Because Willis mcgahee still has a little gas left, he's a workhorse, and if he gets killed out there, so what? He has no real future. Frankly If the colts are smarter they sign him and don't give up their first rounder.

Maybe he was on the street for a reason.
Christ, the Steelers have the fan sitting in row d seat 2 running the ball for them at there next game and they didnt bother to pick him up.
There is no logical reason to sign this guy. We aren't on a playoff run, we don't need to squeeze the last ounce of football out of a vet to get over the hump to win it all.
What I'm getting at, is if these guys are serious about rebuilding why waste time with Willis He'll I would feel 100X better about these chumps if they brought Beanie Wells in. At least if he plays hard he could be around for a few years and help out, he'd be rent to own.
This shit bugs me because these are the guys that are suppose to realize this kind stuff and we are suppose to believe they can rebuild the team through the draft? What good is a ton of draft picks if the morons pulling the strings don't know what they are doing.

They're not looking to keep him past the point Dion lewis gets back. Like I said if he gets blown up who cares?
By the way this old washed up bum had a substantially better ypc average than the mighty Richardson.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

I love the Hoyer move and the Richardson trade. I was ready to stop tuning in on Sunday to see worthless bums like Weeden throw to worthless bums like little and watch "dancin' Trent" get nowhere. Now ill be glued to my seat Sunday. Maybe they'll still stink. Who knows? What I do know is they couldn't stink any worse than the last two weeks.Maybe he was on the street for a reason.

I'm excited too. I think Hoyer may well be the smartest QB on our roster & I look for him to make fast, solid decisions, but we'll see.

When is Hardesty due back?

Believe he's on Season ending IR.

Come on now people Dion Lewis is nothing more than a third down back.

Again...
Awesome if the guy comes in and throws up 7 100 yard games.... He aint coming back next year.
Who gives a shit about TRich? That's yesterday's news. For the record, i couldnt care less that TRich is gone, and they want to build. whatever, just do what they say they wanna do.
The fact of the matter is, the cupboard is empty at the running back position. Hardesty is gone, not coming back. TRich gone. Chris Obie is a 3rd String fill in at best. Lewis hasn't played a recordable down in a game for us and snapped his leg. He's on IR. Season Ending if I remember correctly. Cool if he comes in as the number one back. Then what?
This season would be the perfect time to find another back to add to the roster. Willis has about 12 games left and he's done. I honestly doubt he make it 10 games carrying the full load.
Rainey needs the ball and he doesnt need a 32 year old talking carries away from him. Bring back the kid they picked up from Houston and run it....
I guess am not seeing how your all in with the TRich trade and cool with building through the draft but signing a 32 year old throw away when they need to find depth for the future is the right choice here.
-
I could be wrong, but I see Lewis as much more than just a third down back. We'll see, but it looks like we'll see next season.

GTFO of here.
Playing to lose sucks!! I agree and what a statement to make in the new owners first year. Let's tank it for a draft pick....not a thing in that way of thinking that I consider right.

OK. I'll play along. Effectively- they are tanking it for a draft pick. Banner wouldn't answer the question- "and how does this trade make us better RIGHT NOW?" Because he can't- not without lying.
Yup, we're right in the mix of things with a 3rd string qb running the show and a starting RB we've never heard of. How many teams have dumped Willis?
BTW, I haven't forgotten all the Haslam hype- man we're going to do everything possible to win- in what year Jimmy? Have your fingers crossed behind your back?

Waiting on dion lewis to get healthy
Ya... But why a 32 year old cripple?
Why not let Rainey take a crack at it. He runs for 40 yards a game? Who gives a shit? Give someone reps that might have a chance to make the roster next season.
If Willis can read he'll be in a suit and tie on ESPN 8 next year evaluating week one sleepers for fantasy football.

Willis McGahee and Chud were at Miami together.
That's the only reason I can think of.

If Hoyer was better than Weeden, he would already be starting. The Patriots, Cardinals and Steelers all let him walk. Is there something in this hidden Jewel Dumbtardi sees that 3 other teams have missed, up close and personal?
Richardson was over rated, but you want to tell me Willis Freaking McGahee is better right now? I agree with one of the other posters- Beanie Wells is out there on the street, waiting for a phone call.
So if you're so cocksure of your drafting acumen, you shouldn't just stop at Richardson- dump the whole damn team- Thomas, Haden - the whole ball of wax- why go half-ass if you're in a rebuilding mode. That's 4 first round picks, not 2.
Nope as far as right now is concerned, we've hit rock bottom, and started to dig.

It is game 3 and he is starting. Seeing how we picked him up late, I am not sure he could have been on a faster pace.
It's evident Hoyer has overtaken Campbell, so that means he has made up ground on Weeden as well. Let's say Weeden didn't get hurt and the team kept losing....at what point would the staff start to look in a different direction if for no other reason than to skake things up?
Personally I didn't think Weeden was playing all that poorly, but as we both know, winning games means a lot and fair or unfair, a large burden of that falls on the QB.
My hope is Hoyer takes his shot and plays like a wildman, is our QB of the future and we don't need to spend any of our future picks on a QB other than maybe a 5th round project guy to groom as Hoyers back-up.
Go Hoyer!
As far as McGahee.....he brings a veteran mentality to a position where we don't have any veteran leadership unless you want to count on Ogie....I don't.
No doubt, it's a 1 season marriage. I don't see any negatives in bringing him to the fold.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

McGahee doesn't need to be better, he needs to be serviceable for a year until we get Lewis and/or Hardesty back and draft another RB. Hell, he doesn't even need to be as good as Richardson - we need the guy we draft, 2nd or 3rd round, to do that job. Then we've basically turned that 2nd/3rd rounder in to a first.

Wait a minute you want to depend on Hardesty who has a major injury ever year and Lewis a 5'7" 190 guy who well already fell apart in the 2nd pre season game as you main running backs? GENIUS

I like the McGahee signing. I never thought our FO would pick up a 32 year old, especially at running back, but he is a work horse and he does everything well ... catch, block. He's played with a chip on his shoulder since he blew out the knee in college, and he's going to have a huge one now as 31 other teams let him sit, many that needed running backs (Giants, Colts, Steelers ...).
It is also a good opportunity to see what Rainey can do, you never know with running backs until they get a real opportunity, preseason is bullshit.

No, that's not what I said, GENIUS
First, Hardesty is probably gone, Lewis isn't exactly injury prone, he broke his leg. That's not like a knee ligament like RG3 or someone, it heals up and you move on. He's young enough that he won't even notice it. Second, the point I was making is that we'll be drafting a second RB sometime on the upper middle rounds of the draft next year, and we'll be using him, along with at least one of Lewis and Hardesty in a RB committee. We've then gone from:
Richardson, Lewis, Hardesty/Other, Plus 3rd round pick
to
3rd round RB, Lewis, Hardesty/Other, Plus 1st round pick.
The third rounder just needs to be a serviceable, 3.5-4YPC guy, and the 1st rounder then (hopefully) becomes a top WR or something.
I hope that's clearer
