    He seemed to do fine in the preseason games. Sure not many carrying yards but I dont think he'll be in situations where he has to get 4.5-5 ypc.

      We'll see. I'm rooting for him just off principle as I rooted for Brian Leonard and Peyton Hillis. Too often, racist attitudes have destroyed the careers of white RB's coming out of high school or even college. There's always this racist urge to turn them into blocking fullbacks, tight ends, or linebackers. It's very reminiscent of what had been done with Black QB's for so long.

      It's like when Warren Moon was applying for the draft and he was advised that he wouldn't be drafted unless he declared for tight end or something. You see the same thing going on today with white HB's.

        I think he only has real value only if AP gets hurt, but if AP gets hurt I'm not sure if him or Young would become the primary back. I strongly considered drafting him, but in the end I think he really isn't going to be that good in the NFL.

          Would you like a mulligan?

          • Where's your kicker, MRT?

            Or were you just worried that I was going to go for Gerhart? I did highly consider it, to be honest. Just I was reading good things about Scheffler and bad things about Gerhart when my time to pick came.

                I'm taking Janikowski instead, giving you the possibility of getting him, if you'd so like.

                  WOW! You change your mind again! I swear you do no research. Every time you make a questionable pick (like Josh Freeman) and I call you out on it, you promptly change your pick. This is what? The 6th change by you?

                  Or are you thinking, well if flash doesn't want Gerhart, no point in picking him now. Mightaswell get the kicker I want and pick Gerhart in the last round. Is that what it is, MRT?

                  This picking, gauging reactions, then changing your pick isn't very sporting.

                  • If I don't do any research and you pour over research endlessly, how come I've taken 2 players you wanted right before you? Either your research is just as good as me blithely picking players and changing my mind or you're simply mistaken.

                      Nope, need a kicker.

                        It's funny because I have a friend that plays Warhammer in this manner. We even made a shirt "I'm gauging your reaction" on the front "I declare a charge" on the back, just to commemorate his style. BTW, if you want my pick set in stone faster make sure someone picking behind me picks quickly.

                          • I might have time to change my pick 20 times before space makes his.

                            • Also, my draft didnt quite pan out the way I thought it would with a big gaping hole in week 10. Do I just throw in the towel that week and take Janikowski who also has a bye then? Maybe I'll change it back.
