[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878778"] You didn't account for the cap aspect of my argument. Even if you can find room on your game day roster for 4 RBs given their special teams contributions, or if you need an extra guy to run your wishbone square dance down by the goal line ;)), I don't think you pay somebody $2.3 mil to run the ball 27 times in a season as in the Wilson comparison at rock bottom pay. Williams has not been a special teams stallwart if that makes any difference. His 121 special teams snaps last season ranked 17th. on the team while being a 35% offensive snap count guy. For perspective, Summers was the team leader with 310 special teams snaps. If you're having difficulty covering all the bases with that last game day spot, you'd play Summers who is highly unlikely to take an defensive snap than a 4th. RB who's highly unlikely to touch the ball even if he's the #3 supplanting Ervin as your injury emergency. Hey, you get your emergency #3 in Ervin for free since he's already a lock to return kicks. If the Packers hired LaFleur to be a Shanahan clone that would be a horrible mistake, just as the somebodys hiring Patricia or McDaniel expecting a Belichick clone would have made horrible mistakes. You want a guy who stands on the shoulders of giants, if we can call Shanahan and Belichick that, develop their own vision, and not walk in their shadows. Otherwise what you get is mere plagiarism devoid of creativity, adaptability, maturation, evolution. Copying what has been somebody else's path to success will never get you to the top of the mountain. The guys you'll find up there have evolved their own methods and innovations, the ones who leave competitors scratching their heads, like how the hell in the year 2019 do you score 37 points against a 13-3 team while throwing the ball only 8 times? The LaFluer/Rodgers partnership, and a partnership it is, must be, and should be whether you like it or not, is off to a good start from this perspective. We have a lot of folks saying that 13-3 was smoke and mirrors, the stats say it simply should not have been. That's the real secret--winning in ways people can't understand. [/QUOTE]
