The thing that slowed down Kamara last year is the same thing that slowed down the entire offense ... a decimated offensive line and little to no threat in the passing game. Kamara is only 26 years old. Not quite approaching the end of a career, yet.

Here's our aging RB last year taking the pass from our QB that supposedly can't deliver a touch pass.

Yes, I said aging and stand by it. Running backs generally have short careers and he is starting season 6. It doesn't matter if he is 27 or 37, 6 years at that position is aging.

Passive aggressive again. Taking one positive play out of how many plays to prove some non-relevant point about Winston and how great he is, and that our RB isn't old. Known scientific fact, everyone ages gradually, then that one day is celebrated every year.

This is the same way you try to let everyone know you are right about MT.

Honestly, to give you the same type of passive aggressive response, we are so fortunate to have the mountain come to us so we don't have to go to the mountain. That is the persona you portray on the thread.

If I need to dissect the fact that until Winston does something to counter-balance his legacy, he will carry that legacy. Bad judgement, in a nutshell, without quoting stats.

Don't worry, I'll quote those stats for you. 33 TD's, over 5000 yards passing, and 30 interceptions in 2019 with their own 29th ranked scoring defense giving up over 28 points per game. And the bad judgement, in my opinion, was the "no risk it, no biscuit" mantra of coach Bruce Arians that had Winston throwing the ball into danger, by design, time and time again.

I really think this is the easiest position to address. There’s a surplus of running backs in the NFL. Find you a partner and trade for one.

Alexander Mattison
Darrell Henderson
J.D. McKissisic

There’s a lot of back ups that could come in and hold it down. Send a pick and let’s get it going.

I think the Saints may be just laying the groundwork right now waiting for the August 1st court date which will hopefully shed some light on the timetable. Maybe building a viable speed dial list.

Agreed rez. While these guys won’t be able to “replace” AK, they likely are better than what is on the roster for backups now. I’d like to as a move made sooner than later though.

Agreed, maybe not with the choices, but the last sentence sums it up...let's get it going.

We may need a bruiser back depending on whether our new O-Line is ready for Prime Time. It is one unproven part of our team.

I think we may be waiting for the date when their salary isn't full guaranteed. Possibly we're waiting on cuts too.
