Quote from: ChicagoLion on March 05, 2021, 05:16:14 PMwhy release a young RB and hold onto an old one? surely it should be the other way round.Because they were 2nd and 3rd choice so not likely to be picked, the younger one needed more game time that he was unlikely to get much of, and the older one probably wasn't likely to get many suitors. So I'd guess the plan was to save some salary in the meantime, get the younger player more experience and thus be in a better position when he comes back.

A mistake in hindsight. Nobody really thought this was a huge issue at the time.

Cash didn't need rotating, he's done a good job and it's right he kept his place. It's a freak injury and bad timing.Letting Guilbert go made sense.

It really didn't. We can't have a first eleven and then replacements like Elmo, Davis and Taylor if we want to be serious top 6 contenders. If we hadn't signed Guilbert and we were linked with him now, we'd all be pleased we were getting a good upgrade on Elmo.In any case, I don't think his transfer had anything to do with good business, it was clearly something personal between him and Smith.
Elmo has been the main factor in two losses in the three games he's started since Cash has been out. How much worse could it be?
