It’s just fit. Just like how you don’t use 295lb 4-3 defensive ends in 3-4 olb positions or have a bunch of really good but slower possession receivers in a deep threat offense. Can they do some aspects of it well, absolutely. Will the scheme perform as well as it could with someone having a better skill set, absolutely not.Funkster wrote:I don’t think Howard is going anywhere either but it does make some sense if they were trying to get the most value out of him before moving on, that would be now. A 3rd is fair and isn’t asking to much for a player that can stay healthy, averages 4.3 YPC and 8 TDs a year. For how innovative Nagy is, it’s nuts to think he can’t figure out how to use him. Or is it he’s just to stubborn?
It’s not that they can’t be successful with him, it’s could they be better with a different style of running back combined with the fact that they won’t put money in him long term so they could get return now vs waiting a year for a compensatory pick.
3rd is a starting point but if they had a handful of guys they like and thought would be available I think a 4th would get it done.
If it does happen I would prefer it to be a draft day trade when you know what you can grab at that moment. Bills could be a potential partner.
