I would also add that BDH just fits what the TIts want to do (although personally I would rather we pass to set up the run). It is a good fit....don't screw it up Tits.
tf you talking about? Henry’s only had 4 games this season where he averaged under 4 yac.
You don’t give deals base on what people deserve. You give deals based on what makes you a better team in the long run. That is how the patriots have dominated this sport for 20 years. That’s it, that is all.
We scored 28 points against one of the better defenses and almost won the game without him. So we might not need 6’3” 250 to be a good team. Super winner this year likely won’t have a back that big.
Very likely no one will replace his production. You are right on that, but that is not the point we who think we should move on are making. The point is the team can replace enough of the production to still be successful and make up for it by spending that money in other areas. Yes, you can spend the money and have an awesome weapon but spending that kind of money on even a great running back has been shown to be a mistake time and time again. For every example you can give where it has worked out I can give you five where it didn’t. So no one is denying how good Henry is or how unique. The point is it doesn’t matter and spending too much on him is unwise.
And yes, you let other teams foolishly overpay for players...that is how you become more successful than them. Name the top team that have foolishly over paid for players. I will wait.
Thats not the only reason theyve dominated
Filming opponents sidelines, deflating footballs, and other stuff has helped them
Henry absolutely earned a second contract from us. Its good to reward home grown talents
Seriously? I hope you don’t really believe that.
I am not saying he hasn’t played well enough to get one. But we don’t have to give him one. Someone will pay him. I just don’t think we should. Is the money best spent on him, or could we replace him in the draft and get better value at other places? Cool with disagreeing. It will be interesting to see what JR does. It will tell me a lot about the type of GM he is.
Hes going to reward the guy he drafted who has been the ONLY RB hes added whos been good
Well Murray was good for a bit.
I think you are probably right. I hope you are wrong.
If some team will pay him $14-15 mil a year, I think we have to congratulate him and let him go. If we can get him for $9-10, I think we have to keep him. $9-10 would make him the 5th highest paid RB.
Oh yea forgot about him. That last year of his was very forgettable.
I think at this point what Henry has done outshines Murrays 1 good yr.
Theres a lot of tread on those tires, Henry is in his prime right now.
We never push our cap to the limit, why do ppl care if we over pay? We get a top flight RB
Hes currently top 3 in yards and TDs at his position. Be ready to see him paid accordingly
Oh and he also happens to be outplaying the highest paid RBs as well
No doubt. A pick swap for a elite rusher even if for only a year was a solid move. Also let Henry rest a little after the 400carry seasons at bama.
But Henry is hands down better.
Yes, he is. So I think it's very likely he gets paid. Probably just not by us. $15 mil for a RB will put us in another CJ2K position where we can no longer use free agency to fix holes in the lineup. Hate to see us go back down the path of sub 500 records for several years.
Paying CJ was wrong only cause he floundered on contact after being paid
Henry is 247lbs, little bit different styles
Henry is more consistent than CJ ever was.
Cj2k wasn’t really a running game in the traditional sense....he was always trying to break a long one, and did often, but his style resulted in lots of 2nd and 3rd and longs.
Murray’s last season was only forgettable because of injuries. His first season was really good and looked even better because of that s**t RB stable of Sankey, Andrews, and Mccluster for the 2 seasons prior.
