It'll be interesting to see how he looks. Lots of RBs in Tampa right now, but if Cadillac can do anything at all, this has the makings of a great story.
And, he caught every pass Garcia threw him.
lets not go that crazy. Pitt is by far the best with Parker, Mendy, Moore, and Summers. Baltimore is still better than Tampa if we are assuming injured stars are blooming with Rice, McGahee, McClain, & Peerman. San Diego isn't bad if counting on LT with Sproles, Johnson, & Hester (who can play some RB). Not to mention Dallas (that trio is sick), Tenn (CJ, White, Ringer), Giants (Jacobs, Bradshaw, Ware, Brown, Miami (Brown, Williams, Cobbs), Oakland (McFadden, Bush, Fargas, Rankin), & the Jets (Jones, Washington, Greene, Woodhead) who all are higher on my list.
Maybe I got a little ahead of myself, but with a healthy Caddy they have 3 guys who have all been successful starters in the league. I think Clifton has a ton of potential, but it is going to be hard for him to get a lot of opportunity behind those 3.
Caddy sure does help with some depth, I agree. One of them has to be healthy for each game, you would hope...I'm not sure Clifton has loads of potential, at best he's a COP back
Denver (Moreno, Jordan, Buckhalter, Arrington, Young, Torain, Hillis)
Me too. Don't own him, haven't in a long time. I've argued against him being an elite talent before the injuries. But the way this guy keeps coming back is amazing and inspiring. I hope he takes the league by storm.mightyeskimo said:
I think your forgetting about EG. Caddy does much more than cloud this RBBC "a bit," he makes it an outright disaster for people projecting TB RBs. I definitely wouldn't say "Ward is still the guy."
no it's not, Caddy a) can't stay healthy
no it's not, Caddy a) can't stay healthy
b) couldn't beat out pedestrian E. Graham last season.
c) has two very bad knees..
c'mon now..let's not kid ourselves here..this is a feel-good story for sure, but to think the guy is miraculously going to whip up a good season ( fantasy-wise or other) is just wishful thinking.
Ward got the $$ because he's going to be the guy..he can beat out EG in his sleep and is a much better all-around RB than Caddy is....
Caddy has had one somewhat 'good' season , 2005, where he ran for 290 times for 1178 yards , good for 4.1 per carry, and he's been very mundane ever since...for a guy who's avg'd just 3.8 per carry his entire NFL career, Caddy is borderline 'overhyped' at this stage..b-u-s-t is the one word that best describes him.
I wouldn't even be so sure the Bucs don't just cut him before the season starts..
he couldn't beat EG for the starting gig last season
watching Caddy get back on the field is going to be like watching John Travolta in 'the boy in the plastic bubble', you know, the point in the movie where he just says F-it, I'm living outside the bubble, whether its bad for me or not, and it eventually kills him..?
you know that watching Caddy is the same way: he's going to get cut, or get hurt, or get beaten out for the starting role..you pull for the guy, you want him to do well, but it's a Shakespearean tragedy..
Could not beat out Graham, Caddy was not even active until week 12??
Ward has 342 total carries over 5 years.I like Ward, but he's not proven at all. I do think this season could set up better for him than either EG or CW, because the Bucs could be playing from behind a lot and Ward's the best receiver.
All that says is that Williams will start in the 3rd preseason game, very different from having the starting job.
