Are you comparing any of those guys to Arian Foster?


People here think these guys are going to be their savior for their team. Your 3 week rental of Scott and Tate isn't going to win you a championship. Sorry dewd

Dude, my RB's in the league I picked him are:

McCoy, Forte, Blount, Bush, and now Scott

I don't need him as a savior.

But judging by your response, I'm for sure you probably made fun of everyone who drafted Foster last year

Also a stupid argument.

Did you say the same about Brandon Lloyd last year?
Foster going into last year's draft?

Clearly you are pretty conservative with how you play things.

But I'm sure Knowshon and Beanie are gonna lead you to fantasy gold this year.

maybe not, but he could get a team to the playoffs that may not have made it because of injuries..

I was arguing anything I was asking how you guys knew he was good after having 140 carries in the NFL. I never said he was bad.

Was Lloyd picked up when the WR1 got hurt? Naw. He was drafted in every league.

quote:

Foster going into last year's draft?


Again, how was he a rental? He started the 1st game and went for 200+ yards.

Clearly. I own Tate, Scott, and Newton on separate teams. Im just not making them out to be more than they are, however.

I don't own either. I stayed away when you said they sucked

Dumb. He was available in a lot of leagues of the waiver wire.

I've never been in a league smaller than 12. Nice try though.

How's Greg Little workin' out by the way?

He wasn't drafted in any of the leagues I played in.

Most people were going high on D. Thomas, and after he did nothing post week 2, people got keen on Lloyd.

You are basing your assumption on the idea that Scott is a rental.

IMO he's more talented than Benson. He's certainly more explosive. If Scott steps in and blows up, why would they go back to Benson FT? You don't stop giving people the ball when they play well. He averages 4.48 a carry, which is about .6 yards better than Benson over the course of his career.

To me, Scott is just the more talented player. Frankly, it's puzzling they didn't move toward Scott as the starter sooner...and if he's a dud, well you didn't drop anything noteworthy for him, so what?

No, you are just making everyone else out to be making more of this than they are.

One guy dropped Demarco Murray for him? No one is rushing out to drop Peterson or even Fred Jackson for Scott, or expecting him to do that. But when it comes to dropping a handcuff what's the difference besides than Scott has a chance to own his gig and the others probably don't sans injury?

Just want to throw this out there, but most times when people mention players like Greg Little, Joe Webb, Tebow, Gabbert etc... they're being sarcastic.

Well judging by his responses in his thread, it's hard to know whether that is sarcasm or truth.

Did you expect Larry Johnson to blow up like he did when Priest Holmes went down injured in '04?

Before he got this opportunity, he had carried the ball 20 times.

Benson isn't injured. He will be back in 3 games.

Foster isn't injured for the year. He will be back in 3 games or less.

Even if Tate and Scott shine, they will still only split time with Foster and Benson when they come back. They aren't going to all of a sudden carry the ball 30 times while Foster/Benson ride the pine. This diminishes all 4 guys' value.

Like I said, I own the backups. Im starting Tate this week, in fact. I just dont agree that they are the answer for the season.

And I never said anything about dropping Demarco Murray for him, Danny. Keep up slugger.
