Addai vs Gore (1 Viewer)

[LBH]

Im curious to see what the masses think. Personaly, I like Addai by a pretty wide margin, but Im starting to believe maybe a lot of people prefer Gore. I own both backs in different leagues

 

[avoiding injuries]

No Kenton Keith option?

No Kenton Keith option?

nah, not at this time. Id assume addai could be handcuffed pretty cheap in drafts

 

[switz]

No Kenton Keith option?

Why would there be?

 

[Burning Sensation]

Addai will win this because he scored 3 TD's last week, and Gore didnt score any. Trying to ignore recent production, i give Gore a slight talent edge, but everything else favors Addai, and thats who i voted for.

 

[BBRULE]

As I see it, Gore is a great talent in a bad offense and made of glass. Addai is a good player in a great offense with no major injury history.

Edge goes to Addai.

 

[shredhead]

Edge goes to Addai.

No, Edge went to Arizona to make room for Addai...........Oh never mind! I voted for Addai as well. It's not even close for me really. Age, injury history, high powered offense, all factors seem to favor Addai.

Addai will win this because he's every bit as talented and in an infinitely better situation for the foreseeable future.Gore would only win this if voted on by fantasy owners that errorneously took Gore over Addai in a dynasty draft before this season.

I posted this in F&L's Dynasty thread and I am too lazy to re-type it:I don't have a problem with picking Addai over Gore - dynasty or redraft.I am questioning the notion that Addai is as talented as Gore is. It's been mentioned in this thread that Gore was talented pre-injury. Gore this very day is more explosive than Addai. Period. Take Addai in your fantasy drafts over Gore. Enjoy. But don't trick yourself into thinking that Addai is just as talented as Gore.

Yea, talent wise I don't think it's very close to be honest. Addai is a very solid RB in the ultimate situation. Gore is a special talent in a dreadful situation.

Live and let Addai

I agree. Put Gore in Indy and he'd put up tecmo like numbers.

I'm surprised at how one-sided it is for Addai.

Even as an Addai owner, in a dynasty league, I'd rather have Gore. Addai right now obviously has a better offense, but let's not forget that Gore put up monster numbers last year in a rather poor offense. And the SF offense can always get better - we're talking dynasty here - while at some point down the line, it's possible that the Colts' offense isn't quite as dominant (see Kansas City).

Above all, over the longer term, I'd rather have a guy who is the focal point of their offense, which is clearly Gore in this case.

My reason to question this is that I feel it is really unwise to project years down the road for RBs. QB and WRs, yes, but not RBs. And there is nothing that would lead one to believe that Indy won't be pretty much as they are for at least the next 2-3 years.

I can agree with that. With the shelf life of RBs, the window is much smaller.Still, I'd rather have Gore given how the offense runs through him. We see what he can do last year, even in a bad offense. There's no reason he can't turn it around again next year.

In dynasty, id take Gore in a heartbeat with the hope that San Fran can get better. AS far as talent goes, there really isn't a comparison. Gore may be the best pure runnning back in all of football.

I do not believe that the people voting for Addai are all in Dynasty Leagues. In fact I think some of them probably don't know what a Dynasty League is.

 

[Big Score]

I'll take whichever RB is on the Colts, Gore or Addai, for $100 Alex.

 

[LBH]

like I was saying in the dynasty thread, I think this is a case where situation trumps talent. The Colts offense has been so stable for so long, and when you add that the Colts invested highly in Addai not long ago, I have to give the edge to Addai.

 

[Fear & Loathing]

Still, I'd rather have Gore given how the offense runs through him. We see what he can do last year, even in a bad offense. There's no reason he can't turn it around again next year.

...except there's no reason he can't turn it around the 2nd half of this year.

Thats true, and he has a pretty nice schedule too. I think it will come down to Smith,Jackson, and Davis staying healthy. Obviously those injuries didnt help

Addai. Always go with the guy in the 'for sure' offense that will at least be NEAR the endzone.

I think someone dropped some LSD in the Shark Pool.I have both Gore and Maroney on my Dynasty team. No way in a million years should anyone prefer Maroney over Gore - Dynasty OR redraft. Maroney isn't half the talent Gore is.
