---Interesting little piece of work there by a fellow tweeter.

Even Deadspin is hammering the Lacy is too fat narrative:

---I thought Eddie was poised to have a potentially MVP type season. Wow, did that ever not work out too well. Thinking on these pieces makes me wonder had he been in better shape if he would've taken his 61 yard run and actually scored with it instead of getting tackled.

Not a good way for a guy to earn himself a new contract. Even if he slims down giving him the big money will always be risky due to past behavior. Is Ted Thompson really going to give Eddie the money only to watch Eddie eat himself ineffective.

Ponder our RB situation... It might actually be one of our very top needs this offseason. James Starks is a 30 something RB and Eddie has weight and motivation issues. Who does that leave us? John Kuhn and John freaking Crockett? That's really really scary. Would not surprise me in the least to see a RB taken in the first 3 rounds by us.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Agree with everything, especially the 61 yarder. He looked so damn slow on that play I wondered if the NFL paid off the Cards to let him go that far. He was walking 61 yards down the field.

As you said, I expect him to get his shit together this offseason with a contract on the horizon, but it's clearly a scary position for Ted to be in since it could just be fools gold.

After seeing JJ and Abby Saturday, I'm starting to wonder if RB is a bigger need than WR.

Given Cobbs size I think he ran the ball pretty well, Montgomery however might really shine in the role. Just like in the chargers game I think we'll see him lining up in the backfield and abusing linebackers in the flat. He's also got the size to get a few tough yards in the middle to keep defenses honest. I don't think anyone expects them to be our 1-2 punch at Running Back but you shouldn't dismiss their contributions to the position entirely.

I agree! RB is a huge question mark. There are probably lineman in the league that would have taken that 61 yarder to the house let alone a starting caliber RB. Starks has always shown flashes, but I find it hard to believe he will suddenly put it all together at this stage. We tried to hedge our bets aggressively even when drafting Lacy, with promising 4th round pick Jonathan Franklin. To bad shitty old Ted Thompson drafted yet another player who had a freak, tragic, career ending neck injury.

It always makes me smile that De'Mond Parker is not remembered fondly but Franklin is. Franklin was god awful for the entire time he was here including pre-season save for ONE game that we were far behind in that he had one long run. Cripes, Brandon Jackson had one long run, too, vs. Washington. He was as a scrub. That "huge" game of Franklin's came with the game losing fumble yet somehow if we only had Johnathan Mayor Franklin all would be right with the world. That is just not reality.
