I don't think we need to be looking too strongly at Hamilton. He was cut and made the practice squad and moved up only when we needed another back. Don't get me wrong..... I've been pulling for Hamilton since he first came to the team. I'm just thinking that if Bell was injured the last half of the season then he may have more to offer.

I agree, that didnt cost us the game, but it could have.

Considering Bush, Thomas, and Bell all missed games with an injury last season, I think we would do well to bring in a RB through a mid draft pick. Youth, fresh hunger, and fresh legs would be a good thing.

Bell does need to be a better blocker - I agree.

Bell is well suited to be a running AND blocking FB (Ironhead comes to mind - damn do I miss him) BUT - Bell doesn't want to be a FB. That hurts his value to us.

No hate here, a very good player for the Saints.

Hate - not the right word.

Upgrade. That's what we should be looking to do. If we can't then he stays.

Is that a picture of David Patten dreaming of catching a TD in the Superbowl??

I think it's all going to come down to $$$. We can keep Hamilton cheaper and probably get the same production. No hate on Bell, just business.

agreed...imo that is part of why his production dropped...teams saw that it would be a run play and could key on him
