disagree.


really what can you do? I've found that the people who do the most 'research' ex. mock drafts are the ones who have pitiful teams.

How high or low are you on Decker & Tate after signing with new teams?


Back to the OP's question:

Forte
Peterson
Shady
Charles
Lacy
Lynch & Gio also have an argument in this.

And you dont think any of that has anything to do with the fact that they lost Rodgers for 7games and were playing with a backup QB?

Sorry, but teams respect the best QB in the game and wont be able to put 8 in the box like they could against QBs like Tolzien, Wallace, and Flynn.

He might get less carries, but will be more productive with Rodgers at QB the entire season. But will still get 18+ carries a game. The Packers def switched to a more balanced offense with Lacy last year, even when they had Rodgers. He had 6 games with more than 20+ carries with Rodgers at QB.

People thought Doug Martin and Trent Richardson were going to blossom "when they were more familiar with the system and what not". They sucked. There is no guarantee.



Richardson wasn't good as a rookie and there were a lot of doubters. Martin's stats are skewed because he only played 5.5 games and 2 of them were against the best run defenses in the league (Jets and Cardinals). In the other 3.5 games he was good (4.5 ypc, 110 ypg). Who knows how the rest of his season would have played out, but Mike James and Rainey were pretty solid as replacements.

Then you have the opposite side of the argument where people preach consistency. Ray Rice and Arian Foster ruined just as many people's teams as Martin and Richardson did. Really, last year was just a weird year for RBs.

Pump the breaks on this guy, turbo. Zalls Im saying. I warned the masses last year about falling in love with guys with average to shitty peripherals.



I agree with this, but there really aren't that many standout guys behind him.

I love Doug Martin in a comeback season. I think CJ Spiller could have a really good season too

I don't know about McCoy with Sproles going to Philly.
Philly needs to take it easy on McCoy and quit handing the ball to him 25 times a game. I think Sproles is going to cut into him big time, especially in PPR formats.
He'll still have his big plays, and should be around a top 5 guy, but i see it being an inconsistent top 5-7 season

Sproles will have no effect on Shady's carries.
Sproles will be use in the slot and catch passes out the backfield. If anything this hurts Bryce Brown's backup value.
