Great Vid!
Guys - stop with the drafting needs mumbo-jumbo!
Did the Titans NEED Chris Johnson, they had LenDale White?
Did the Vikings NEED Adrian Peterson, they had Chester Taylor?
Did the Lions NEED Calvin Johnson, they had Roy Williams?
I am as big a Gore fan as anyone, but we can't pass on a potentially game changing back because we don't NEED him. I don't NEED 10 million dollars, but it would be damn nice to have!
Well put.
hows that well put?
lendale white sucks.
chester taylor sucks
roy williams sucks.
they NEEDED all those picks
So LenDale White was NEVER good?
Chester Taylor was Never a reliable back?
Roy Williams was Never the clear #1?
You made my point for me - plan for the future before you NEED to, or you'll end up starting back at square one.
That's how it was well put.
Perceived need, at the time of the draft.
Do you draft John Wall if you have Stephen Curry.
Do you draft Michael Jordan if you have Clyde Drexler? No wait, you draft Sam Bowie (DOH)
I'm a big Frank Fan but lets face it -- look at LT and Shaun Alexander. LT may still have some good years in the NY but Shaun fell off a cliff. Emmit in AZ. Westbrook, has he found a team.
Frank has been a GREAT 49er, only player to have 4 straight 1000 yard seasons. He may be young (26-7) but he has had ACL surgeries on both his knees and surgeries on both his shoulders.
When his body goes (which hopefully won't be for another 5 years
) it's really going to go. He has already outlived the average career for an NFL running back.
Planning for the inevitable is not showing disrespect for Frank. Getting Spiller and allowing him to share carries with Coffee as well will only prolong his career.
The Chargers were always grooming replacements -- Turner, Sproles.
Frank is now prone the high ankle sprain. Those injuries never really heal, unless you consider scar tissue healing. You can't rely on him for a full 16 at the 30 carries a game.
He'll get his 1,000
Gore 1,100
Coffee 485
Spiller 300 running /400 receiving / 800 returns
