    James Conner

    The time has come for #30.

    We now have the best Oline coach in football and arguably the talent up front to be an all All Pro O Line.

    We just made the Oline's job that much easier with a 1 cut and go RB.

    Who doesn't want to see Jimmy Conner put up better numbers than LB?

    He's a higher character kid who has overcome so much more and is deserving of so much more.

    If our OLine has any pride, Jimmy C will be an All Pro this season.

    Man I am with you on all of this! Hopefully the weather conditions don't prove to be too much of a hindrance to the pass game today. I'd love to see J.C have 100 combined yards from scrimmage today.

      I hope he has a huge game but even if he doesn't have a great game we have to remember he doesn't have a lot of regular season experience.

        Im with you on this.

        Perhaps the most important thing JC does today has nothing at all to do with him carrying the ball..... but rather, in protecting Big Ben. If he does that well, I will consider the game a success for him.

          I just don't want fans to kill his confidence with unrealistic expectations, but with that being said I have a lot of money riding on Conner today so I am hoping for 100yds receiving 100yds rushing and 2 Td's, lol, C'mon James.

              Besides injury or failed test, an All Pro Conner is Bells worst potential result of his holdout.

              If Conner really winds up with beastly numbers, I wonder how much impact it has on others teams perception of Bell? Can anyone look good behind our line?

              If the holdout is extensive as some speculate WOULD Bell be an automatic starter?

              Bell is almost certainly the better receiver as he has rare skills as such. But might Conner be as good or dare I say "better" as pure runner? Bell was not "special" as a runner for much of last season.

              If Conner is better on first down as a runner (and more than a few were better than Bell last season in 1st down ypc) does Bells role not get relegated to being the leagues best 3rd down back?

              If Conners tears it up Bell might just come to regret not taking the money and keeping Conner on the bench.

              In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

                Just saw on NFL Network where Steve Mariucci's "Bold Prediction" was for Conner to have 180 yards rushing this week (which is 1 yard better than L.Bell's high last year)..... so it looks like at least you are in good company there.
