Would Jordan Howard (RB - Bears) be an upgrade?

[Colt Classic]

Bears fans always sound down on the guy since he apparently doesn't fit Nagy's system. He puts up numbers, but is he an upgrade if the cost is a later round pick?

[DrSpaceman]

Not really.

A slight upgrade. Like everything it depends on the salary, but I don't think he would be enough of an upgrade to justify the money he likely wants as a FA.

[apballin]

No way

I'm not sure the Colts want an upgrade. I think if they could find a Marlon Mack clone who was better at chatching, they would sign him and rotate Mack, Hines and Player X.

I think the Wilkins kid could really be a big plus for the Colts next season. He doesn't dance around, he puts his nose in the gap and runs hard. If he could be the guy to be a balanced runner/receiver, the O would be very interesting to watch

Ballard seems content with his current stable, which likely means no Bell, no Hunt, and no Howard.

If you aren't Payton, you aren't good to Bears fans. I think Ballard looked into acquiring him a few years ago. At least there was a rumor for it. But I don't know now. He is a good player.

Howard seemed to lose a gear between 17 and 18. While I think a power back is something to consider, I would look elsewhere.

We don't need Howard, Deon Cain is a threat to score every time he gets the ball. Just stick him back there and run jet sweeps.

This is going to get real old, real quick.

Deon Cain is no Mike Doss.


Walk Worthy,

no need to upgrade... Marlon Mack is the best RB the colts have ever had
