Chargers now list Jackie Battle as RB starter (1 Viewer)

I don't usually do this but..this has already been reported in several threads dedicated to this discussion. What was the point of creating a new thread?

 
personally, I appreciate the info. I didn't know until I saw this thread. Some of us don't read every thread cover to cover.

This. I know lots of folks want to keep a 1000 post going in order to keep it all together, but this title got my attention. I may have skipped over an old thread to avoid having to weed through chit chat about him.

:goodposting: Appreciate the notice Hairy. Mods can always combine the threads if they don't believe it needs it's own.
 
Who cares about Battle's ROS value. All I know is in one league I picked him up as a flex spot against NO this week. Now I'm liking a potential RB2 at best for this week.

 
I had not seen this in any other thread. It is not news? I thought it was.
I mean this thread and this thread are both sitting on the front page. Even if it wasn't reported in either one, why not just post the news in their respective threads? No one likes clutter.
Because he wanted to get the news out. I appreciate the new thread. I might have missed the news otherwise. I don't have Matthews, so I probably wouldn't have opened that thread. The Battle thread? I might have opened it, but the new thread for this new information is appropriate IMO. Besides, it's not my job or your job to decide if a new thread is thread worthy, that's what the Mods are for.

I hadn't seen it reported so I thought it was useful as well. Funny that you went from "this is already being reported" to "well it would fit well elsewhere" though.
 
You guys are right. I guess it wouldn't make sense to scroll down a quarter of a page and post this info in the ***Official JACKIE BATTLE Thread*** instead. My mistake.

Lot of schtick going on in that thread from last year when JC went down. Count me among those that didn't feeling like diving back in there for relevant news.
 
Ryan Mathews trade value?

Thinking of putting a line in the water for him....

AJ Smith is like the Rich Kotite of GMing

Michael Gehlken Michael Gehlken ‏@UTgehlkenTeam spokesman on why Battle listed No. 1 RB ahead of Mathews on online depth chart: "He just started last week, so that's why he's there."

Couple of good articles with direction (at least for the next couple of weeks):http://www.chargers.com/news/article-1/Turner-Reveals-Plan-for-Mathews-Battle/5b9bfa39-98c6-43dd-9de3-03949e8a726ehttp://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/oct/01/chargers-easing-ryan-mathews-action/
That is interesting.New trend alert here...RB starters and RB closers.It looks like Mathews has been moved to the closer role.
 
I think both Matthews and Battle could put up nice FF points this week. I wouldn't worry too much about the depth chart on the web site. Eventually Matthews's name will be at the top, though I expect Battle to get significant touches if/while both are healthy.

Per Roto:

According to the Chargers, Jackie Battle vaulted Ryan Mathews on the team's official depth chart because "he just started last week, so that's why he's there."In other words, it's semantics. Although the Chargers' actions have officially gone beyond simple message sending, it's clear they're not on the verge of a sea change in the backfield. Battle's big week came against a non-competitive Chiefs team, and the 29-year-old spare part simply isn't talented enough to out-carry Mathews when games are on the line. Beat writer Michael Gehlken "wouldn't read into" the depth chart shenanigans, and believes it's "likely only a matter of time" before Mathews moves back ahead of Battle. However, Gehlken does expect Battle to remain involved, perhaps as the goal-line back. That would be unideal for Mathews' fantasy value, but he's simply too talented not to re-emerge as a RB1, and soon. Mathews remains the top buy-low candidate in all of fantasy football.

I have zero interest in reading a Jackie Battle thread. I have zero interest reading a Ryan Matthews thread. I do have interest in reading that Battle is now starting ahead of Matthews.
:confused:
I don't have Battle or Matthews rostered. I know that Battle has been getting a little playing time, but not really enough to make me wade into a thread about him unless I'm dying for RB help (which I'm not). However, if Battle is now starting above Matthews, that all of a sudden makes Battle interesting, and is news that I otherwise would have missed.

So we need three threads on the 1st page basically saying the same thing so lazy people can get their info.Cool.

Ah, I get it. So today when I realized W.Powell saw more field time than R.Williams last week, instead of posting it the William Powell thread I should have instead created a new topic. Thanks for the heads up.

Battle started the game last week. This thread is not breaking the news.

I'm just thankful we have so many self-appointed forum police here to keep these threads full of relevant material.

Actually we do. I don't follow the Battle threads as they have "jumped the shark" long ago and seem to humor a subset of the FFA more than the SP, which is fine but not for me. I don't follow Ryan Mathews cuz I purposely avoided him for his injury history and always felt he was overvalued. But if not for the headline of the OP, it's news that would have passed me by. Certainly newsworthy as a separate thread as a topic of the day. Interesting to me to see a division rival bench their star RB starter they were building around. :coffee:

You're welcome.I have never tried to be "forum police" and didnt even do so here. I do however, reserve the right to point out my opinion on things.

IMO it's pointless clutter to start a new thread on something when there are already 2 threads on the 1st page on the same topic.

Me to. Because I am sick of the front page being polluted with multiple threads about the same topic. Self appointed forum police spamming a thread is a lot better than people spamming the entire forum with redundant threads.
 
Hey, I like the idea of keeping topics bumped to reduce clutter in the forum. It's probably a losing battle to engage in this type of back and forth every time a new person or one who doesn't care starts a new topic. The mods should pin something where everyone can see it clearly when they get into the forum to try and dissuade it. If that can't happen, then expect some people to do things differently when they visit the forum.

It's not newsworthy because he started the game LAST week and that is the only reason he was listed on the depth chart this week.Funny that people claim to "not care" about Mathews or Battle but will open and post in a thread simply b/c the title is provocative and ignoring the fact that there is no actual news here other than the fact that Chargers.com updated the depth chart based on who started a game LAST week.
