Jerick 'Jet' McKinnon is a Chief.

Thing is, he's not being signed to run between the tackles. He's being signed to get outside or cut back at speed through a gap.

The key there is you want a guy who is decisive and does not hesitate. That isn't McKinnon from what I've seen so I'm really confused by the fit as anything more than a change of pace back but you can find a change of pace back for a lot less than $7+ mil a year, especially this year.

Yup summed it up nicely imo Phx. The fit seems odd and strangely expensive. I am sure the team will write the contract in a team friendly way, but today we downgraded imo.

Then Kyle can use Brieda can speed for offense score. But we need looking for stud rush!!! McKinnon is not rush yards.

For the love of god people stop looking at it as him being JUST a RB. he's a OW ( a real one) he's not gonna be a 1K RB he's gonna be a 1,200 line of scrimmage guy which is huge in today's game.
team him up with a Royce Freeman and we're gonna be very dangerous.

Who the hell is Royce Freeman?

Pass on Freeman:

Doesn't always play to his size. Too willing to eat contact rather than dole it out. Can be slowed by arm tackles. Hip tightness prevents him from consistently slipping leg tackles on perimeter runs. Jump cuts gain limited ground. Appears to anticipate contact at times when attacking run creases. Below average elusiveness once defenders close him out in the open field. Tires are missing some tread. Has had over 1000 touches during his career. Has become more of a grinder than a slasher as his career has moved forward. Lacks an explosive "get-away" gear to pull away from tacklers.

Oh thanks for copying and pasting his weakness from his draft profile lol.

So what were they expecting from Juice when they paid him that much? 700 yards rushing and 50 catches? Why can't they still spend money on OL, they have a ton of it. What they DIDN'T spend on CB (sherman's deal) they put towards a OW.

Stop looking at it as he's just a RB...look at what Kamara did with the Saints. 120 carries and 100 targets...I don't expect him to be as good, but 1,200 yards from scrimmage isn't out of the question. That's worth $7.5 million per yr IMO. You got guys like Ryan Grant getting 4 yr $30 million dollar deals and I don't see him sniffing 1,200 yards from scrimmage ever.

Now draft a dude like Chubb/Freeman and we're set at RB for the next 4 yrs.

NY knows what's up.

With the amount of money he's getting I wonder how it effects the draft and how late we wait to draft one?

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

Free agency should fill holes on our roster and the draft is is to take the BPA.

If we are drafting for need we are in big trouble.
