Wouldn’t shock me if he makes a jump like Priest Holmes did coming to Kansas City. We have a good run blocking OL. Bienemy has gotten some good production out of RB’s. CEH seems to be the exception, and idk if that’s because Bienemy isn’t actually the RB coach anymore? Hopefully Naggy being here helps him spend a little more time with that position again.

1,000 posts = 1,000 yards let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think this could end up being one of the more underrated moves of the off-season. Rojo has the potential to be a really good back, and he’s going to have a hell of a good OL blocking for him. I just hope he’s worked out his issues with securing the football.

Is he like Knile Davis?

He wore #27 in TB. Case closed.

We could've chosen from 100 guys like Jones for a 4th or 5th, dirt cheap for years... this move low key sucks IMO

That’s crazy

So we've got CEH and JAG at HB...

Exactly, the RB room right now is just a bunch of who? and what?

It cannot remain an afterthought forever

Jones just had over 5 YPC and almost 1,000 yards just 2 years ago.

He’s a lot better than you all are giving him credit for in terms of running the ball.

CEH is better than most give him credit for as well

We spent a first round pick on a RB two years ago. That's hardly forever.

It hasn't panned out and that's a large part of why we're cycling through options of this type.

what's the latest with him, hurt most of last year, was he?

It’s like some don’t watch other teams at all.

Could have had Jonathan Taylor but drafted CEH instead.

Reid has shown he will run the ball if he has a good back. He hasn't had one since Hunt left. Jamaal Charles in 2013 was an all-pro and led the league in rushing TDs under Reid.

Jones instantly becomes the best back on the roster, but that's not saying much. If he can't pass block though he won't see the field. I want them to bring back McKinnon. He took the offense to a whole new level.

Horrible move and a waste of time in my opinion

On a 1 year prove it deal?

A one year prove it deal for a young guy with some potential, and a near 1000 yard season back in 2020 doesn’t seem too bad to me.

Agreed.

There's nothing to prove. He is what he is. Better off drafting someone.

That he can rush for a 1000 yds again before he broke his hand and lost his job to Leonard Fournette?

If we drafted a RB it wouldn’t be until the 5th or later and it’s just as much of a craps shot as this. It’s a no lose situation. If he doesn’t work out we try again next year…

Don't really get this move, he really hasn't been good. I like what we've done at LB and don't mind the safety approach, but not convinced by this.

He had 978yards at a 5.1 clip in 2020.

He's 24 years old.

But yeah, go ahead with your 'everything sucks and so does this guy narrative'.

Don't know if that's at me but i've said the moves i like. Not sure we all have to wet ourselves with excitement at every roster move anymore than we have to whine about them.

Like when antimatter and matter meet. Or these guys:

The number of armchair GMs around here who think they actually have more skill than the real GMs in the NFL is insane. Should probably send in that resume with the next league opening...

Like what?

I don't think you like anything.

And maybe there's a middle ground to be had here, don't you think?

Jones is 24. He's had a season in which he had 978 yards at 5.1ypc. Last season, he broke his hand, so had a limited output.

Seems like a low risk, high reward type of signing to me. Lot of upside potential there, and at worst is a solid rotational piece.

We spent a god damn first round pick on RB wtf you people are stupid as hell this month

"Has there ever been a more garbage poster than Comochief and Jake from Bitch Farm?"

opens hatch...

"Oh, hi DTvietnam."

Jonathan Taylor would not even be getting the ball for Andy Reid, and all Chiefs fans would consider him a JAG.

You people don't get it.

Not true at all. We get it that Reid doesn't run the ball. What you don't get is a better RB is needed to maximize the limited chances. Taylor is a difference maker and would have been used like Kareem Hunt. BIG DIFFERENCE.

And got 4th round talent..Admit the mistake and improve the position .

That's funny...

100% agree. IND runs a system similar system to Wisconsin. It was taylor made for him. Many on here will never accept that.

Okay, I'll play along. We've had a grand total of one NFL draft since we drafted CEH.

What would you do at this point to improve the position? What resources would you expend upon a position that's generally underutilized in this offense anyway?

I think signing Ronald Jones is an admission of the mistake. They don’t make this move if we didn’t miss with the CEH pick.

His highlight real is pretty boss actually.

Runs a lot like Hunt. Great footwork, elusive, and a surprisingly effective stiff-arm!

Might be our #1 RB?

Good stuff, man. He's going to be a good one. :thumb:

Exactly.

He broke a finger and got surgery on it in 2020. Why are you guys acting like he broke his HAND midway through 2021 and that's why he lost his job?


Him not getting snaps over Fournette last year wasn't because of his finger...

We could still draft somebody too. It is a one year deal after all. Derick Gore is a solid player but he's not a game breaker like Kenneth Walker.

But does it compare to this guys highlights?

Looking for CEH's infected gallbladder

shhh... the grown ups are talking

You guys realize that going back in time and taking Jonathan Taylor over CEH isn't actually on the table? You get that, right?

Oh, you don't? YOu're just pissed off that CEH isn't an all-pro, and you're looking for any opportunity to shoehorn in your bitching?

Copy that.

Understood.

Now, just shut the **** up for a minute.

Love watching the blue hairs complaining about his haircut during the PC on FB. Good times.

Personally, I'm for drafting a RB, and Jones signing doesn't change that at all. I like Raachad White and Pierre Strong a lot.

https://www.pewterreport.com/can-jon...s-starting-rb/

It is March 27th, 2022, and the sky is absolutely falling because we signed a former Super Bowl champ running back that has a career average of 4.5 yds/rush.

The Tyreek Hill trade after the AFCCG broke this fan base.

Everybody has completely gone full reerun.

I mean, people don’t even understand that most of these guys we’re signing aren’t even the guys we will use Tyreek’s money on.

The money we saved this year will be used for short term deals. The money we spend the next couple years in the first wave of free agency will really be the guys we “use the money we saved trading Tyreek” on.

Tyreek wasn’t traded to save money THIS year. That’s a long term issue, and along with the draft picks, should be judged 2-3 years down the the line.

Clearly going back in time to change the pick isn't an option. But if it were, I still wouldn't have taken Taylor over CEH. I wouldn't have taken a runningback in the 1st at all, and I'm sure Veach has learned from that mistake.

With hindsight being 20/20 the players I would have taken would be one of Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman Jr., Antoine Winfield Jr., Chase Claypool, Trevon Diggs, or Jeremy Chinn.

I'm not going to pretend to have known what Taylor would turn into or how the hands and fumbling issues weren't issues at all.


But I will stand by my anger at not getting Tee Higgins

Here's the thing I find so irritating-

I would think you'd understand by now how Veach operates.

When there's a weakness, he throws bodies at it. So the guys we're signing today and last week, and next week may or may not be the guys that play a lot of snaps. They're numbers being thrown at a weakness to ensure that it will not be a weakness again any time soon.

Just like the OL last year.

Now we're doing it with WR and RB, we did it with S and LB, and we'll do it at DE, and so on, and so on. we'll do it right up until the draft, and then we'll do it after the draft too, as we add other teams' cap cuts and roster trimmings. We will adjust the roster top to bottom, side to side, and bottom up.

Sometimes you guys see a 'bottom up' signing and freak out, thinking that's THE answer to a problem, and it's really frustrating that you don't get it yet.

It's been a few years now, and still, you same guys freak out in March, and then you freak out in April, and then every year we go to the AFCCG.

Just relax, for ****'s sake.

Here’s what we are hoping to get. His 2020 season

Genuine question, but what is the most mild-mannered, balanced way of saying "not sure about this move" without getting the "SUCH THE F**K UP AND RELAX!!" response? Is it that big of a deal for people to have opinions on individual roster moves? If anyone is genuinely freaking out why not just laugh at them in a few months?

Lotsa people saying a lot worse than 'not sure about this move' from an educated standpoint.

lotsa knee-jerk bullshit, and using last year's Juju stats as an indication for a healthy season, and the same for Jones, and so on and so on and so on.

If it doesn't apply to you, move on.

If all you ever do is complain, then you probably should look at yourself.

None of these moves are set in stone, no doubt starters in 2022, although I would bet Juju plays starter level snaps. Reid. Whether Jones or MVS do will depend on the draft, and on the rest of free agency. So getting too worked up either way about any of this is dumb.

It's MARCH.

All good, take your point, and I agree re where we're at in the process. But there's also complaining about complaining, maybe just let it ride.

Fumble!!!

Hasn’t he had four fumbles in four years? Something like 2-0-2-0?

It was enough of an issue he lost carries.

I think he compliments CEH very well. And could be the best push CEH has had yet. Insurance in case Clyde gets hurt, a lot teams actually have more than one RB, especially when they don’t have an established workhorse. Big upgrade over Williams.

Good thing we have an elite coaching staff to help him work on his issues.

Arians

We’ll see how he reacts to new coaching, a bigger OL, and change of scenery.

and EB up his arse.:hmmm:

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the team will give Ronald Jones a chance to be a "major part" of the offense.

Signed to a one-year, $5 million deal this week, Jones will join Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the Kansas City backfield after being relegated to the bench in Tampa Bay. “He’s a tough runner with good vision,” Reid said of Jones. “I’ll take that, and he needs that opportunity to feel like he’s a major part of this thing. We’ll give him that. I’ve got Clyde in there, too, so it’ll just help take some pressure off and they’ll work together and be a pretty good combo.” Among the most efficient rushers in the league, Jones last year gained 239 yards over expected on inside runs, more than any running back besides Derrick Henry. Jones was second in the NFL in expected points added per rush. He would profile as KC's better early-down runner while Edwards-Helaire likely takes most pass-catching opportunities out of the backfield.

This motherufcker at work said it was $9 mil. I trusted him because he broke the Hill trade to us.

I'm not sure if I respect his game or hate his guts...

I like this signing. I think he's better than what people are giving him credit for.

These are pretty great stats.

Personally I love this signing. We know damn well we need another running back back there. I bet he puts up like a 600 or 700 yard season for us and 5-7 TD's. Would be just fine

McKinnon seemed good with our OLine. He’s fast af and can catch. I just don’t understand why we’re not signing this dude to a cheaper multi year deal…. Not sure if I’m a fan of all these 1 year deals. Is there a reason Burt is offering all these guys 1 year deals again?

I like McKinnon too, but you can't really count on him for a season. I'd love to have him back but with Jones I don't know that is necessary. Plus with so many picks in the draft, it would be pretty easy to draft a kid late and let him develop.
