Le'Ron Mcclain to the Chargeless

[jap1]

Apparently ESPN is reporting that Le'Ron Mcclain is signing with the Chargers.

Peyton Hillis is a Chief - AFC West Blog - ESPN

Apparently Mike Tolbert is still coming here and we are still interested in signing him. Maybe we would use Tolbert as FB and Charles/Hillis as RBs.

According to ESPN Tolbert would be more of a long term signing.

Jamaal Charles is not one of them. On 2010 he played a lot less snaps than Jones, but never complain. He knows what is best for the team and also best for him. He was the first Chief player to welcome Hillis on twitter. I think he won't and shouldn't start next season, just wait to Hillis does the dirty work wearing down defenses, and start running in that way that only JC knows how.

6,0 YPC this year!!!

I'm fine with that for a few games until Charles gets back to 100%, but you have to start Jamaal eventually. 6.4 ypc! That's the 2nd highest average, ever!

I don't want to wear him out, but he can't be our "backup" RB.

The JC/TJ tandem was good and it worked well. I don't see TJ as being able to do it anymore. Hopefully Hillis can be that secondary RB and also be the short yardage monster.

Does it matter who starts the game? Everyone knows who is our #1RB, no matter who starts.

He also can catch. With Daboll he had 61 receptions that year (2010)for 477 yds.

That's always a good thing. In that sense he is a lot like Matt Forte and Walter Payton!

Hey! I can dream, can't I?

Lets not get too excited....we only have a 1 year contract on him. That said, if he can live up to his potential I could see us having to pay him a LOT of cash to get him to stay.

But then, if he could be that short yardage back, run for say 700-900 yards per year AND catch passes for 400-600 yards per year, then he would be worth a LOT of money. With that, JC, the Bs and TM, we would have enough weapons to make almost any QB look good. Even Cassel.

But again.....what is management going to do for our O-Line?????????

ah, the remaining million$ ? We had better sign Winston or there is going to be a mutiny!

Running by committee does not work.

It doesn't?

Help me out here.... Who was the last "elite" RB to win a Super Bowl?

Running back by committee absolutely works.

Walter Payton, but he did not score in the(SB) game.
