Jordan Howard - Miami Dolphins

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,012]

What a day for Howard and da Bears as they pummel the Bengals in Cincy 33-7.  He also caught 1 pass for 8 yds

More Bears records -

I'm surprised that Payton didn't do that. However in year 3, Payton ran for 1,850 yds and 14 TDs. There's something for Jordan to aim for.

I don't pay close enough attention to the NFL, but was the regular as many game as it is today when Payton played?

Payton's 1st 3 seasons including the 1,850 yard year was 14 games, then went to 16 like today in 1978. Payton had 680 yds his rookie year then 1390 yds in year 2.

Walter's rookie season QBs were Gary Huff,  Bob Avellini and Bobby Douglass. They all make Cutler look like Brady. 

And his O lines were absolutely atrocious until Ditka got there in the early 80s.

Still, congrats to Jordan, awesome accomplishment!

As a Bears fan, this would disappoint me ...

I love Jordan and want him to be a Bear for obvious reasons, but it might be better for everyone if he went to a new system. He just doesn’t fit in Nagy’s scheme and he could go tear it up in a zone blocking system. (Preferably in the AFC)

Bears sign Mike Davis from Seattle, meaning Jordan is almost certainly on his way out.

With Mack continuously getting injured, I would love for the Colts to go after Howard. Not only would he be a great insurance policy, he also has a complementary running style to Mack's.

That would be awesome.  Throw in Coleman and I'd be a very proud homer!  But unfortunately I don't think the Colts need a RB.   They just signed WR Devin Funchess for a one year deal and I think they're in the market for a pass rusher and a safety.

Supposedly with Mack restructuring his deal to give us $11 mill back on the cap we are making a run at Bell.

Not doubting Bell’s talent, but I could see better places to put that money.

Traded to the Eagles for some couch change and a half-eaten pack of SweeTarts.

That would honestly be better than a “2020 6th round pick with the possibility of becoming a 5th”

Great trade for Philly, glad Jordan can go somewhere that he will be utilized correctly.
