I think I prefer Ahmed to Gaskins to be honest. Seems to have a bit more burst to him.Ahmed was/is good when healthy people on here were sleepin..

He’s not washed up at all, but he is 30 and very similar to Gaskins.Washed up. Hopefully we learned from last season regarding veteran free agent running backs. We need fresh legs that only a rookie RB can provide.
While I like our backs to a degree too, the casual NFL fan, not tied to the Dolphins, would laugh at hearing a team say they're not interested in looking at any runningback because they have Gaskin, Brown and Ahmad. "You have who, who and who!" I think Miami drafts a back in the first 3 rounds and adds another late in the draft or maybe as a priority udfa. Honestly wouldn't be shocked If the final 53 man roster had Gaskin, Brown and two rookies.With Gaskin, Brown and Ahmed we really only have room for a rookie.
Seeing that really made me realize how lousy our backfield is. Can't make a single rebuttal cause its 100 percent accurate. Lets hope we draft a beast because that type of player isnt on the roster atm.While I like our backs to a degree too, the casual NFL fan, not tied to the Dolphins, would laugh at hearing a team say they're not interested in looking at any runningback because they have Gaskin, Brown and Ahmad.

Different style backs. Ahmed is the better runner, but Gaskin is significantly better as a reciever and pass blocker.I think I prefer Ahmed to Gaskins to be honest. Seems to have a bit more burst to him.
I don't know that I would say they were lousy, but I just feel like if one were to be lost for the season you could find a decent replacement for them on practice squads or maybe on the free agent market. I think they're each roster worthy backs, I just think they're each number three or four backs on a roster and not a number one or two. Each one has shown a little glimpse here and there, It should be an interesting training camp battle.Seeing that really made me realize how lousy our backfield is.

Edit: it really frustrates me how so many people on this forum want to wait until 50 to draft one of the 3 great RBs in this draft. I hope Grier is smarter than the posters here and I think he is.
The knowledge of the casual fan is the worst barometer for determining which players are actually good. How many casual fans know who Van Ginkle is?While I like our backs to a degree too, the casual NFL fan, not tied to the Dolphins, would laugh at hearing a team say they're not interested in looking at any runningback because they have Gaskin, Brown and Ahmad.

Here's of an example of a late day three type back, Maybe even an udfa that I think could challenge at least two of the three backs Miami has on the roster.The knowledge of the casual fan is the worst barometer for determining which players are actually good.

I do think we should draft a RB on day 2. But I also don't think our backfield situation is as dire as some seem to.
Gaskin and Ahmed are better than plenty of RB's that casual fans would think are better due to name recognition.
