tongue firmly in cheek).  I was referring to Kennedy Brooks, UDFA from Oklahoma. Brooks won’t wow with his speed, 4.59 and doesn’t have that burst step that made Westbrook (4.57) such a weapon, but like Brian, he has good vision and really knows how to use his blockers.  I was disappointed we got an overdose of Huntley last week.  Huntley doesn’t have vision and abandons his blockers and tries to take things outside and beat the defense to the corner.  Might work for him at NMS but not in the NFL.
