    Deshaun Watson can attest to this.

    if we want a world class short yardage back it has to be this guy:

    Sounds like no Zeke. I'm fine with running it back with this group of four. Breece is a star if healthy. Knight looked promising and Ty Johnson is a nice rotational back. Hopefully Carter can rebound

    We are good enough at RB with what we have. Needs elsewhere.

    Chad learned that move from Curtis. Ankle-breakers, both of them.

    I really wish the Jets had been smarter with Chad. He was a great QB when they had protection in front of him and talent around him. The Jets were in the same place they are now back then and kept trading up and signing second-rate free agents.

    The smartest GM's are the ones who know they know nothing and make a lot of picks in the draft to make up for that shortcoming.

    Best to either go after Derrick Henry or draft a RB. Settling for a Zeke may not be enough to significantly improve the offense.

    With all the miles and wear and tear on Henry I want no part of him

    He still looks really good though. 1538 rushing yards last season with 13 touchdowns finishing second in the league in both. Funny that they both came into the league in 2016, and Henry still looks worlds better then Zeke at this point.

    That may be but when he inevitably breaks, do you want to be the one left holding the bag?

    difference is when he breaks down he will still be effective because of his power he will still break tackles. He’s just not gonna run those long ones off and lose some speed. I would take that as one two punch

    I wouldn’t. Not at the price he’ll command

    I'd take a flyer on him for a 1-2 year period at a decent price.
