    Run the wheels off of Harris. Chances are he will demand a bunch of money when his contract is up.
    Rbs are easy to find.
    Besides, don’t we already have that great rb that would spell him and have his own packages devised by Canada?
    You mean, the new "Spin-and-Fall," McFarland? All he does is slip when he tries to cut, but it was a genius draft pick according to some in here. He was supposedly better than Johnny Taylor, Dobbins, AJ Dillon and the like. But, oh no, he went to MD, so of course, Tomlin had to over-value him, as he does all MD/VA players. How many of those players have worked out again? Add McFarland to the pile of failed draft picks from there.

        McFarland had three carries in 2021. How can a board "genius" determine all he can do is slip and fall from three carries. I think a back needs at least 30 carries before someone can get a read on what type of player he can be. I think it would be a shame to completely give up on McFarland. He was a young player with speed and potential when he was drafted. He flashed some potential in 2020 and I was hoping he would be the number two ball carrier in 2021.

        But Snell is definitely a better special team player and I suppose that is why he got the number two ball carrier role. McFarland had the ankle injury in the year, he was drafted, and came out into the draft, perhaps a year prematurely. He's had a redshirt year and should be reaching his physical maturity. If he hasn't lost any speed, he has potential. I wonder what the coaching staffs thoughts are about him. But I wish he got to play some before they just replaced him with someone else.

            Lmao at your Dr Strange alternate reality convo that no one ever had on here..

            so I went back to 2013 (random stopping point) and looked at all these players we drafted from VA and MD.

            Edmunds from VTech… that was the only player I saw from VA. That’s it.

            64 players drafted since 2013 and only 5 have been from VA/MD


            but my question is where did the VA thing come from? Is it all based on Edmunds selection and it turned into a joke that is now believed to be true?
