Over the course of the past few years, only three (or four) RBs are better than him. NFL Network or ESPN (can't remember which) showed this on a recent show, showed that Domanick Davis is much more than just an average running back as you are claiming.
Does it mean we cannot survive without him? Nope. But it means that he IS worth the risk.
There are hundreds of other run-of-the-mill players in the NFL that would not be worth the risk of placing on I.R. if necessary to keep them on a team's roster. But IMO, DD is a guy that you don't just cut loose to free up one roster spot. He gets at least the benefit of doubt in my book, and IMO deserves the chance to work it out on his own.
It's like someone said: We kept Joppru for 18 years without any promise of him coming back. To just cut DD loose over a lingering knee problem is not in the works for a team spearheaded by Bob McNair.
A lot of this "Cut him loose" talk by some of you guys is nothing more than macho-man syndrome (In my most humble opinion). You want to look like you're capable of being the Grim Reaper Ice-Water-In-The-Veins NFL Owner who can make the tough call for the good of the team. We get it, OK? You care about winning, and to hell with anyone that cannot pull their weight. Geez, I'd like to be stuck on a deserted island with limited supplies with all you "Cut him loose" guys...I'd have a knife in my back and dumped over a cliff within the hour. You got this going for you: You'd make a great player on CBS' "Survivor" show.
Go Texans! And that includes Domanick Davis............
