So...How about that Michael Turner?

RBs are an easy position to judge. Either guys can run the ball well, or they can't. Now, I would be really impressed if someone had called Cortland Finnegan in 06. Or if someone called KVB in 05. Shoot, call Tully in 05 if you're so great.

 

I wanted Tulluck to play as a rookie, of course I saw anyone as an improvement compared to that overpaid crippled mortgage broker Peter Sirmon

 

Please do. If you are right, then you will gain a lot of credibility. I will sure respect you a lot more.

I want to see you do this right. I would like to see you make a list of every RB from the 2008 draft, top prospects for the 2009 draft and an assortment of other college RBs (including current underclassmen). I want you to tell us what degree of success they will have in the NFL and why you think so. Also, don't change your projections for the 2008 draft based on what has happened this year. We can all easily look up what you said prior to the draft about guys like Slaton, CJ and Hart.

You said yourself that you only need to see 3 plays to tell if a guy is gonna be a bust or a star, so this should be easy for you. Probably will only take a couple minutes to do. There are hundreds of videos of running backs on Youtube, and they all have at least 3 plays in them.

Then, in a year or two, we'll be able to look back and definitively know whether you're full of s#!t. I know a few of us have our suspicions about what the answer is.

If you're feeling really energetic, maybe you'll also make a list for WRs. I seem to remember you loving Mario Manningham. I'd love to know who else is on your can't-miss prospect list.

 

Yep, if you were GM we'd have Manningham instead of Johnson. How would that be going right now?

 

Here, Gloat, I'll help you get started on your list. You said this on February 14th of this year.

"I've seen Tashard Choice since his first carry. I knew his first game as a starter that he'd be a beast to be reckoned with. He's the guy that nobody wants to tackle. He's the best back in the draft (all-around). Speed, Strength, Vision, Patience. He's got all. Reminds me of Steven Jackson."

Last I looked Steven Jackson isn't 3rd string.

 

Gloat you put forth the most twisted arguments i have ever seen.



If anyone wants to make a 20/20 argument in what would could have done that would have been to draft sean jackson in rd 1 and steve slaton in rd 3.

While turner is a great value as a pro bowl RB for $6M a year it would have been a cap hit we don't need now. Besides with an 1100 yard back already here turner wouldn't play for us.
