Jordon Howard on any team will not be a deciding factor in a long playoff run. He’s fungible.
Agreed.
He’s not a piece that puts you over the top, not sure he even raises a team much at all. I won’t be shocked if he gets cut at some point during the season. He’s a guy that made noise on Fox teams playing from behind when teams were more concerned about giving up passing yards. So many people leaning on meaningless stats from losing seasons to prop the guy up as ‘one of the best backs in the league’. I’ve never watched Howard and thought he was a top tier RB. It’s weird that all the sudden some people view him that way. Top tier players/backs are game changers, Howard isn’t a game changer.
I’m not crazy about losing him for a 6th rounder in next years draft, but I’m not losing my mind over him leaving either. I look at it this way -if we have a back on our roster that’s good for 900 yards and 3.7 yards per carry.. same/same. And I sure as hell hope we have backs capable of looking better than that.
