Probably so he doesn't hurt anyone when they try to hit him.
This guy is about to be unleashed come week 1

I still don't like the fact that we over paid the guy... he's good.. yes. but he's not worth that much..
I think BellDozer can do the same thing if we put him at FB and allow him to develope..

Juice can do it now. And there is no question about him "developing " I don't think we over paid for a key piece of Kyle's offense. What has Bell done in the NFL?

FA = overpaying
And you can overpay here and there, you just have to be judicious with which ones you overpay. Juice seems like a great team fit, and he'll be a great fit overall for this team.

Theyv'e ran that play like 4 times in the redzone during the preseason and so far it's dang near unstoppable. He'll be earning all that money that he's making with the 49ers. I can see him scoring a TD every game just doing that stuff.

Three games in and I don't think I've seen Juice used on 3rd down. He was the primary 3rd down back in BAL (in 3WR sets) and that's where he got a bunch of his receptions. Coming into preseason, I thought he might be the 3rd down back based off his usage in BAL and his pass blocking. Not the case so far. Kyle will use a lot of 2 back sets, but Juice not being a 3rd down back will cut into his snap count. If Hyde can catch and run like how he did on the TD, then so be it. Maybe BAL didn't have a better option than Juice so that's why he was the 3rd down back.

He's gotten plenty of chances. Can't run routes, can't block, he looks like a wasted pick.

Disagree.
The season has to play out to see how he is used and what he does.
