I don?t think so.

I think Goth leads the team he?s on the year to the Super Bowl.

Between him and Stafford he?s the one who?s done it before.

Since Barry left.....I don't think we've had a back stay healthy for an entire year. Even Bush missed 2 games in his 1,000 yard year in 2013.

It's maddening to watch these guys go down year after year.

Kerryon - Never healthy. Well, he was in 2020....but he was last on the depth chart last year.

Abdullah. Played in 16 as a rookie but was far from healthy most of the year. Played 2 more injury filled seasons.

Best - Same as Abdullah. Played 2 seasons. Played in 16 games his rookie year, but wasn't healthy for a large chuck of it. Healthy for 5 games his 2nd season. Career ended after that.

Kevin Smith played 5 years. One healthy year - 2008 976 and 8 TD's. Rarely healthy after that.

Mikeal LeShoure - Hurt before he started. Terrible after that.

Kevin Jones played 4 years. One healthy year - 2004. 1133 and 5 TD's. Was almost always hurt after that.

James Stewart played 3 season. one healthy year - 2000. He had 1,184 yds and 10 TD

Even guys that were solid back ups during that stretch got hurt before they had a chance to take over lead back status. Guys like.....

Bo Scarborough
Joique Bell
Zach Zenner
 
RB is a tough position

Even the best get hurt (Peterson ACL in his prime, Zeke had an injured year). Need be like San Fran and have a scheme that it doesn't matter, you get good running no matter what back you have.

you need an innovative coach like K Shanahan. The Lions don't have that.

Lynn, Duce Staley and Fraley don't seem like innovators. But solid coaches and Lynn is running focused

Maybe the Lions finally have the Oline though that they can work with any back

Jamaal Williams and Jermar Jefferson will get their shot to prove it if Swift is constantly hurt. Williams has proven things with the Packers already

But if they don't have a decent run game, 32nd offense in the league coming with Goff and those receivers.
