We need a BIG back!

[xcfan]

any of you salary-cap types out there know if we can trade for one of these guys?

jonathan stewart
steven jackson
lendale white

it looks like we actually have a chance to be a factor in the playoffs this year--but not without a big, bruising back to guarantee the hard yardage (sorry coffee, you can't break tackles).

two of these backs are under-utilized by their teams, and jackson is valuable trade-bait to help the rams rebuild.

[NiNeRtHeOrY]

Lendale white......hilarious

[#19erfan]

No we don't.

[Gnihsif]

we will have to give up alot to get steven jackson or Jonathan stewart. Dont know about Lendale White. We should just draft one

[DavisToDavisTD]

Gore/Stewart: .051% of happening, Panthers need Stewart to take in some of the reps or fill in in case of injury just like Coffee is doing for Gore. Niners FO won't trade much for him and Panthers will not trade him unless its something like a first, 2nd and fifth.

Gore/Jackson: 0% of happening. Jackson is the only thing keeping the Rams from not being shut out every game for the rest of the season. He is the franchise.

Gore/White: 3.14% of happening. I would love White to be traded because CJ will give me more ff points. They have Javon Ringer so he is the future 2nd back. I expect White or Ringer to be traded/not resigned but that will happen in the next 2 seasons. Also a 3rd round for Coffee to be 3rd string is almost a waste as picking Smith/Woods with the first.

Jonathan Stewart is not that big. 5'10, 235... A bit heavier than the average back but he isn't even close to a guy like Jacobs...

If we picked up a big RB for short yardage situations, who would we drop? Gore, Coffee, and Robinson are all bruising, downhill runners. IMO it wouldn't do much good to add someone with a similar running style but just more size... If you want a change of pace, you should ask for a small, shift back a la MJD, Slaton, Johnson, Bush... Someone slippery and versatile.

I love Gore and I think Coffee could develop into a good RB, but I don't think our RB situation is all that great... Very little variety, and with Gore there is always the injury concern...

Go, go, go make some phone calls to those teams and get back to us.

[49erfansince95]

What if Brandon Jacobs was our running back?

[game4u2play]

As i mentioned before there are two in my mind are up and comers that would be a steal. Ian johnson on the vikes ps. and gartrell johnson was on the chargers practice squad but someone else picked him like cotton!

[DavisToDavisTD]

What if Brandon Jacobs was our running back?

What if Peyton Manning was our qb? With Drew Brees being the 2nd string?
What if Andre and Calvin Johnson were our #1-2 Wrs? What if Mario Williams and Jared Allen were our De's? What if we had Champ Bailey, Asomugha and Cromartie as our Cbs? What if Ray Lewis was our TED? What if Tom Brady was our waterboy and Tony Romo being used as the "dummy" for the nutcracker? What if...?

Funny, but vicious. Very vicious.

Lol, those kinds of "what ifs" only happen in Madden :gamer:

Cromartie sucks

Lendale white......hilarious

I'm just waiting for someone to break out that manip of White's head on that fat XFL player's body.

you honestly think the Titans, Panthers, and Rams would give up those guys.....:facepalm: :slap:

[NinerLifer]

I never understood the Coffee pick up, i was hoping for Greene but he got taken 10 picks earlier.

at 6'0 209, that isnt a big back, and Sing was talking about getting a big back.

Coffee is athletic, not big.

[dhiLL]

Why the hell...nevermind.

[p.will inmeplz]

I'm assuming this back can play guard?

[djdino]

I know some of us have some wishful thinking...but man..this takes the cake.

[35fumbledagain]

I'm assuming this back can play guard?

That would be worth having.

[Alchemy]

NO WE DON'T

We need another back in the mold of Craig...or even Watters. A guy who can compliment Gore by having the speed to get to the out side and catch passes out of the backfield.

without a salary cap it could be possible :handshake:

[Liono]

What if Bill Gates suddenly became a 49er fan, bought the team, and during the 2010 capless offseason, signed every major free agent out there. :spin:

Eh... we would be alright.

[MrGriz]

Did everyone forget that Norris is a pretty effective short-yardage runner?

[35fumbledagain]

Nice point. I've been wondering when they'll give him the ball again--or heaven forbid, let him wander out toward the sideline for a checkdown. Worked pretty good for Coach Rathman.

If any team can get Jackson that would be great, but that's why there is free agency. Its hard to find backs like Jackson, and it would cost a team too much to trade for him.

[faithfulfred]

NO....what we need are BIG HOLES to run through......

[BadNewz49erFan]

Lendale white will be a free agent next year

Sing said he wanted a back to compliment Gore and thats exactly what Coffee is. Gore may be small in size but he can pack a punch and Coffee is just another good back that has some good upside. Gore/Coffee will be a good tandem as soon as our OL gets their acts together.

[G4LIFE]

I don't think we need a bigger back I just think our backs need to get stronger. Look at Marion Barber, he only weighs 220 lbs but he's powerful and gets it done at the goaline.

[9erzallday]

It would be impossible to acquire the backs you listed. However, I do agree that we need a big back. I thought we would have drafted a back that weighed at least 230+ lbs, which is why I was puzzled when they selected Coffee, who is basically the same build as Frank Gore. i know they say he runs like a big back, but up to this point, it's not translating onto the field.

We need a big back that can bruise his way through for an important yard, or can truck over a defender to cross the goalline. WE do NOT have that right now.

[euronimous]

Moran Norris? Our big back is our fullback and I like it that way.

[WhistlingMtn]

They don't need a bigger back. Running backs don't get 1 yard. Lineman and coordinators get 1 yard.

They need a change of pace back that can get to the outside, well they have one, but they wouldn't trust him to be in the game at this point.

[majesstik1]

Toby Gerhart

[DavisToDavisTD]

Let VD take some carries like last year, 2-3 a game. See if it pans out if you want a big back.
