Meanwhile? Have we given up on Bernard and Hill? Can we ration minutes for 3 RBs in the era where you use one ball carrier at a time? .
This..... is a leap of faith. Hey..... Burfict was a undrafted because he racked up penalties.
He IS a STAR. then..... Manziel.....you CAN screw up the golden opportunity. The Bengals DID vet Mixon. Clues are he learned something.
Valid points on 3 running backs, but seems to be the trend of the NFL right now. But, the bigger issue is Bernard likely will not be 100% in 2017 as he recovers form major knee surgery. Add in Hill's rookie contract ends in 2017 and makes the pick not only smart for now, but for the future.
Free Agency ain't over until it is over.
