He does have the size of a fullback doesnt he......I did some google searching and FBG searching though, and it looks like he is the legit #3 guy right now......Shanny and the coaches seem to really like hime, and he is saying all the right things...

I wouldn't rule out his future if he plays FB. That's where Mike Anderson started.He does have the size of a fullback doesnt he......I did some google searching and FBG searching though, and it looks like he is the legit #3 guy right now......Shanny and the coaches seem to really like hime, and he is saying all the right things...
I'll pick him up cheap and hope for the best (worked with Willie Parker last year...thanks for that one FBG

He's playing in the best system for RBs in the NFL.Shanahan really likes him.Why is everyone getting all excited about Cedric "Corn on the" Cobbs? He's a turd. Everyone has to preclude their comments on him by saying"if he can stay healthy." All of you guys are just looking for a sleeper, chasing that elusive winning lottery ticket. Tatum Bell has proven more in the NFL than Cedric Cobbs. It's funny that Bell bashers cite his injury history, yet look at Cedric Cobbs as something potentially great.."if he can stay healthy."

RON DAYNE is currently running with the first team.
Tatum Bell is injury-prone and just as unproven as Cobbs as a feature back. Shanny himself has said Bell is more effective when his carries are limited. Not a good sign for those hoping Bell becomes a 300-carry back.
Let's face it, ANYTHING could happen here. To ignore the #3 in Denver, especially when it's a young guy with excellent size and speed, is a big mistake.
for what cobbs going value is (well was) in a Dynasty the Risk/Reward is more than worth it. Would you rather have Jerome Harrison or Cobbs, in their current situations? i'd rather have Cobbs and was more than thrilled to scoop him up in the 4th round of my rookie/FA draft.

Cedric Cobbs' former coach, Houston Nutt, who previously coached Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State, is obviously completely insane.
anything can happen in Denver
That said, I think shanny would like to see Bell be the man. If Bell is unable to assume the reins, any and every Bronco RB is a possible starter.
Probably should have put a disclaimer on that one - Adam is in a league with me, and he was trying to bid on him.Let's just say I put an end to that.where have you seen him going?I picked him 4th round of a rookie/fa dynasty league and a 18th round (last round) in a keeper leagueDoubtful.He does have the size of a fullback doesnt he......I did some google searching and FBG searching though, and it looks like he is the legit #3 guy right now......Shanny and the coaches seem to really like hime, and he is saying all the right things...

the fact is, the #1 in Denver is no longer what it used to be..Not only has the team used RBBC lately, they're likely to continue that trend in 2006, or worse, use a three headed RBBC with Cobbs now in the mix.no thanks.

I agree that it's not the same after Portis left, but I don't think Shanahan is looking to use RBBC. I think he'd love to have one horse, but he probably felt neither Anderson or Bell could handle 300+ carries. Now, Dayne and/or Cobbs may not be up to the task either, but I'd be willing to spend a pick on one of them - provided it's not that early, of course.
I totally disagree. I think the Denver RB situation is better now for us FFL'ers then ever.Instead of having to spend a very high pick on the known starter you can spend a low-round pick and possibly get a top 10 back. See Anderson, M from last year.
There's has been a lot written about Cobbs over here the last couple years. I'm talking about what he's shown at camp and in practices. The words "stupid and lazy" have come up more than once. Zero vision, goes down easily, doesn't know what's going on etc etc.He got 0 carries last yearand has been hurt. Hardly a reason to say he's been bad.
Like its been said a thousand times, whoever gets the majority of the carries will be worth starting in ff terms.
The same things were said about Thomas Jones. He's worth a flyer if you can get him relatively cheap.
He hasn't been in NE the past 2 years anyway. He was hurt part of 2004 in NE, yes. In 2005 he was healthy and on the Denver practice squad where he began to learn what it takes to be an NFL running back (paraphrasing Cobbs).Guys who come on this board acting like they are soooo sure Cobbs could never get the job ought to just look at the past. Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Quentin Griffin, Reuben Droughns, even late-round pick Terrell Davis all got a shot due to circumstances at that time. Some did a lot with that chance, some did less.He got 0 carries last year
well said...cobb's adp is around the 17th round right now which will change with the news of him having at least .1% shot to be the guy. he'd still be worth it in the 13/14th IMOHe hasn't been in NE the past 2 years anyway.

All we really know this year is that Dayne and Bell are the current favorites. They could split carries like Anderson and Bell did, or one could get hurt/underperform and the other shine and become featured. Injury or underperformance could also open the door for Cobbs or Sapp. We don't really know. We can just guess.
If the speculative hype gets out of hand and people are grabbing Cobbs higher than his current status warrants, let someone else have him. But, if you have roster space to allocate to a sleeper or flyer-type player and can get him cheap enough, you could do worse than having someone like Cobbs on your bench.
Agreed. Because he sucked the root. Not elusive enough to get past the first guy, can't get it going down hill and lacks good NFL speed. NE saw that he was a poor mans TJ Duckett at best. Why bother?
I disagree about him lacking speed. He has good speed.Do you believe system and coaching make a difference or that players never progress from what they were when drafted? Elusiveness is not as important as decisiveness hitting the hole in Denver's system. Cobbs in a recent interview made a point of discussing how much he found he had to learn to be a NFL back, and that he learned a lot more in his year on Denver's practice squad than he ever did in New England. I'm not telling you to believe him, I'm only passing it along. I have a lot more faith in Denver's ability to develop RBs than I do New England, personally. It would be hard to argue that Cobbs has any less natural ability than Gary, Anderson, or Droughns had when they began playing for Denver. I'm not assuming anything great with him, but I'm not willing to toss him aside at this point either. Time will tell.
Very good posting. CCobbs definitely has talent. I believe that he ran 4.4 40yd dash. He is occasionally elusive as well. His worst habit at Arkansas was on plays where there was nothing, he failed to even get that. I have no idea about his intelligence, but if he can learn to run hard every time, I doubt his lack of intelligence (if that is true) would be a handicap at Denver.
at FBGs falling all over themselves to hype the likes of Cedric Cobbs. 
AGILITY TESTS4.43 in the 40-yard dash … 39-inch vertical jump … 410-pound bench press … 475-pound squat … 31 7/8-inch arm length … 9-inch hands … Right-handed.Do you have a link for that or are you just making numbers up to support your beliefs?
i don't think there is any crazy hype over this guy. no one in here is saying he's the next 2000yrd back. just simply pointing out that he has some vaule especially in dynasty formats with deep rosters.yes cobbs hasn't done squat in his nfl career and it has been injury filled and there have been some motivation issues. but its not like LJ and LT are the two guys ahead of him, we're talking about ron dayne (who's been a disapointment till landing in denver) and tatum bell (who has had some injury problems of his own).I posted this in another thread, and it's relevant to this one, so I'll repeat it...
If Cedric Cobbs had any other logo on his helmet other than a Bronco, would we even be having this conversation?

From his NFL.com prospect profile.
The kid's got a lot of talent, always has, but injuries and a lack of motivation have been problems in the past. If he stays healthy and really has learned by not playing for the past couple years, he's get all the talent needed to outperform Dayne and Bell. If he gets a fair shot, he'll make things interesting at least.
Time will tell I guess.
, I gave up after twenty minutes, searching is not my stong suit.
