James Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I'm on the fence regarding Andrew Harris' abilities. BC doesn't really have that great an O-line. But he just seems so easy to stop, Unless we have a really good QB, RB will be a very important position for us. IMO we shouldn't have some guy starting there just because he's from Winnipeg. I'd be very happy to sign Harris and let him compete, but I really don't want to just hand it too him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Finding truly elite runningbacks is not easy at all,if it was every freaking team would have one, right now onlw sask and calgary have that. 2 out of 8 teams... yet every team has a guy who can carry the rock well enough to win... many teams have more than one. Finding the truly elite guys at any position is not easy, but finding guys who can play RB for ya effectively? Those are dime a dozen. If there is one position that I'm not worried about recruiting for, it's RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Harris looked good yesterday, I don't think it's a case of the guy being over the hill and simply can't perform any more. I think it's mostly motivation and/or bad game planning. I don't think he will be Jerome Messam 2.0 .... I think he could be a guy that could take A LOT of heat off the qb if we ran a system that would dink and dunk to him throughout the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbill2004 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Harris is only 26. He should have a good 2-3 years of productive football left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I'd rather have Harris over any back in the league outside of Korey Sheets. And yes that includes Jon Cornish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I just don't really know much about Harris, I haven't had much time to watch other games that last couple years other than bomber games. So I have to rely on you guys to tell me more about players from other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Harris over Cornish for several reasons. - He catches the ball out of the backfield better, which is something we desperately need in our offense - He has more left in the tank, 3 years younger - He's not an ******* Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Interesting... Do you guys know if he's actually a free agent. For some reason I thought he was entering his option in 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real life douchebag vs. locker room / on-field douchebag. I would argue the locker room / on-field one would be worse. Wait, which one is which? Cause they've both been asshats inside a stadium. Either way, you couldn't really go wrong with any of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
