Quote:Just don't see it. Turner was easily one of the best RB's in the NFL for a few years there. I don't think Gerhart will ever get close to that level. I would be very surprised to see him break 1K.

 

What was Turner before Atlanta?,,,,the same thing Gerhart was in Minnesota. 

 

Quote:I wouldnt mind giving up a 5th for Brown if we dont like the RBs in the draft

 

I think Brown for a 5th would be better than any RB you are going to get from the draft at this point. He's still young too. 24. 

 

Quote:Career paths?


We need a 3rd down back to catch 50 balls and move the chains and give those outside backers a match up problem.


Gerheart isnt that back. He is more like that one guy we kept bringing back every preseason to run all the running plays.

 

Yes, career paths. Turner was in a similar situation as Gerhart was in Minnesota, prior to Atlanta signing Turner. Then when Turner got his chance to start in Atlanta he blew up. Why can't Gerhart do the same? They are similar big runners with similar running style. 

 

The Jags also still have Todman as the COP back. 

 

I don't mind adding another RB thru the draft or UDFA, but theres really no rush to add one in the 4th round, thats for sure.
