LMU93
My assumption with letting BC walk was they didn't want to pay a backup RB $2M+. But then Dunbar just got $3M. So has to be a fit/scheme thing.
But if Gurley went down for 2-3 games I'd feel OK starting Cunningham. That's not what Dunbar seems to be. Right now Malcolm Brown and Aaron Green are probably fighting for the true backup RB job.
Exactly, 93.
Which brings us back to the question. Why Dunbar over Cunningham? I'm not seeing the big advantage. Or any advantage. Benny was no slouch as a receiver, himself, so it can't be that.
I get that they're gonna have a different OL blocking scheme (thank Gawd), but is Dunbar all that? I mean, is he even an upgrade over Brown or Green?
More I think about it, the less I understand this decision. Seems like a departure from the preceding obvious FA moves that we've seen.
Gotta trust the coaches on this one, I guess.
