I like MGIII, but not that much to pay him a big, long term deal. The Pats have proven that a big time RB is not needed to win the SB; not talking about this yr. I like Justin Jackson, Ekeler, and Detrez. All 3 can run and catch. Maybe they add a bigger RB to the mix, and it would be plenty good enough to win.

The Pats have proven a lot of things,..... like coaching matters particularly if Belichick is the coach.
They have no stars on offense except for Brady and Gronk and Edelman is very good but missed all last season and four games to start this season. And they traded Cooks away who could be a star.
is Brady that much better than every other QB? I think Belichick is the best coach hands down.

The days of shelling out mega $$ for RBs are over.
Not denying the talents of guys like MGIII and Bell, but it's just too easy for a competent defense to take away the running game if they want to. It's hard to justify tying up that much money into one position when the trenches still need so much help.
I like MGIII a lot, don't get me wrong. But he is always dinged late in the year, it seems. Losing him certainly creates another hole and we should be looking to maximize all assets in this last couple of years of Rivers' career. I would love to retain him but not at the huge salary that he may be wanting. Sorry but that's just the way the game is these days. I would be more than happy to have a RB committee (assuming they are all somewhat talented).ESPN Screename: GoBolts02

Bell got less than Gurley, which I think Bell has been better. Gurley 4 yrs, 60 mil.
Gordon 4 years, 45-48 mil, 30 mil guaranteed? Anyone want to pay that? His only issue has been durability. Other than that he has been real good.Last edited by Boltjolt; 03-12-2019, 08:53 PM.

Our own fans don't appreciate Gordon for what he is,....till we have to start Ekeler. Gordon can do it all and is smooth at it. Do we want to tie up big money in him? Not really but what RBs in FA are out there that can do what Gordon can that won't cost a bunch?
If we lose Gordon you can take to the bank we will draft another instead of going with Dontrez,Ekeler and JJ.
