    Ummmm, I Think It May Be Time To Sign Gordon,,,,,,

    I was 1 that said trade Gordon we don't need him,,,,,, But given all the injuries that are mounting up it just seems like we are lacking a little fizzle,,,, riding around on a flat tire. Im not saying break the bank on MG but 12 mill would be ok with me,,,,,, besides,,,, our run game is not looking 2 good as of this moment . I think we need a MG jolt?

    No time to panic here. JJ and Ekkie will be fine, especially once we get our starting O-line with Pouncey in there. Scott - Lamp - Pouncey - Scho or Feeney - Tevi gives us our best chance. TT made a generous offer to MG3...not a time to wimp out and sound like a cash register, especially when we have some big time extensions coming up...

        $12mil per year for a dude who has only eclipsed 1k yards rushing once and also has just 1 full season played in 4 years? Fuck.That.Shit.

          Since Gordon will have the same room (or lack thereof) to run through as our current backs, I'm not sure he is going to to make much difference. If anything, I would consider rescinding the offer if we could somehow trade for Williams from the Redskins and use that money on a contract for him.

            That's why we need Gordon,,, because he runs over people when there is no holes,,,, or go out and find a running back with some meat on the bone because we are gonna need it with this O_LINE !!!!

              I wish I could like your post more than once. Absolutely no friggin way do I extend Gordon for 12MM....I wouldn't have even offered 10MM. Very good receiver, has fixed fumblitis, but 1 year over 4 ypc and 1k, and durability questions does not equate to 12MM per year regardless of what he th8nks about his "greatness" and the value will of his position .

                Get some blockers out in front on the outside, and JJ will be fine. Like THIS:

                  Jackson has a better burst than Gordon and may be the better back overall.. At this point I would Trade Gordon for any serviceable LT

                    Exactly this.

                    Get a tackle who can block for Eck and JJ and we don't need Melvin, he's a luxury and we have people to pay who are needs.

                      Yes, his "greatness" was so game changing that we lost 1/3 of the games he did play in and won all 4 he didn't. :dunno: He's a solid player, but hardly a foundational piece.

                        MG needs blockers more than Eck or JJ.
