Love DMo!
I hated that trade. He’s such a quality human being, and, a great Running Back/Receiver/Player.

That’s the beauty of Gibbs/DMo. Both of their careers were probably extended, here.

I get the business side of this and cannot help but respect it. Our franchise is reaching/has reached the place where you can’t keep everyone.
But I believe that he will be missed. He was the perfect counter balance to Gibbs. Gibbs ascending, DMo declining (no offense or shade implied; Father Time wins vs RBs). But their styles were complimentary. Their uses were complimentary. DMo loves Detroit and Michigan loves him right back.
On a personal note, my wife is a Bears fan. She is still bitter about the Bears losing him to us. Now there is one less thing to give her shit about. We better sweep the Bears just to keep her contemplating life decisions (as if I am not enough for that.)
I really think we’re going to regret letting him go. Gibbs is great but that combo was lethal. Not dmos fault he wasnt used correctly or at the right time.

It still hurts. Me, and a few other people complained during last season how they didn’t use him enough, and how they used Gibbs in situations when they should have used him.
They want Jahmyr full time. DMo doesn’t want a reduced role. So he was traded. It’s a simple as that. People need to stop with the he wanted to be traded blaming him BS. This interview confirms it. I don’t blame DMo either. He hasn’t shown any signs of regression. And it messes with your money. He already re-worked his deal with Houston. If he plays well for them, he might get paid again. If he stayed in Detroit, with limited carries, and Brad cuts him, then it’s possible he might have hard time find another team and he’d have to settle for little money. And Brad has shown to be ruthless the way he let Decker, GG, Leaf, and AA go.
I understand why they want to give Jahmyr the ball full time. The guy is special. He’s generational. He’s still behind Bijan, CMAC, Cook, and Taylor, but he can be the best. I worry that he can’t do it full time, but if he can, and Pacheco can stay healthy and help him out, then I think he either gets 2,000 yards rushing or he gets 1,000+1,0000(which is what I prefer).
I like Sonic and Knuckles much better. I think that was the way. I worry losing DMo will hurt, but it is what it is.
I’ll be cheering him on!
I’m a Rams fan because of Stafford, I’m a Jets fan because of AG, and now I’m a Texans fan because of DMo.
