RB Conner re-signs with Cards

[oaken1]

Excellent vision. He's really great at reading blocks and knowing where the hole will be.

Laughs at arm tackles. Actually, no, he has contempt for them.

He's a little bit of a throw back. I don't want to invoke the ghosts of past greats (e.g. Franco Harrison), but he takes over games a little like those bell cow backs from the 70s and 80s used to do.

Defending teams can put seven or eight in the box but still have trouble stopping him.

never saw Franco Harrison play.
But the stillers had a dude named Franco Harris back in the day who was a pretty decent back

Fullback, to be precise, like Jim Brown.

All Cardinal fans have Marvin Harrison brain right now.

Sounds like someone would like an extension.

Had the Cards +3.5 and Conner going over 100 yards on a parlay yesterday. Boosted to +570 LFG!

Connor will be 29 at the start of camp next year.

RB contracts signed at age (Since 2022):

29:

You must be registered for see images attach

28:

Even mostert played his best season at 30 years old
Conner has great work ethic, speed is not his strenght, looked even more agile this year, I hope he can be the same player for a couple of years
I remember some rbs being very good even over 30
Warrick Dunn, Curtis Martin, Fred Taylor (Conner size)
Jerome Bettis a tank
Alstot maybe?

I have no issues extending Conner and then adding another player to reduce his workload.

No, no, a thousand times no. Why? Let's look at that word "thousand." Everyone wants to scoff at his injury problems and say all RBs get injured. That is his first ever 1,000 season. In the modern NFL for a back in the league that long, that is indicative of missing too much time or not being good. He's clearly good, so it's the former. Let us not be dumb and start doing Keimy stuff here. If he does well next season and still looks good, then we can re-sign him. Seems he'd be eager to stay.

Agree.. Audric Estime in the third round removes any leverage JC has...split the carries next season between them...and if JC stays healthy and produces then offer him a year... that drop comes fast for most RB's...

 

[football karma]

ill say this for his longevity:

Connor only had 208 carries this past year

183 the year prior

McCaffery had 272, Derrick Henry had 280

This. Connor ( and most backs) will not make it through a year of 25 carries a game. A guy like Dillon is a perfect backup.
I wouldn’t be surprised if MO drafts the rb who was injured last year( name escapes me) like we did with Williams.
