Wasn’t there a report that drakes agent didn’t respond to contract extension talks? He was a free agent at the end of the season.Because Grier can’t be blamed for anything.

What about players that sucked then came here this year. I.e. taco..Better than any RB we have, was never used properly here because we have idiot coaches. See previous posters list of players kicking *** when they leave here...except for tannehills WRs

Interesting to see what has happened to Drake since that one game...
Since that game, he has rushed for under 40 yards 4 times with one game over 60...
HAsn't had a TD since that game either.
Drake is who he is...from time to time he will wow you, every other time it will be more of the same.
And have a lifetime rushing ave of 4.6...hmmmm? yeah time to time
Even 4.1 currently which is 4 times the amount of the guy who replaced him here
Sorry, not buying your assessment
What assessment is that...outside of the wow game from time to time, he is pretty much a below-average back. That is who he was in college...splash plays here and there, never consistant.
What do our current backs have to do with it? They didn't "replace him" it was moving on from a guy, getting a pick in return for someone who was leaving for FA anyways. We will draft at least one RB in the next draft...
Drake is a pretty good back, but I think we absolutely made the correct decision to trade him when we did. He seemed like a good guy and he gave us the Miami Miracle, so I hope he does alright for himself.
Yeah, but that 1, 3, 2, -1, 15 yard rotation isn't going to help you win games. Everybody wants a RB who gets you the consistent 3-4 yards every time they get the ball. That's why Frank Gore is still playing and why he played over Drake because consistency means drives and drives means points.When used consistently during games I saw a solid back that could break it at anytime...hence his high career rushing ave

He isn't the kind of running back you give 20 carries to. Never was. Never will be.
I'd love to see the median rushing values of NFL RBs, not the average. I'm sure you'd find that Drake would be on the lower end.
Do you know what the difference between mean and median is?Drakes stats on par with Gore's when he played here so not much of an argument to make
