Chiefs Jamaal Charles: Starter?

Johnny Vegas · 01-19-2009, 07:55 PM

Just wondering what people think of JC(Jamaal Charles) on here. I think he's

not a starting back yet, but in a couple years he will be. I just think that he's a

player that if you give him more receiving plays he'll be a more productive

player, but not as a handoff back that will plow people over. I also think that

he will strive if there was a running game because he would definitely

compliment a bruising running back. It would have worked with LJ, but he was

out for a month and really there was not much of a running game the whole

season. I know I'm being ****in' captain obvious with the last few sentences,

but I really think he'd be a good compliment for a brick shit house RB that

has a running game and not start next year.

LJ is staying

we've had too many changes and i doubt anyone is gonna trade much for him.

I think he can have a career path like Westbrook. Start out as a 3rd down back and recieve touches in a limited amount and work up to recieving the majority of touches after a couple of years in the league.

LJ is gone. I don't think Charles is ready to start, but I think Kolby would do just fine so long as he has a good QB and complement runner like Charles.

What's a starter now a days anyways?

Everybody splits carries.

So I'd be perfectly happy with Charles as our starter. He'd just need spelled with another back.

I can see that. I don't like it that Westbrook is hurt a lot due to being a productive guy and getting laid out from time to time when catching passes. So that brings in is JC going to be durable through the whole promotion process? He did have a bum ankle through half the season and did play, but I think it was only a couple plays the whole game.

They are about the same size and probably have similar proneness to injury.

I think Charles could add about 10-15 lbs to his frame and hopefully improve his durability.

Its hard to imagine him going because of the situation, but I thought Pioli could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves?

If he could add that much more then he could move up the ladder fast.

Charles is way to injury prone to ever touch it 20 times a game.

If they do move from LJ which seems pretty likely with the change at the top of the organization then you look for a guy who can take alot of touches and be a hammer, James Davis in the mid rounds possibly.

Valiant · 01-19-2009, 08:35 PM

I don't think he is big enough at his current size to be a everydown back.. But the trend of the NFL is two good backs now, so who knows.. Personally I think that is more so they don't have to pay out the ass to one guy..

MGRS13 · 01-19-2009, 08:36 PM

We were running back by commitee before it was cool. Marty was so ahead of his time.

boogblaster · 01-19-2009, 08:40 PM

You need 3 RBs at all times ... Whoever they are ...

bowener · 01-19-2009, 08:50 PM

If LJ is not our guy, but is worthless as far as trading, I say we keep him as long as he

. If he can behave, I say give him what he wants, 30 touches, and run his ass to death, then cut him next year after his wheels have fallen completely off. Might as well get our money out of the deal.
