Where is the next Kamara?

[butchna]

In hindsight, I totally agree with this KB. I'm not sure CBJ had experience dealing with national high profile prima donnas, did everything he could to placate one in Hurd to the detriment of himself and his responsibilities. I hope he learned his lesson, appeasing a prima donna like Hurd, hurts the prima donna, the appeaser, and ultimately the whole team.

Butch has a stubborn streak...specially concerning loyalty. Held on to Mahoney and Martinez too long and is super hesitant to replace players he trusts. When Berry and Sutton were injured and Kamara was limited, that manifested itself in putting the "safe" option back in Josh Smith and Micah Abernathy. They're just not gamebreakers and replacing the weapons we had with caution was a learning lesson, I hope. Play the best players WHEN IT BECOMES APPARENT who they are. Unlike some of you clairvoyant rear view mirror message board prophets, that wasn't until the A&M game. Before then, based on body of work, Hurd was a proven commodity and you ride that. Afterwards, it was a failure to acknowledge how dynamic the running game could be with backs that got to the line of scrimmage quickly.

Ty Chandler is the next kamara

I think Chandler will be really good for us, but I don't think their skill sets are too similar, really.

I'm not sure we'll have a RB who is as good in the passing game as Kamara was for a while.

I have to agree that his skill set is much more like what AK brought to the table.

I'm really happy we got him to commit today.

VFL...GBO!!!

Me too. I watched his film and couldn't help but draw the comparison. Good catching the ball, good burst, good cut back vision, and that #6!

I really think that what keeps Chandler from being a 5 star is size. The Cam Ackers and Najee Harris's in this class list as taller backs in the 220-230 lb range. Chandler comes in at about 190 lbs. Watched a compilation video of the top ten rb recruits and he definitely belonged on that list

Chandler just needs to gain 15-20 pounds. Short Bowling balls are great running backs.

I love how Kamara is now Walter Payton. But he couldn't get into the starting lineup most of the time here.

Kelly has a lot of heart, and some talent, but there is a reason he was 3rd string last year. He's small and a definite notch below what we had last year.
