re: Kamara is a shell

Kamara does not suck.
Kamara is simply not a GREAT running back, he's "only" a very good RB. What I mean is what keeps him out of that elite/great category is that he is not a RB who could just take over a game week in and week out because he does not have the power to run in between the tackles as well as those elite guys can. No team goes into playing the Saints and says "we have to shut down Kamara's running game", because it's fairly easy to do. I understand our o-line is not helping the run game much this year, but the running between the tackles is what separates him from Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, McCaffrey, Johnathan Taylor and a few others.

He's almost a fair weather running back so to speak. If we are winning and offense is able to pass the ball and back the defense off, then he can have very good success running the ball. Again I know it's not all on him, o-line and playcalling are big parts of it as well
