The Texans have had issues with running backs staying relevant after their first year starting.

Seems we've had that issue for a while now as well.

He's not better than Yeldon. Not even close really.

What? If you would have said Yeldon is a better pass catching RB I could have taken you serious but the "not even close" comment is well...not even close!

Bringing competition to the RB room. We'll see who survives to make the roster.
What a couple of duds. Way to go. I sure hope one or both of these dead beats can be cut if a decent RB comes in from the draft.
Hard worker, a lot of heart.
Liked watching him on Training Camp.
But... at some point the energy runs out when you live on the fringe.
Rooting for him, but not sure he's going to be a factor. Maybe in a role he'll continue to produce in workmanlike fashion.

Special teams maven, it's been suggested.
From a Bears fan.
"Decent running back, better special teams player. Good pick up."
All meh signings. Fournette needs to be better if not it really doesn't matter. Draft someone though 100%

If you fling enough stuff at the wall, eventually something will stick.

We'll see. A lot of poo has been flung at the walls at TIAA!
Cunningham makes sense to compete for a backup role in DeFilippo's expected offense.
He caught a pretty good number of passes out of the backfield in St.Louis a few years back and had a good catch rate percentage doing so. He was used as a third down blocker in Chicago and fans there considered him the only reliable blocking back on the roster from what I'm reading. He should compete with a rookie for Yeldon's role in the RB corps.

Just my opinion, but I think Cunningham was signed for more of a special teams role than a backup.

Houston's Lamar Miller he had a 4.6 yards per carry average vs Blue's 3.3 yards per carry average in 2018.
If Houston had such a bad Oline, then Lamar Miller must be the next coming of Walter Payton.

Lamar Miller? Did we sign him? Haha, maybe we should be signing Cam Newton as RB because he smoked Miller's 'Walter Peyton' performance last year!
I was talking about the hate for Blue. The dude is decent depth, not a Fred Taylor replacement or the second coming of Walter Peyton. In any case, how many of the Jags RBs list higher than Blue rushing last year?
Did you honestly just try and stick up for the tinhorns [BLEEP] O-line? The triage unit the Jags put on the field last year ranked higher!
