News/rumors 2023 season

Hbg, while I know you're not comparing them, Cook and Dobbins shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. Make that the same post! For the last 4 years, Cook has broken the 1,100 yard mark, with 43 rushing TDs plus 3 more via the pass. I hope Dobbins can match that average in 2023. His mouth, or twitter, won't help him achieve that.

BTW, Cook has only missed 10 games in the past 4 years, including playing in all 18 (1 playoff game) in 2022... Bc

I don't think it's fair to compare the stats. Cook gets treated like a workhorse while Dobbins is in a committe scheme. And we've all watched him so we know he's not in a committee due to lack of ability. Dobbins never getting more than 15 carries in a game is one of Roman's biggest sins imo

While that may be so, if given the chance to take one or the other (all things[including contract]being equal), I think most would opt for Cook. I would... Bc

Here's an interesting take on Dalvin Cook by The Athletic based on advanced metrics.

Dobbins looked significantly slowed after his knee injury. Hope he has fully recovered

I don't dislike Dobbins, but he plays a position which is generally expendable, so it's odd I see and hear so much chatter from him

He looked a lot better after they cleaned up the scar tissue.

Like they took a bolt out of his knee

advanced metrics agree with common sense - running backs have a short shelf life. better a year early than late

Better a year too early if you need the cap space. With Cousins in his last season under contract I would have tried to keep the band together for 1 more shot. At the very least I'm trying to bring in Ezekiel Elliott for a 1 year deal if I'm the Vikings. I know a lot of their fans are high on Ty Chandler and think that he could beat out Mattison but I'm not seeing it. The Vikings last a RB with some thump now that Cook is gone.

Yeah. Dobbins looked explosive as hell when he came back after the second surgery, though. His late games against Pittsburgh & Cleveland were very impressive.

I have a feeling gb could win that division. I think Watson is an electric wr. If love is decent they still have great playmakers imo

Nah, Lions.
