James Conner

It will go to a qb.

I think it should go to Mahomes and in the end it will be between Brees & Mahomes & Gurley. If they want to do the usual slobberfest over the big 3 (Rodgers/Brady/Brees) and do a nostalgic end of career send off then Brees will win. If the sobber ******* want to do the new changing of the guard slobberfest instead it will be Mahomes. So in a nnutshell they can suck old dick or new dick but in the end it will be QB dick lol
 
LOL, sniffing distance? The kid is having a damn good season but he's not even getting a vote for MVP.
 
Conner's been on an upswing since the season started and a couple of games back the question was "could he be a reliable player to keep the same level of performance?"

Well, he has answered the question with huge plays game after game, also he has gained the sort of connection with his QB that makes Ben feel confident enough with Conner there to look through all his reads and still know he can count with his escape valve to make things happen. The difference might seem like just one more catching target but is way more than that, easies Ben's options after reading the defense and make adjustments. Also his pass protection has been very solid, which was one of the questions lingering in his resume.

Conner might even become one of the reasons that lets Ben extend his career for a couple of more years. Can you imagine him taking the beating Eli Manning Is getting and wanting to come back for one more year of ***-whooping?

Let me say it again, I think Conner's play is extending Ben's career and elevating the whole offense just when it was most needed as the hole in the RB position at the start of this season looked like an abyss that might have dragged the rest of the team down to never come back.

Personally I just find Corror a joy to watch play the game. He makes me yell in my living room again. I hope they get him enough rest and someone to step up more during games. I would like to see more samuels simply because he is a rookie and I want to see what he can do, but as long as he don't drop the ball Ridley can do the job. Connor seems to get rolling as the game goes, like the bus used to do.
 
Of whom is this Connor some of y'all are speaking of? Sounds like a helluva back. Maybe he should be the backup to James Conner. We could call them the "C & C Music Factory" or some other funky little nickname. (Before anyone gets their undies in a bunch, just a little ribbing. I've been guilty of spelling it "Connor" instead of "Conner" myself. But, considering all the man has done so far, I think we can start spelling our Rb's name right. lol)

That may have been the plan in the beginning. I'm thinking that given Conner's success and how well the Offense is playing with him in, they don't make a switch to Bell. Why mess with what's working? And, why bother doing Bell a favor by letting him "showcase" his talents when there's no need? I hope they use him as a third down back and emergency option only.

Did he have this problem in NE? I can't recall why he was on the street.

In NE he never fumbled. No one did. A deflated ball allows you to squeeze it a bit more in cold weather. In all weather actually.

They have to get Ridley in the mix a little more. Give him 8-12 carries to give JC a break.

I'd prefer to see JaySam than Ridley. JaySam got some time in yesterday. Honestly, we just weren't comfortably ahead enough to rely on that too much.

James said he's built for the workload, so until he proves otherwise, keep putting him in there to get his carries, yards and TDs.
