The guy I like is Bucky Irving. Home run speed to complement Conner.

Rondale says hi

 

[football karma]

i dont think the standard here is "Is he any good?"

the standard is "Is he better than Tony Jones?"

 

[Totally_Red]

Let’s be honest here, we still have 7 more games to play this season, and the likelihood of Conner staying healthy is small at best. The Cardinals will no doubt draft a RB fairly early in the 2024 draft, but we need help now. He’s a solid pick up at this juncture in the season.

He is a big step down from Conner.

No need to draft running backs early
There are good ones in round 3 and 4.

Tony Jones? That is not a sopranos name?

early... thats round 3...where most of the decent backs come from...any earlier than that and dude needs to be an instant star

 

[Krangodnzr]

Well one of them got waived, but do you.

Right because players are always cut only because of ability.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I'm just gonna wait and watch the guy play before taking any kind of stance - we could definitely use the help tho

 

[Krangodnzr]

Maybe? It’s probably because he’s so good that he was sitting in free agency deep into training camp.

Right because players that are cut coming off big contracts will play for peanuts. He still got paid a decent contract even after sitting for awhile which suggests he was likely looking for even more.

Of course he’s a step down from Conner, but that’s not the question. If Conner is injured, which he often is, then is he better than Demarcado & Ingram. I say he definitely is. When I say draft a RB “relatively” early, I’m not talking about a 1st or 2nd round pick.

I actually think Demercado was pretty good all things considered.

 

[Hoodhero]

K1 needs a new check down best friend since Chase left. Carter needs a real NFL qb cause Rodgers only lasted 4 snaps. It could be a win win if it works out

 

[ProdigalSun]

Can’t be worse than Ingram

 

[Cheesebeef]

Can’t be worse than Ingram

I’d usually say on the Cardinals, it can and likely will always be worse… but not here.

Ingram is the worst running back I’ve ever seen.

 

[PJ1]

I actually think Demercado was pretty good all things considered.

I agree. Very patient runner and follows blocks well. Not fast but a strong runner.

 

[PACardsFan]

Yes, Demercado was pretty good. Ingram has been a huge disappointment. It’s just that you can’t count on Conner to stay healthy & Demercado cannot handle the full load if and when Conner goes down.

 

[TheCardFan]

We added a solid piece to our 2024 roster without giving anything up.

We will still need to draft a RB with high upside.

 

[BritCard]

He has that snap lead because he was their hurry-up junk-time RB. The NY Jets sucked almost as bad as the Clayton Tune Cardinals did.

Weird then that he has more carries and more targets in the 1st half of games.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

What's the deal with Williams?

I thought he showed some promise when he got a chance

Injured

Injured

Is he able to return this season?

They released him with an injury settlement a week ago

 

[BullheadCardFan]

They released him with an injury settlement a week ago

Thanks

Not weird at all if one dug deep and saw that they have been outscored 117 to 61 in the first half of their games this season. One tends to play catch up a lot if you get behind so quickly.

Their average deficit at halftime is 6 points. And they have only had one lead at the half all year.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

I agree. Very patient runner and follows blocks well. Not fast but a strong runner.

Good vision too. Not like Emmitt Smith vision but above average.

And he's averaging 5.3 yards a carry on 50 carries. People can phoo phoo his pedigree all they want but he's earned more playing time.

 

[akg102]

Love this signing. Wanted to draft him when he was coming out. Should be a great change of pace for JC.
