Back to full strength and explosiveness the year after When Breece Comes back the Jets should Keep Robinson Carter Breece and Probably Knight , In this scenario they don't have to work Breece to hard on his return letting him get back into the mix slowly. Hall is Proof having a dynamic back Like I've been stating for years (for us to draft) does make a huge difference in an offense. It was Hall and the defense that took this team to 5-2 and I don't think there is any way to dispute that . If you look at guys like Faulk , Tomlinson its obvious they were the catalysts behind the success of their offenses and made it easy for Young QB's like Rivers and Warner to thrive in the early stages of their careers. Most backs suffer wear an tear getting beat down and are not the same so I understand the point of not using a high pick but you then can make the same case for any other position because everyone is prone to injury and in the case of QB's we've all seen how that turns out most of the time since it always seems like a 50/50 shot QB's will have what it takes upstairs to succeed we are living that right now as we have been for the past 20 + years or for the entire existence of the franchise after Joe. Breece suffered an ACL injury that is repairable fairly routinely at this stage .... that does not mean he wont be durable for the long haul like some backs constantly dealing with soft tissue injuries and various aches and bruises they just can't play through. There have been plenty of backs that have been durable not going to name them all we are well aware of who they are so we can be optimistic Breece will be that durable guy that gives you 8-10 solid years or like in the case of some of the greats even eclipse 10 years. So my entire point here is if you can get a dynamic back that transforms your entire offense you make that pick and take your chances just like you do with the QB position and other so called premium positions because a great RB is so damn valuable to a franchise in so many different ways its a no brainer IMHO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmouth Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 2 minutes ago, Butterfield said: I sure hope you are right. Well I can give you a scenario. Lets say you have a talented team that's in contention for a SB Usually that window is about 3 years and many factors come into play for me saying 3 years. Obviously some teams can do this for years teams like the Patriots the Rams The Niners the Ravens always seem to be in the mix. So if you can get a dynamic back that can turn your offense from a good offense into a somewhat unstoppable offense like the Chiefs had or the Rams with Faulk IMHO you make that move 100 out of 100 times and spend the high draft pick to make it happen. Then you have a young fresh back that can probably get you over the hump and win a SB. When Faulk came to the end of his career which was a long one you could see that Rams offense just lose its steam they were not the same with a 10 + year old Faulk as they were when they first aquired him and he was still young. I think that's why Joe Douglas waited until this year when the Jets were a much better built team before he pulled the trigger on a guy like Hall knowing he could not only be dynamic but offer a tremendous check down for Zach and also take pressure off him. I'm 100 % sure this team would be nowhere close to 5-2 without Hall the numerous 3 and outs after he got hurt was not a good thing and hopefully James Robinson can fill in and keep us on track or its going to get ugly, not trying to be negative here its just how I see it since Hall was such a beast the last 4-5 games/ So I find it funny people )and rightfully so) are fine with taking numerous QB's who are just as much of a crap shoot and then don't get that RB that can offer the young QB so much in his development. They go hand in hand and they are both in reality a crap shoot but I think having one without the other is a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
