Quote:I don't buy into every stat I see. I trust my eyes and I see a tough, strong, "run you over" type of RB that has breakaway speed. That's what I want and it isn't going to change. Period.

 

Mixon might very well be the best all around RB in the class, but he ruined any shot he had of being a Jaguar when he cold-cocked that girl. This is a team that takes character into consideration. He's not coming here and the sooner you accept that, the easier it will be for you to move on. Cook is almost as big a "scumbag." I doubt they will consider him either. As for McCaffrey, I simply don't get why some people are enamored with him. He's smallish, he's not a power runner, he is not an in between the tackles type of runner. On top of that, he needs to be in a two back system to succeed. We've already shown that we don't have another competent RB on our roster. Drafting McCaffrey would be an exercise in futility. 

It's a good thing that the numbers agree with what the eyes say then. He is a tough, strong, "run you over" type of RB that has breakaway speed...once he gets to the 2nd level. If he doesn't get blocking he goes down for negative yards far too often and far too easily. 

 

Also, I don't know how someone who trusts your eyes like you say wouldn't like McCaffrey. He runs through the between the tackles impressively. You'll want a goal line/short yardage back with him, but he can be the early down and passing down back just fine.
