On a few weeks, he'll get 100 yards and a touchdown. He's okay. But if you can trade him for a decent proven wide receiver, like Wayne, do it. That's what I did.

Taking on a chance in starting Gado over Westbrook this weekend. Run Gado....Run!!!

I hear you NYCelt. Without McNabb at the helm the Giants' DEF will be all over Westy like white on rice. He is a hell of a player but minus McNabb all eyes will be on Westbrook as he is their lone offensive star. Those are my reasons for going with Gado this weekend. Moreover, if Favre can get into the red zone they are going to pound it in with Gado.
I think I'm gonna run Gado over Thomas Jones. Tomlinson is my primary back, and I think I can afford to roll the dice on Gado this week and see how well Jones responds to his return, plus the game could be slow moving and low scoring in Chicago this weekend. Not to mention I haven't had a player on Monday night in several weeks and I just like watching on of my players on Monday when possible.

Meanwhile, does this mean he's a definite starter for week 11 vs #26 rushing Defense?Samko Gado:
Wk11: MIN Rank Rushing Defense 26th
WK12: PHL Rank Rushing Defense 15th
WK13: CHI Rank Rushing Defense 8th
WK14: DET Rank Rushing Defense 13th
WK15: BAL Rank Rushing Defense 12th
WK16: CHI Rank Rushing Defense 8th
IMO Im am trying like hell to get rid of Gado and package him with a WR for Portis or someone similar.
His 2 games have been against:
PIT 3rd Rank Rusing Defense 26 carries 62 yards 2.3 per carry
ATL 20th Rank Rusing Defense 25 carries 103 yds 4.1 per carry.
Im nervous about Div1AA Gado for the remainder of the season. Im a Gado owner and you should be nervous too.

Green Bay - Samkon Gado, the NFC offensive player of the week after rushing for 103 yards and three touchdowns on his 23rd birthday against Atlanta, is not a cold-weather guy.
The rookie recalled playing a spring college football game at Liberty in 18-degree weather.
"That was just miserable. I lost the sensation in my fingers for three weeks," Gado said. "It might have been (frostbite). I just had a tingling sensation for three weeks."
The Packers practiced inside Thursday but with the doors open to the Don Hutson Center. The forecast for Monday night against Minnesota at Lambeau Field calls for slightly more moderate temperatures.
Still, by 10 p.m., the ground could be frozen. The weather can lead to fumbles, and Gado fumbled twice against Atlanta in the cozy Georgia Dome.
Gado agreed, and said he would wear gloves and would use a muff, or hand warmer if needed. He acknowledged that he simply had to protect the football as the weather gets colder.
"I think I'm just going to have to place extra emphasis on it," Gado said. "I didn't think there was the possibility of placing any more emphasis than I already have but I just have to find a way to get it done."
That might mean holding the ball with both hands when going for extra yardage on second and third effort.
"A lot of times it's a risk when you're trying to get that extra yard," Gado said. "You can do it better by kind of reaching one arm out but you're compromising the ball that way."

I'm not sure his YPC average matters all that much. The Packers have a good enough passing offense to get him into the red zone. Earlier in the season, Favre was scoring 2-4 TD's per game with short passes to his receivers inside the 20. Now, probably half of those will be run in by Gado. For your opponents, he is indeed a "Nightmare".
In Gado We Trust.
Xactly - as I pointed out earlier, this situation is all about opportunities. Gado is going to get touches, and some of those will come at the goal-line. Even during his "bad" start this year, he had 26/62/1 rushing and 1/9/0 receiving (27 opportunities), followed by 25/103/2 rushing and 4/5/1 receiving (29 chances).I'll be happy with a weekly total along the lines of his "bad" start (71 yards combined and 1 td) while hoping for an upside like his "good" start (108 yards combined and 3 TDs) -- YPC doesn't weigh heavily here, as Green Bay was mired among the bottom 4 teams in the NFL - right around 3.0 yards per carry as a team - before Gado ever touched a ball. Right now, they are 30th in the NFL averaging 3.1 yards per carry this season.
I'm happy to have Gado on the 2 rosters where I managed to snag him, as I indicated earlier in this string.

Because Green has proven much much more. This guy went from a no-name in college to starting RB for the rest of the season and was a WW pickup.

In Gado We Trust.
I'll be happy with a weekly total along the lines of his "bad" start (71 yards combined and 1 td) while hoping for an upside like his "good" start (108 yards combined and 3 TDs) -- YPC doesn't weigh heavily here, as Green Bay was mired among the bottom 4 teams in the NFL - right around 3.0 yards per carry as a team - before Gado ever touched a ball. Right now, they are 30th in the NFL averaging 3.1 yards per carry this season.
I'm happy to have Gado on the 2 rosters where I managed to snag him, as I indicated earlier in this string.

Your best argument against Gado is what ALMOST happened. I bet you'll make the same arguments after 5 games 600 yards 8 TD later. I can just hear it now..."What's the big deal, he ALMOST was goat in week 9."But why is Gado getting so much love yet Green was dissed in this forum?Also, Gado almost went to goat last week with his two fumbles.I'm not sure his YPC average matters all that much. The Packers have a good enough passing offense to get him into the red zone. Earlier in the season, Favre was scoring 2-4 TD's per game with short passes to his receivers inside the 20. Now, probably half of those will be run in by Gado. For your opponents, he is indeed a "Nightmare".

Well this what you had to say about Gado after the Steelers game
I'm a proud member of the Anti-Gado Man-Love Club.
Considering all that spew on Gado after the Steelers game, the BEST spew you could come up with this week is
I honestly expected much better anti Gado comments from you than that weak crap. :X But you're still a funny guy Fla\/\/ed. Keep it up

I'm seriously thinking of starting Gado over Portis. With another GB WR injury (Fergie went down in practice), it looks even more that Gabo will be asked to carry a bigger load.

Monday Night Football this week, another big game out of Gado in front of a national audience and this kid could be the front-runner for Rookie of the year.Gado won the Rookie of the Week Award last week.Also, by the by, how about Kansas City's RBs, Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson & Sam Gado. Yeah, I know they had to drop Gado but that is some crazy good evaluation of talent.Ronnie Brown 675 Yards 3 TDs totalCadillac Williams 516 yards 2TDs totalSam Gado 173 yards 4TDs total
