Curtis Martin and Fred Taylor are Busts! (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

Z, I read you brother. The very beginning of this thread I said that Jordan had become a short yardage specialist. He is basically becoming Moe Williams II. Martin as your #2 vs S.Davis, C.Dillon, T.Barber, J.Lewis...you get my point. I know Martin is still a #2 in larger leagues but he is not going to ever win you a game on his own it seems. Days of 120 yds and 2 TD are far behind him now.

No problem BS, I take them as well as giving them. I am sure everyone will let me know. It's not like a have something personal against these 2 but they just seemed due for disaster based on what is happening around them.And I hate Paul Hackett. I am sure FUCLA is fond of the former USC man too.

You are right about surrounding situations for both players, and while i think Martin is still an decent back, he is in no way capable of producing without a supporting cast. On the other hand, Fred Taylor is a player who could produce with 10 sacks of potatoes surrounding him on offense, as long as he stays healthy.

Conway looks rough too. Wasn't he an early top20 projection on the FBG site? And others too? Projections stink.

C'mon MOP. Your analysis was very good - you don't have to reach for Conway as well. Ya think Pennington to Testy may have hurt Conway's projections since then? Think he fell like a rock in drafts since Pennington's injury? Uh, yeah....

You're right. But I don't think any of us were buying CC as a top20 WR or even top25+.I take it back if it really bugs you.

Let's see.. Martin had 30 ydsTaylor did have 70 yds and 5 catches for another...10 yds. 0 TD for both on the season.

I almost took Martin in the 3rd but decided on Culpepper.I hope it works out.

It might be a good time to trade for Fragile Fred. Only 2 more games before JSmooth returns (I think.).

What I'm talking about is that there is NO guarantee that Smith will be back after 4 games.

Taylor does not even seem to be an option in or around the goal line. 0 TD from both of these guys.They cannot be helping owners win games. If you have them with Priest Portis or Lewis than fine, but many drafted Taylor as a possible #1.

You should probably add Ladanian Tomlinson (he no longer deserves LT2) to the list. AND he was a consensus #1. (frustrated LT2 owner)

 

[metoo]

Taylor has done very well the last 2 weeks for me. I'm in a 1pt/rec league. I think Taylor had 5 rec today. No way he's a bust.

 

[ctriopelle]

Want a season killer?I have LT & dillon in 1 leage, and Edge, Taylor and Martin in another. Thought I was going to be deep at RB and able to trade for other needs about now, and I'm basically fXXXX'd in both! I'm just hoping my contest entry & suicide pool keep me interesded the rest of the season....

Well Taylor broke the 100 yard mark but Martin looks terrible.Neither has hit paydirt.
