History shows us he is more likely to be one of those guys than McCafferey, who himself could fall into a similar boat. People here hate this take, I get it, but the stats just say you are more likely to lose than win on re-signing backs because the data shows the decline is a real thing for almost all backs after 5-6 years of usage.
Agreed. I like Joe. I even hyped him up in the draft forum and was happy that we took him. But people that think this is a good deal simply aren't playing the odds. With a strong FA class next year, the draft, the franchise tag, and the fact that the cap is going to go down next year, I wouldn't have given him close to that.
