wow, we really DO get a new thread for every FA don't we?

 

To answer the question though, we already have:

 

Trent Richardson

Vick Ballard

Dan Herron

Chris Rainey

Ahmad Bradshaw

 

Plus the draft coming up and UDFA's.  How many RB's do we need?

 

Rainey is Special teams. Bradshaw is coming off a neck injury, Ballard an ACL injury, and Richardson is well....yeah. But I do think we will add one as a late round draft pick or UDFA.

Great player if healthy, Love his running style but 2 things make it an obvious no:

 

1.As stated above we are loaded with Backs and

2.He will be 29 in 2 days...Alot of wear and tear on the tires, 1804 career carries, 225 average per year, He still has plenty left if healthy Im sure though

He's better than any rb we have. We just wasted a 1 on a backup and the other 2 guys coming off injuries. We have no room for him, and that should be upsetting.

So a RB needs to put the whole offense on his back and carry them? No blocking is no problem? If you say so I guess. :scratch:  :facepalm:

Productive? The still hasn't avg 4ypc.

Not bad considering he has zero blocking. There were also 10 other RBs in the league that averaged less than 4 yards per carry including Rice, Johnson, MJD and the Law Firm. You can just overlook the 35 catches he had for 316 yards with a 9 yard average per catch with 15 first downs. Go ahead and just think what you think.

Are you talking about last yr? I was talking about Cle too. Of all the rbs you named, all of them are more explosive than Trent. I don't get why people here try to defend this guy. He was overdrafted out of college, and has been a beliw average rb. Probably won't change.

    • Notices of posts on this thread kept popping up. I knew there was no way the conversation was still about TB and the roast…. so I literally just hopped in here to see where the conversation veered off to. Wow, what a tangent!  Might be one of the best I’ve seen on the forum 
    • We’ve had many long time posters who’ve gone MIA…    I’d like to imagine he retired from many years of teaching and is enjoying the quiet life on a beach somewhere.    @southwest1 always posted interesting topics as well that I miss reading. 
    • Does anybody know what happened to or became of Princeton? I used to enjoy his "everything will be alright" comment.
    • Wilt dominated Bill Russell when they played, what Boston fans don't comprehend for some reason is, the Celtics had all the best players on their team other than players like West, Baylor, and Robertson. Outside of that the league had a bunch of MEH players back then except on Boston. Boston had Cousy, Havlicek, Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn, and KC Jones besides Russell. Russell could get away with playing a bad game on occasion because Havlicek or Sam Jones or even Heinsohn could go for 25 and they would still win. Cousy wasn't a great shooter but was a great Assist guy and would just run that team like a great QB does.   Bill Simmons has Bill Russell as the 2nd greatest player ever, that is what ruins his list and I agree with a lot of his rankings. Loved his book and love his knowledge on ranking players but his Russell ranking is simply because he is from Boston. No way in hell is Bill Russell the 2nd greatest player of all-time. He had too many offensive deficiencies to be that. To me Larry Bird was the better player compared to Bill Russell.    Simmons top 10 updated: 1. Michael Jordan 2. Bill Russell 3. LeBron James 4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 5. Magic Johnson 6. Larry Bird 7. Wilt Chamberlain  8. Tim Duncan 9. Kobe Bryant  10. Jerry West   Mine is: 1. Michael Jordan (we agree)   2. Magic Johnson   3. LeBron James (we agree)   4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (we agree)   5. Kobe Bryant   6. Larry Bird (we agree)   7. Wilt Chamberlain (we agree)   8. Steph Curry - Bill has Curry 15th.   9. Shaq O'Neal - Bill has Shaq 13th.   10. Bill Russell - yes, he makes my top 10, great defensive player, great rebounder, a good scorer but not a dominant scorer and a winner. His 11 championships can be viewed in a lot of different ways compared to how players won theirs in the 80's-up until now. 11 is 11 though so a top 10 list without him would not like right.   He had West and Duncan in his top 10 - I don't. I have Shaq and Curry instead. To me Shaq was more dominant at his peak than Duncan was, and Curry changed the game with his 3-point shooting. Shaq is the only player in NBA history other than Michael Jordan to win 3 straight Finals MVP's (2000-2002), he has to be top 10. I never thought I would see a better shooter than Reggie Miller, then Steph entered the building. Steph also does have 4 championships, a Finals MVP, and 2 League MVP's + he has the most 3 pointers made in NBA history.
