I'm just curious as to why everyone thinks this guy cannot be an everydown back??? I'm not for one or the other but I would just like to hear some reasons.... Thanks :feedback:

Ohhh... I don't know.... Maybe "Lack Of Speed." for one.

I may be mis-judging my friends here, but in many cases folks tend to align themselves with big names thinking that is the best way to go. It's tough for them to look at a no-name and consider him as fine for that position. We're all looking for a Reggie Bush in our backfield and anyone else is a disappointment. Frankly, I'm anxious to see how well he does in an expanded role AND I hope to find out what a healthy Beach can do. But, as always, ANY ONE back there needs a good OL to give him a chance.
:chalflag:I like him! Like him a lot! I thought we had a great pick up trading Sammy Gado for Morency even though I love Gado so much! But, I think he's still learning and can't be a starter yet. We need someone with experience especially since McCarthy loves the run game so much

That's what I don't get..... People use these phrases like "We need someone with experience." like they know what they are talking about. What exactly does that mean???? Does it mean we HAVE to get a veteran(who is probably past his prime from carrying the ball so much) because I don't know of any veterans who are even available anymore that would be worth a damn.
Blitz pickup is probably the reason Herron will be back. But what type of experience are we talking about???? i agree Morrency needs to work on his blitz pickup but fortunatly that is something that is correctable along with his fumbles.

Agreed, but don't you think it would be prudent to have a back with experience on the roster to insert into pressure situations and to help develop other backs via showing them. Not saying sign someone to take the job away from him, just to carry some of the load until he "corrects" things that need work in his game. Dillion would work for 10 to 15 plays a game and occasionally more.
What kind of experience are we talking about... game hinging on a 3rd and 1, you need the first down... I would prefer someone that has been there before. Game isn't going the way you want, maybe you made a mistake, can he overcome that and play on?

I agree they another RB but I'm just curious why everyone assumes he can be nothing more than a backup. Last Season he didn't have a shot to be a starter. He fumbled 2 times out of his 96 carries. Not too great but that is something that is correctable.[/quote
thank you geeze. stop talking about what a player can and cannot do if he hasnt even gotten the chance yet to be our starter.
