POLL: Which Running Backs Get the Ax?

[ChargersPowderBlue]

No running backs were harmed during the making of the 53 man roster.

RBs- EK- Spiller- Brown
HB/RB/FB- Horvath

PS- Rountree- Marks Jr

I think Brown beats out Rountree because of his receiving skills. Horvath beats Nabers out because he can run and catch. He will learn to block just like Nabers learned.

I think you nailed it.

Harvath's athleticism and potential as a short yardage back who can also catch is what intriguing to me.
lots of 7th rounders don't have the production for various reasons and end up being solid players in the pros.

Plus it's fun to say his name.

Kelley and Rountree get axed

Horvath AND Nabors show in 2022

Yeah that has 0% chance of happening.

I think Spiller is going to be a great 1st and 2nd down back. I think Z will be the short down back as well as some trick plays getting him out in the flat.

I want to see a Ekeler and Horvath training video.

I don't get where all the hopes for Hporvath are coming from. He had a very mediocre college record and wasn't draftted until late in the 7th.

Well for one thing, Zander appears to be an upgrade over Kelley and Rountree...

Leddie Brown may be an upgrade over them too..... so might Marks.... both run with more speed, power and energy....

There is a huge reason we drafted or signed 4 RB's this year ..... because Ekler is the ONLY RB on roster before the draft worth keeping.......

Joshua Kelley: 2 seasons, 144 carries, 3.2 ypc, 3 fumbles
Larry Rountree: 1 season, 36 carries, 2.4 ypc, at least he didn't fumble

These guys will make good PS players. I hope to never see either of them on the roster again. I know it's harsh, they are probably really good kids, but we gotta get RBs who can move piles and chains.

I'm not even sure Kelley and Rountree even are worth a spot on the PS...they've had their chance...time to move on from BOTH of them and give someone else a shot...

that is why Staley drafted 2 RB's and added 2 mow as undrafted rookie FA's.....

if they chose well, Ekler will be only returning back from also year....everyone else lacked the speed and energy for the position....

the 49ers last year drafted 2 RB's..... the RB from Ohio State was good but got injured.... the late round pick that I dod not think was fast enough before draft became their best RB and an NFL star..... so mid to late round RB's can be solid players or stars if you pick the right ones....

1. Potential
2. Decently productive catching the ball
