Any Chance C-Mart has a decent year? (1 Viewer)

[cscmtp]

Just curious if anyone thinks Martin could surprise this year, and get 1000-1200 yards. The Jets did get 2 new o-lineman, and should have a better QB situation then last year.

BUT...Martin is really getting up there, coming off that injury, and has Houston, Blaylock, and L Washington competing for carries.

Can he be a #2 or #3 starting RB in a 12 team league anymore?

What is the earliest he should go in a new dynasty?

 

[off]

The earliest I would draft him in a new 12 team start-up dynasty is 10.08. Pick him at 10.07 and you ould be making a mistake

 

[Gadzooks]

Yes. He'll be a nice value pick for someone who goes WR early. The offensive line will be much better, the QB won't be named Vinny or Brooks, he's healthy and has a solid defense.

 

[cscmtp]

lol Off. You're special.

Martin has the potential to be a nice value, but I suspect that his stock will rise as we get closer and the coaching staff gives more of an indication of what his role will be.

Martin was a nice value until you guys started mentioning him. Thanks alot.

in typical jets fasion,when pundits think they will do well ,they fail miserably.

when pundits think they will suck, they become a playoff team! lol

so, everyone is down on NYJ this year, I'd give them a decent shot at 8-8 or 9-7 just because no one thinks they'll win more than 5 games, and they might be able to sneak up on opponents..

everyone thought Miami would be lucky to win 5 games last year, as it turned out, they nearly made the playoffs..

We might as well shut down the board because we don't want to give our secrets away hey.

My thoughts exactly!

To answer your question: I'd say no. He's too old and they other viable options. The dropoff can happen quick once it has started, and it has.

The preseason is going to be very interesting for the jets' RB spot. CuMar is finally showing signs of age affecting him, two of the RBs look like CoP RBs exclusively (Blaylock & Washington), one is a journeyman type RB (Houston), and one is a UDFA who was extraordinarily prolific in college (Moore).

With the kids most likely starting on the line, whomever wins the job will most probably start very slow as the kids learn the ins & outs of pro ball, but could get significantly better in the 2nd half of the season as they pick up the pro game, since they project out as very, very good players.

This one really looks like a complete crap shoot. I'd personally throw out the 2 CoP RBs as not being able to get enough work. After that, who knows, but I really like Moore based upon his college resume as being a clone of CuMar if he can get his giddy-up back from his ACL injury that he returned from in the 2005 season after a 9 month recovery. Despite that short recovery, he still had a very good senior season and if he gets his burst back could be a legit SOD.

So the guy is as old as dirt, will be running behind a new O'line unit with a couple of rookies and might have a better QB.

Sounds like a winning combination to me.

If in my PPR league, start 3 WRs and I go RB WR WR RB RB with CuMart as my #3 RB, it does sound like a winning combination.

Could be, could be.But besides Martin's age / mileage, up in the air QB situation & revamped O'line starting two rookies, I'm nervous that the Jets may go to a RBBC this year.

I'm thinking they will want to get a good long look at both Blaylock & Houston in game situations so they can figure out where they need to draft a RB next year.

Why is Houston a journeyman? He had a very good college career, got a health issue straightened, and then performed quite well as a rookie. He, too, now has the better offensive line in front of him. I don't know that he should be deemed to be just a journeyman.

It's tough to get a read. Mangini comes from a system that produced 164, 287, 252, 182, 345, and 209 carries for its lead rusher in 2000-2005. That's a pretty big variance from top to bottom. The 345 was for Corey Dillon in his first year with New England. Schottenheimer comes from a one-back system, but he had LT2, so who knows what his philosophy on the running back position is.

Still there's a decent chance, imo, that even with the need to look at other backs, that Martin gets 250 carries (but maybe only 10-15 catches) as he begins the season as the starter and Houston and Blaylock and whomever else might make the roster compete for 3rd down work and a bit of short yardage work as well. If Martin is productive, he'll get 250 carries, maybe as many as 280. So the question is what do you think he'll do with those carries - I suspect he will be able to run for 4.0+ ypc, but would have a tough time getting more than 6 TDs. So, an 1100-yard rusher with 5 TDs is pretty great value in the 5th round, but that's the upside. Until there's a clearer handcuff, it's a risky pick.

Jets backfield is very cluttered - even BJ Askew can be a factor here. I'm staying off of Martin this year.

Late rd pickup at best.
