hey LD, reduce the sig by a page or two.

[Kleck.]

what do you want out of a guy who a lot of people drafted as their 4th RB?do you expect 1400 yds rushing, 400 receiving and 12 td's from the guy??

I expect to get value for him when the opportunity presents itself. Is that asking too much?

So who would you trade him for? Be specific here.

I would try and couple him with an WR2/3 to a owner hurting at RB (Lemont Jordan owner maybe) for a potential WR1I think the likes of Wayne or 85 could be had if you had the right pieces to move

Could be interesting to see if any Wayne or CJ owners would do this.

 

[Limp Ditka]

find me the owner dumb enough to make that move and i'll show you the office secretary.

I'm thinking you'd find something wrong with anything I suggested, but...What is so outrageous about that?TDs win FF. Ahman Green now has as many as the two of them combined right now.If the Jordan owner had either Wayne or 85, he's probably staring 0-3 right in the face and is probably desperate to do something.

Ditka, if you said this earlier I apologize (very long thread), but I was wondering if you had any projections for Green from here on out.

you're suggesting that you're the only person in your league that sees the potential for Ahman's #'s to fall off.. and that someone would be dumb enough to give up what is probably their best player for a backup WR and a #4 rb who (by your own admission) has peaked.doesn't seem a difficult concept here.

OKso you want a guy to give up his best player for a #4 RB and a lesser receiver when you admit that TD's are what is important... and Green has seen his best days this season (last week, btw)

 

[SSOG]

He had a good game catching the ball and got in the EZ. Don't know how many times I have to say it?Anyone want to comment on the under 3 YPC he's gotten over the last two weeks?

Absolutely good posting. Green has been killing me in all of my fantasy leagues that penalize for RBs having poor YPCs.

I really don't see how this can be deemed bashing.I have suggested selling high. I have said all along that he does not look the same running the ball and has a questionable O line. The numbers are starting prove that.Instead of trying to act like everything is rosey, why don't you look at the warning signs? The YPC he's getting right now are a warning sign to me.If you want to test your luck every week that he's going to get 60+ yds receiving and maybe get in the endzone go right ahead. I'd sell and look for my points elsewhere.

The whole concept of "selling high" is that a player's value is the highest it will ever be. Green's value just keeps getting higher and higher.

[Fla\/\/ed]

He proved nothing on Sunday and until he does, he's a sell high due to the good numbers.

Lord this is just asinine. He proved nothing huh? How about he proved that he was HEALTHY? Or how about he proved that he had his burst back? What about the fact that he proved he was the unquestioned starter and go to RB?I know you are a Bears fan and probably hate anything that is the Pack. Try to at least use some common sense though. All of the above where highly questioned and debated heading into this year. He provided answers to all of the above yesterday.

It is common sense. There was no burst. The entire defense, outside of the D Line, was takinga step back at the snap expecting a pass. Any NFL RB can gain 5-6 yards a carry when that happens. I will give you healthy, and he was the unquestioned back for the entire game,.

But please note that my main point is that he is the epitome of a sell high right now

A Later Round Draft Pick running back
With a history of success
Coming off a major injury
playing for a team that will be behind early and often
with an offensive line that has two rookie guards
coming off a game with good stats against a great defense
= a sell highTell me how that is not common sense?

Green's stats look very good today but I couldn't see the game. For those who saw the game, how did he look?

He looked very good. Oh, and so did Brett Favre.

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

If 90 total yards is a bad week, I can handle that.

For a guy you got in the 10th+ round... YES.

Have no idea why Green is getting bashed at this point in the season.

Because it's a Bears fan with nothing better to do.

Go ahead and tell me that things look just as bright for Ahman as they did after last week

 

[PatsWillWin]

Never gets old.

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

Never gets old.

Exactly. Considering the amount of crap Limpy dished out on Green it never does get old. I'm sure he will start up again very shortly.

 

[Kleck.]

Yes they did. Green ran hard all day and continues to impress me. He made a lot of short runs that could have been for 2 yards into 4, 5 and longer yard gains. His leg drive has always been one of his strengths and he still has it. And again he had a few runs today where he was one player away from breaking them long, and came real close to getting a 3rd TD on his long reception.

 

[rubrink]

Gotta give him credit, Ahman is keeping me in the league. I drafted Rhodes as my RB2 in our 14-teamer

Couldnt really ask for more from Ahman based upon where I drafted him

 

[ryoly]

Ahman might have easily had 2 more TDs today...Favre threw to Martin for a TD on 1st and goal from the 1, and correct me if I'm wrong, Favre ran it in on 1st and goal from the 2...if you drafted him in the 6th round like I did,or later, his value is "priceless"...even though he didn't play in 2 games when nursing those hamstring injuries, and he already had his "bye week", he's still the #5 RB in my money league.....

 

[Lemmiwinks]

I talked a lot of smack on Green in this thread. What else can I say that I was wrong. I still worry about his health and wouldn't count on him to play every game for the rest of the year but when he's played, he's been solid.

 

[prosopis]

I love Ahman Green. He may turn out to be the best value pick I have ever made.

 

[Sabertooth]

The Packers offensive line is really starting to understand the zone blocking scheme. They are stretching the front side and Green is using his excellent vision to find the creases. He is very well suited for this type of running.

Morency appears to have locked up the RB2 spot (pending injury) and Noah Herron is a nice third back, but this appears to be Green's team for the next couple of seasons.

Favre has looked great this year and the Favre hate has been very quiet lately.

Thanks, I appreciate the description. I haven't seen any of his games this year. It's nice seeing someone come back from an injury that could have been career-ending. He could get hurt again next week, or be playing just this well at the end of next year, it's impossible to guess. But he sure seems like a big part of the Packers' offense now, and with their receivers so banged-up that comes at a very good time for them. I guess their O-line must be getting better at run-blocking, too.

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

but this appears to be Green's team for the next couple of seasons.

Well, I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but Green Bay only gave him a one year deal prior to this season. They better get going on an extension or new contract. He ain't done yet.

I always said that Favre had more talent in his left pinky than half of todays starting QB's, I just couldn't stand his retirement waffling. I was expecting more interceptions from him & have been pleasantly surprised to see he's being more careful this year in that regard.

I've noticed too how the O-line seems to be getting better with their assignments and understanding of the zone blocking each week. Slowly, and still a ways to go, but steady and improving.

 

[marinolives13]

If favre would stop throwing the ball on first and goal ahman green would have had 4tds yesterday!

 

[Pittsburgh United]

I'm trying to decide if he's more or less of an injury risk moving forward than Portis. I have an offer on the table to give me Ahman for Portis. I'm seriously considering it, since Ahman's been looking so solid.

After the Arizona game, I dont think there's much doubt about Ahman's health anymore. They just cant give him 30 touches a game and expect him to play the whole year.
