I agree, I've been calling him a slot receiver for a couple years now. When you need multiple real RBs kind of competing for snaps this year I just don't know how you can justify a niche back like Dunbar who is basically just good at running routes and catching balls. He sucks running the ball and isn't really that elusive in the open field.
All the man wants is a paycheck. I think he feels nothing for the game nor does he have any passion for playing.
I don't even think it's an injury. I think it's a lazy ass player packing it in because he knows he won't get cut. It's football, you get hit and when you get hit things get sore.
You can't make this shit up. He had 3 fucking carries and he's nursing an injury.
If we are smart, we'll dump this bitch and find someone who could actually be useful. Pierre Thomas maybe?
I first read this out of context and thought for sure you were talking about McFadden.
Absolutely. They have enough question marks at the position. McFadden can't stay on the field and coaching staff pet cat Lance "Reggie Bush" Dunbar isn't exactly an iron man either. I would be fine with solid but unspectacular Pierre Thomas. He is a vet that can tote it 10-12 times a game, catches the ball well out of the backfield, and (I assume) can pick up the blitz.

I'm not even so picky to need a vet. I just want a solid reliable dude that can run it up there and get the 3-4 yards. It's why I've suggested that I'd rather have a guy like Gus Johnson on the roster then Dunbar. Gus is at least a solid built RB who has looked good in short yardage situations. He isn't fast by any means but he looks like he can do everything else well enough and probably would be fine getting 15-20 touches in a game if someone got hurt. I'm sure we could find a similar or better young RB during cuts time but I'm just sick of these novelty RBs like Dunbar who aren't really a RB at all.
The only reason I say "vet" is because I want someone who has proven that they can pick up the blitz in the NFL. Apparently McFadden is pretty good at it (well, that's what Broaddus says anyway) but that doesn't mean anything if he is inactive with a sore vag most weeks.
Broaddus is so far up Jerry's ass he doesn't know where he starts and Jerry ends. How else do you explain a scout of any credence (former or not) to be constantly pimping this guy.
All we need to get the Jackson you describe is a time machine.
Feh.
It could happen but if it does it won't be until TC is over and one of the current three RBs is down. That's assuming he will still be available.
