A nice play, I will give you that. But let's face it, YOU could probably catch that pass. Shaun Hill laid it right in his chest. Anybody going out for a pass should be able to catch that. You're acting like he caught a ball in traffic, got hit and still held on to it or something. Give me a break. You can attribute that reception to the Rams' awful linebackers who allowed Robinson to run right past them.

What does this have to do with anything? I don't care if he can be an announcer. That has nothing to do with his ability as a runningback.

Too bad he can't do it consistantly. The Falcons missed one tackle from behind and the next guy that touched him dropped him. Every runningback who gets a chance to play will make a play every now and then. Robinson lacks ball carrier vision and will NOT break runs like that often.
If Robinson was good like you claim he is, they wouldn't have drafted another RB and Robinson would have been getting more carries last season. The fact is he is NOT a good RB and never will be. The coaches see it, that's why they brought in Coffee and Sheets.

Ahh yes, the video everyone brings up when they try to show how badass Robinson is.

Again, a nice play. Too bad he does not do it consistantly. He broke 4 tackles if you include the sorry attempt at an arm tackle by the linebacker, and he looked great. But how many times has he caught a pass and gained a yard or two before going down? More often than not.
It's easy to make a case for a guy if you're going to bring up the few highlights he has. Almost every player in the league has a handful of highlights. Even Ryan Leaf had some really good looking plays. Even Tully Banta-Cain had some highlights in 07. That doesn't make them any good. If the player does things like that consistantly, THAT'S what makes them good.

Don't ever try to tell me what to say. Michael Robinson is a great athlete, unfortunately that does not mean he is a good RB because he simply is not.

Oh really? Is that why they brought in Coffee and Sheets? That makes sense. They brought in two more runningbacks so they can give Michael Robinson more playing time. Get a clue!

Furthermore, you are clueless as to the importance of a top special teams player. He is also one of the most popular players on the team and a real team leader. How many guys play themselves into total exhaustion and risk their life for their team? Michael Robinson did just that.
What the hell are you talking about? Did you read that or are you just making s**t up to help your argument? LMAO!!!!
I know the importance of a top special teams player. I also know EVERY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE HAS THEM. They are not that hard to come by. Name me ONE team that doesn't have a special teams ace. You can't do it because everyone has a few of them. And what does him being one of the most popular players on the team have to do with ANYTHING?
Again, nice try with the highlights, but every player has highlights.
