Why are we even looking at this guy?? I'd say there is a pretty good chance that he's not in any kind of football shape. And the last time he was he ran like a girl. I'd let Rock back up CP and bring in someone who was at least in a training camp.

Why waste time with him when we have a proven player in Marcus Mason, even if it was during the pre-season.

Read that back to yourself.



It's not a bad move, since we don't know the extent of Betts' knee and it has been said on here that Cartwright fumbles at RB. We saw on Sunday what fumbles will do to a good team, even against a horrible team.

For an emergency or 3rd-string depth back or even just someone to let CP catch his breath, it's not a bad idea to pick up another RB if Betts will miss time or be limited.

His main issue in his final year was a broken hand that didn't allow him to hold onto the ball. It's been given PLENTY of time to heal. He could be a good change-of-pace back because of his size.

I'm OK with it. Not excited or care either way, since it's likely another T.J. Duckett-like insurance policy.
