That right there shows you why we signed him.

Garcon
Goodwin
Taylor
Bourne
Mckinnon

These guys will be tough to stop at the same time for a defense

Our base would be

Garcon
Goodwin
Kittle
Juice
Mckinnon

Are we running or passing? What ever the defense thinks, they're wrong!

No.

Right. He's not tiny lol

Funny when fans just look at a stat sheet, nothing else, and act all incredulous.
I think it's hilarious how many ppl complain about the contracts of players before they see the player play in this scheme, he's a perfect fit for what Shanahan wants Obviously, he must've wanted Jerick at all cost with a mind set of how amazing he will perform in his offense..and with that being said I'm excited to see him play and go crazy..

Why.... pay.... so..... much....?

Trust in Paraag, once the real numbers come out I am sure he has to be an elite RB to reach 7.5

Sounds like 4 other teams were bidding hard too...basically Juice 2.0 scenario.

Go look at how the Saints you Kamara....IMO that's how he will be used. 120ish carries and 80+ targets.

We need a big Mark Ingram like RB which we can now get in the mid rds.

Love this signing the more I think about it

Not a fan of signing unless he learns to follow his blocks and stop running horizontal

ZBS is all about running horizontal.

Except you still need to know how to read blocks, which is Mackinnons biggest weakness

Exactly.

Forget the contract, dude just sucks. I would have much rather paid Hyde $15 mil of that was all it took. McKinnon does NOTHING better than Hyde

If he can catch the ball he'll already be better at that than Hyde.

RE perfect fit


Joe Williams was handpicked by KS to fit his scheme. How'd that go?

He is now the 4th highest paid RB. 4th. This isn't the end of the world but this is a big overpay.
Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but I was thinking about our running back situation and was thinking about Joe Williams again. I went and re-read his NFL.com scouting report. The scouting reports usually give a comparable NFL player.

Joe Williams' NFL comparable? Jerick McKinnon!
I'm not sure about this one.
