Do you really think if you have Jamal (1 Viewer)

[Blackjacks]

I have Anderson but I don't think he plays a role in Jamal's touches unless Jamal really struggles (like last year). I doubt the thought of Rbbc here but want to get others opinions. I, like others, think Jamal is being alittle undervalued. I don't think he's top 10 or maybe even 15 but I think top 20 is definetly not out of the questions.

What's your thoughts?

Ignore the 1st option.....Can't get if fixed, just yes or no please.

 

[Banger]

No. Unless you've got a deep roster their offense isn't good enough to look up two roster spots. I usually only handcuff RB's on top rushing offenses.

Are we relatively certain it won't be RBBC in Bal?

If Jamal sucks behind that line, Mike won't fare any better.

Basically gave Anderson away in a dynasty deal the other day (20 man rosters) -- rookie 2.04 for 2.06 + Anderson to the Lewis owner. Was going to drop him during cutdowns regardless and gained 2 draft spots for what it's worth.

 

[BusMan]

Yeah, I'm attempting to trade him for a 5th rounder in a 12 team, Keep 4, Roster 15 league. I think thats a steal if the guy goes for it.

 

[TheFanatic]

No.

Talk about selling low...

Mike Anderson's value will rebound. I don't know that he'll be the starter, but Jamal Lewis is not such a sturdy back, and Mike Anderson looks like really tough runner with some receiving skills. Given how cheap Anderson will come, I think he's a great value play this year, and that the market is overreacting to his new team.

 

[radballs]

I think the poll is flawed unless you go into specifics about how much you'd have to pay to handcuff him.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

The more you think Anderson is necessary as a handcuff, the more you should question your ownership of Jamal.

Jamal if healthy is a great back. How quickly people forget. The entire Ravens team imploded last year and the guy was in jail. He didn't have an offseason and maybe jail had an effect on him. Now if it's a year later had time to clear his head, get healthy and get in shape.

If they can get McNair, improve the line, and have the old ravens defense return Jamal could be a tremendous value this year. He's only 26 and I'm targeting him in all my drafts.

 

[jurb26]

Absolutly not.... meaning you do not need MA.

For the record, I think Jamal can have a decent year. He's several years removed from that ridiculous 600 carry season or whatever it was. He's not recovering from ankle surgery IN PRISON.

He'll be healthy and in shape to start the season.

I guess it all amounts to what kind of League you're in...

...don't know how many people remember this, but during Gibbs' first stint with the Redskins, he brought an aging Gerald Riggs on board, who evolved into a designated 'Touchdown Scorer'. His yardage stats weren't anything to write home about, but over 78 carries in 1991, he scored a whopping 11 TD's over 16 games.

Perhaps given the last couple of seasons, Anderson was acquired as an 'insuranc policy', just as PJ Daniels, a back in a similar mold was brought in as a 'future investment', as that type of back is consistent with the rushing offense philosopty in Baltimore. One might say the Ravens are even considering extending a healthy Lewis' production by limiting him from that sort of close quarters pounding by employing a back who's bread and butter is exactly that. Like Riggs, Anderson is a back with a nose for the end zone, and I believe he was brought in by the Ravens primarily for that reason, and will be used accordingly.

In Leagues where TD's are weighted over performance, there might be draft day scenarios worth considering where passing on Jamal early, if value exists elsewhere, and nailing Anderson late, at extreme value, is the way to go...

...just something else to consider.

Thank you whoever for fixing my post, I couldn't figure it out. Also thanks for the feedback. Almost everyone is pretty much on the same side as I am. A very good running back in a situation that you really don't know what to think about, If healthy he's the guy, but that's assuming if heathy. The guy has been very steady throughout his career "again when healthy". I got Mike like I said earlier but I really don't think he was needed. If Jamal is healthy he'll have a good year.

 

[zamboni]

I also wouldn't spend a lot to get MA, but I think he'd be a great potential value if you can get him late.

After last year, I have to think that Billick will be giving Jamal a short leash to get off to a good start. If he falters early, that could open the door for MA.
