I dont think the backup is a done deal right now though. That will be determined in camp and in the preseason games. I think the loser will get traded for a late rd pick.

The BeatHard vs Mullins battle in training camp and pre-season is going to be interesting. I hope *both* backup QB's show well so that either one of them can get us a possible midround or higher trade pick.

Pretty much an admission that signing Mehkinnon was a mistake.

Pretty much nothing like that actually.

Post of the week right here.

McK and TC will be the top RB's. I loved what Breida brought injuries and all. But he will be insurance if either of those guys goes down. Mostert will be back to being the ST Ace he is. And that's not a bad thing. We don't want to see our depth starting again this year.

Cheap, knows Shanahan's System, and with Brieda not being able to stay on the field this is a great move IMO

Yes. I could envision us being the best rushing team in the NFL with 3 of these guys having fresh legs throughout the season.

I mean its a lot better than having Wilson and Morris out there

Prob need better OG depth and more late game leads for this to happen. Depending on if they get another bargain OG vet or a mid-round rookie it's possible.
So are we keeping 4 or 5 RBs om the 53?

Jet, Cheetah, Coleman, Mustang, and Wilson?

Who will be the odd man out?

4.
Wilson will likely be odd man out, barring a major pre-season injury to any of them.

Didn't realize he's the size of a WR. I'm liking the Coleman signing but hating the Jet failure.

Why is jet a failure for tearing his acl? It's not like he played all year and averages 2 yds per carry

I mean his acquisition is a failure. He may have all the potential in the world but he is still unproven and we cannot wait for that kind of s**t anymore. Move on and move forward and keep players who play so that we can quickly evaluate them and make quick decisions on whether to keep or acquire better players. Tevin Coleman signing should tell you everything.

Getting injured does not equal being a failure'
After having to retool his entire playbook when his pass-catching back went down, Shanny isn't making the same mistake twice.

I love reading all these posts/opinions/facts. My prediction is we keep 4 RB's because we will only have 2 Qb's active on game day. Mullens will be back on the PS. Just cuz we had to stretch this past year doesn't mean we will next year. But our brass is finding a way to have better backups if we do. McK, MB, TC, Most active on Gamedays

You dont think another team would claim Mullens? I dont see anyway he is on the PS

This !! Mullens would get scooped up quickly if he was on our practice squad.
So we have 3 starting rbs

And we have no one decent at db except an old Sherman

Ford trade was good. Other 2 were bad. And ward is awful

Ok but again, are we upset our third stringer gets picked up? We don't need a third string QB this year we hope. But we don't plan on keeping him on the roster at the cost of someone else making the game day roster do we?

Mullens isn't the 3rd stringer. He remained the starter after CJ was healthy.
He was last year. But with the season lost they gave the kid a chance. He performed well. Our last 6 games were preseason for this year. I believe Beathard is locked in at number 2. They knew what/who he was. It was like Mullens was given his chance because Kyle is cool as breath mints. Lol

I doubt Beathard is currently locked in at number 2. I love the kid's toughness, but he is way too slow on his reads and release.
