Yeah and one of them is already on the team and he costs nothing.

I have to ask, is McKinnon a better fit than Dion Lewis? Lewis had better numbers as a runner 5.0 vs 3.9 Can catch the ball out of the backfield (although McKinnon wins the yds per catch 8.9 vs. 6.7), and can pass protect. I don't mind the pick up, but I think we overpaid on this one. Lewis came cheaper, could have upped the ante and still pay less for a proven back 4/23M vs 4/32M. McKinnon is 2 years younger. 25 vs 27(?).

Lewis is 3 yrs older and has battled injuries throughout his career. McKinnon is also about 20 lbs bigger than him.

Also you have to look at the actual contracts not the media numbers before saying anything

Arian Foster wasn't a big back but he had the power to fight inside as well. You don't need a massive back, just someone that can keep the wheels moving.


My worry is that this precludes them from dipping into an amazing draft class of RBs loaded with complete, 3 down RBs who can get you yards inside and outside.



If their plan is to still go RB somewhat early and move on from Williams then I am down.

Dude. You literally said "you don't give someone 30 million to split carries."

I know everyone is excited about the direction of this franchise. But people need to take a step back.

This is an awful contract for a player that should be making a third of what he signed for.

Add Earl Mitchell, Malcolm Smith, and Kyle Juszyzk to the mix and you've got a track record of overpaying for mediocre players/unimportant positions.

And I love everything Garoppolo, but time and again we're seeing franchises succeed when QBs are on their rookie contracts and they can use that cap space to build the rest of the team. 49ers could have gone that route, but opted to pay big at the QB position. Eagles and Rams are prime examples.

Pump the brakes.

Lol.

Lol he brings up earl Mitchell's contract what? His cap hit is like $3.8 million wow just awful.

What a joke...people actually think players don't get overpaid a little in FA? Less then 24 hrs ago everyone was whining about not signing anyone NOW everyone is whining that we did...I see why we get called the whiners

If people can't open their eyes and see what Mckinnon will actually be in this offense (not just a RB) then I don't know what to tell ya.

I don't give to flying f**k if he gets yards on the ground or in the air but he's gonna happen in this system.

I hate how some people just nitpick little things ... he mentioned Mitchell and other people ... why just focus on Mitchell?? Yeah that's 3-4 million u can save by drafting 6th/7th rounded to fill that hole and Roll over the $ instead of spending on redundant position !

Juice got paid what?? 5mil per year ? Because he was offensive weapon?? Lol.. he got 300 yards receiving !

I thought Shanahans specialty is finding rbs in draft... So many good rb's coming out this year .. sorry I just don't see reason to spend 30mil on someone that was 3rd on his teams depth chart!

Look at belichick how he builds his team, I don't see many overpaid players!

Yes but added bonus would have been Dion Jimmy G familiarity

I agree with this. They need a bigger back. I was looking back at Kyle's OC days and Alfred Morris is really the only big back (220 Lbs) he's had. He had 1600 yards in '12 but that was also the pistol/read option in fused RGIII year.

It's funny, over in R/NFL you have Viking fans telling us we got a good player. We got fans of other teams talking about how he's gonna flourish in Kyle's system. Then you come to the webzone and people are having a damn meltdown .

Im not worried about the contract. How do yall not know by now to wait until the actual details of it come out before judging it?

So in this scenario, does his pro bowl center sustain an injury, does 8 of his 11 or so runs fail to get back to the LOS and is his defense s**tting up yards at almost a 600 yard pace? Oh and does his pro bowl Qb having an all time season take a ridiculously bad sack? All of these factors had a had in the playcalling down the stretch in that SB.

I think a major issue is that New England took away the outside zone and forced them inside. What I'd like to see is a more well rounded RB that you can trust to take it inside and pick up those tough yards.


Right now you have three of the exact same back types. Its going to be disappointing if that isn't addressed via the draft b at some point in time I can see it coming back to bite this team.

Pretty simple get rid of Williams (or trade him) and pickup a in-between the tackle runner...this draft is full of them...I don't see many RBs that have Mckinnon's Skill set though.

McKinnon/rookie and bredia there it is

True, but a 3 yrs age difference is a big deal for the RB position.
