If only Ted had been clairvoyant enough to know he number 1-4rbs would get hurt so he could have a pro bowler waiting on the practice squad. Worst GM ever

His decision to have only 2 running backs (3 with Ripkowski) seemed strange at the time. He should have gone into the season with more depth at RB. Both Starks and Lacy had an injury history.Originally Posted by Zool
Crockett and Jackson were 3 and 4. Both lost for the season.
Trying to argue those two were NFL Calibur ? I think the issue was they were our #3 and #4 RB's for those who want to argue we were short there. I think they both stunk. You can argue we didn't see much; that is fine. There was a reason they were undraftable.
I think what they could find on wavers had equal talent.
And the guy who turned out to be their #5 RB in Montgomery was far more talented than either.
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
Do a league wide check of the RBs in the NFL and let me know how many 3rd and 4th stringers are good. If you want to argue that Lacy never stays healthy then fine. I did hear quite a bit of complaining when 3 RBs were drafted this year. Cake and eat it too I guess.
I think t was solid to draft 3 RB's. If we hit on 2 that really helps and all three of those guys IMO have more ability than Don Jackson and the other dude.
Off top of my head without even thinking...
San Diego...Phily....Jets...Lions....Cards...Steelers. ..Patriots...come to mind as the cup not being as bare. But I'm too lazy to look up all the rosters....I'm sure I'd be able to add more if I did.

In the North alone:
How about Jerrick McKinnon and Matt Asiata?
How about Theo Riddick as a #2?
Maybe you prefer Jeremy Langford or Jaquiz Rogers?
Two of the draftees might turn out not to be NFL caliber. Its insane what disbelievers about Ted expect. Starting caliber bodies 2 or 3 deep on a 53 man roster.
OK, name the 2016 3rd and 4th stringer for each of those teams. I will get you started by noting the second stringer: Woodhead, Sproles, Powell, Forsett/Abdullah, C Johnson, DeAngelo Williams, James White (Dion Lewis was hurt until Week 10)
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
The original 53 man roster included Lacy, Starks, Burks, Ripkowski and Montgomery (yes, I think they viewed him as a future RB at that time, because they did last year.) That group was revised just a few days later when they got Jhurell Pressley off waivers and released Burks. Jackson was signed in the original group of practice squad players. So, they went into the season with three legit RBs on the roster plus Montgomery and Ripkowski, with Jackson on the practice squad.
