Will the Pro Bowler Conner start the remainder of the season or will Tomlin go with his new found star of the day Jalen and Conner gets plastic splinters in his a-s?

Conner deserves the majority of snaps, but I’m all for not running him into the ground like they did with LeVeon and giving Samuels some more too.
Hate to say it, but isn't this another Steel Curtain preseason prediction come true?
I think everyone should be extra nice to their loved ones this holiday season, as there's got to be an earthbound asteroid approaching.
Juju had a great year. One could say, and I guess enough did, it might be because Brown gets so much double teaming. As a big fan, it would have been nice to see though.
Boswell should also get in, just to make the game a bit more comical to watch... how many kicks could he miss and in what bizarre fashion.... and especially since he'll likely be cut before the game takes place, so he'd have to borrow the plain white helmet on Tom Bradley's desk to wear.

Boswell = Steve Blass (namesake of Steve Blass Syndrome). Blass lost it after he found out Dave Cash was banging his wife..not sure what got to Boswell...
He has a history of going with one RB and riding that horse until it drops.
RB by committee isn't something he likes.
He has a history of going with one RB and riding that horse until it drops.. such as?
Willie Parkwr for 3 years.
Rashard Mendenhall for 3 years
Le’Veon Bell for 4 years.
Tomlin does not like to rotate backs.
This is not intended to at you, but thinking he’s staying with Samuels over Conner is idiotic. Samuels in his interview has already said he’s never touched the ball that many times EVER....even in HS where he wasn’t even a RB. Conner should sit out until the playoffs.
Pretty cool Conner keeping a text message from Donald for a few years as motivation.

I'm not a Tomlin basher like so many others on here, but I clearly recall his "run Willie Parker until the wheels fall off" statement . . . which is exactly what happened.
Parker had a short window of productivity.
And the running of his wheels started with cowher.
So it was smart
I don't know it's really bashing him to say that. It's just a philosophy, and because RB are so easy to replace and they have a limited window of max effectiveness, it's not an unreasonable one (well, maybe to the player who loses his wheels, maybe).
No. He’s barely practicing.
I think he’s out till the playoffs.....but if week 17 is do or die, he’ll be in there.
He says he’s not ready and doesn’t want to hurt the team.
I think the statement is true on any player. If they could easily get the ball in Brown’s hands 10 yards downfield 30 times a game, they’d do it till his wheels fell off too. It’s just easier to get it to the rb and they take more direct punishment than a wr.
