I’d get what you are saying if he had a career so far similar to Josh Palmer.

Yeah I guess I wouldn't count out Spiller just yet. Hard to judge anyone from the leftover stench of Staley and co.
I will say that I also wouldn't be surprised if JK Dobbins got released before the start of the season - I know we are all rooting for him but just not sure what kind of player he's going to be after all those injuries. All I'm saying is I don't think he's a lock, either. Really rooting for the guy, though.ESPN Screename: GoBolts02

Yeah, I hear ya. Glad we got Vidal. I can see Vidal getting at least 20 rushes + receptions a game for us. I would put Dobbins on the early IR or PUP list to give him more time to heal from all the injuries and surgeries. His body could really use it it sounds like. Dobbins could be great for us in the second half of the season if totally healthy. And no way am I counting out Spiller just because Staley didn't use him much.ESPN Screename: GoBolts02

Barring any flare ups, I think they'll limit snaps on Dobbins. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news...al-media-video
Gus had a good 2024.
I think they spread the carries around, use the depth too. 4 RBs IMO. Gus, JK, Vidal, Spiller or Dotson.

I'm glad we didn't have to decide on who makes it today.
I'm excited for Vidal. I'm sure he and Gus make it. Beyond that, who knows?
Maybe the OL changes make Spiller good (doubtful, but not impossible).
Maybe Dobbins is hurt or too diminished to play. Maybe he's great. I'm excited to find out.
Maybe Dotson's breakaway speed is the explosive running this team needs. Maybe he's just not quite up to the NFL level yet.

Here's an encouraging report on draftable/drafted RB's you want to listen to...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxcD5K6T7q4
He goes into Vidal at the 33:50 mark.Last edited by Whydachargers?; 04-29-2024, 08:09 PM.

I wouldn’t consider 2 years under a shitty coaching staff, “for years”. Spiller is talented he is still young. I believe this coaching staff will give him a chance to prove himself.
This coaching staff was on the hot seat and they didn't experiment with new players.
The Spanos were considering firing him after the 2nd game.
It wasn't just Spiller: Hensley didn't play much on a defense that couldn't defend against the run or pass.
