[Toby Gerhart]

As the resident Stanford guy around here,  welcome to the Toby Gerhart fan club!   He's a fun guy to root for, and the more you see him, the more you like him.

 

One incorrect fact to correct if I may...   his senior year yards of 1871, were actually done in 343 carries.   His 671 carries are his 4-year career total carries.   

 

I'd love to see Toby come to Indianapolis.   But I'm not expecting it.   Because we're keeping Trent and Vick Ballard is coming back -- that's two power running backs.   Not sure Toby wants to sign on as the 3rd.   We still need a change of pace back and I'm hopeful it's Donald Brown.   But if he goes elsewhere,  then we'll need someone else like him, and I don't think that's Toby.

 

Gerhart is more like Richardson and Ballard than he is like Brown.

 

So, on that basis,  I'm not sure he's a fit in Indy. 

 

Hope I'm wrong.....   but don't think I am....

Sorry for the off fact on carries. I agree. I just hope he ends up somewhere where at least if he's a RB2 he can get more carries because anyone playing behind AD isn't going to get much. The guy is a monster.

Ok I'm actually a vikings fan but more so a Toby Gerhart fan. I've been called the biggest Gerhart fan around. Whatever team Toby ends up on is the team I'm backing up. I think he'd work well into the colts scheme.
