Does anyone still have faith in Conner moving forward?

Love the kid. Hes a baller... but i just cant see it

Connor is a good human interest story. But his football career will be shortlived. And his running style won't allow him to avoid injury in the future.

I've heard people say this before but what running style does he have that is so condusive to injury that other rbs in the league don't?

It would actually be nice if our RB's werent hit behind the line..
Oline gave up 10.5 tackles for loss vs. the Jets.
Oline has been terrible

Yes, i was shocked to read this...
Snell coudnt even get to the line on most carries before being contacted.

I still believe in Conner, but only 10-20 snaps per game, not carries nor receptions, snaps. He would be awesome in a RBC (running back by commitee) or two back set. But not just use him as a lead back or primer RB. Look at SF how they use all there backs, not based on downs or real skill set, but where they are on the field. They have backs ( they are soo deep ) that play between the 20s and backs for the red zone.

By the way I hate RBC...

Pittsburgh Steelers RB James Conner is still viewed as a starter by the team, and he's expected to have a bounceback season in 2020, according to general manager Kevin Colbert Thursday, Feb. 13. 'James Conner had a disappointing season in James Conner's viewpoint and ours, as well,' Colbert said. 'Our point to James was, 'You had an unfortunate year.' The year before that he was one of the best in the league.'' ... 'He's still a young player. We think there's something there. We know there's talent there. We hope James can regain it. And, if he's healthy, there's no reason he shouldn't. We don't want to say we don't have a starting running back because we feel we do.'

I'm alright with going with the guys we have and using our picks on oline, dline, and edge or maybe a te as long as we cut Vance.
