Put those things together and it's quite obvious.

1. doesn't mean pioli doesn't recognize talent.

2. DMC is not the exact same tailback... charles is closer to a traditional RB, and has roughly 40 pounds on DMC.

3. that is because we cleaned most of the veteran dead weight off the roster, replacing with younger (and yes cheaper) talent.

the only thing that's obvious is the rest of the afc west is afraid of JC and want him out of the division...
