I have no idea why Pead is still around, and don't understand people who think he still has a shot. He has talent, but hasn't put it to use, maybe a new environment would do him good.
easy to see why
-He's been on the active roster and the coaching staff has put him in certain spots; he was used a lot this year out of the back field in the red zone. He also had a 2 pt conversion. You may not think it's a big deal but I think it's huge you put him in on a must have play ; that shows confidence in him from the coaching staff.
-Brings more to the table than Drich, whom couldn't even get on the active roster down the stretch.
Maybe they brought Pead in because no one in the entire world saw it coming lol. He has been on the team 2 years now, was a 2nd round pick, and has produced less than a 2nd year 7th rounder, a rookie 5th rounder, and a rookie UDFA. Certainly it seems we could find another late rounder to take his spot and produce more. Pead is a bust IMO, a big one, and doesn't produce nearly enough to warrant anything besides being cut.
Draft round is irrelevant at this point.
They've used pead a fair amount out of the back field - especially in the red zone.. He's been thrown at near the goal line but they weren't the best of throws..except for the 2 pt conversion of course
And I understand why they use him out of the back field - he's our only legitimate 3rd down back. Best hands, best in pass pro, pretty good route runner. There isn't another back on this roster with that combo.
What gives some names on what running back you like make a good fit with the rams in the draft
For a #4 RB, i guess he isn't that bad. Still think he could be upgraded pretty easily. just my opinion, i understand yours, but still don't like him.
D.Rich is #4... even when off the injury report, d.rich was the inactive one for most of the 2nd half of the season. came off the injury report week 12 i believe, stayed inactive
close enough. We could do much better at the #3 rb position though. I think so at least.
I disagree - he's the only "3rd down" back on this roster. If you remember the preseason when everyone was watching each back to see who'd start, I was really surprised pead didn't considering how bad d.rich was. Pead was the best in pass pro and blitz pick up, best hands.. every other rb has an issue with dropsies.
I don't see an upgrade - Pead to me is similar to quick. Flashes talent, but Gotta get his head right
I see an upgrade needed. Quick at least produces and has gotten better. Keep Pead, Lose DRich, don't matter, still want another late rounder to compete with Pead at the least.
I'm all for competition - i thought you meant just cutting him and movnig on.
