I already told you Gado was RB depth for me.

Yet you acted like he could walk on water and split the Red Sea. How quickly you back off your stance. Run away now.

I am loving my trade of him for a 2006 1st round rookie pick

Nope that's not at all how I acted Yao. I acted like I didn't think very much of your advice, except to do the exact opposite

Something tells me you are getting undeserved enjoyment out of this. As part of this revelation do they invalidate all the TDs Gado scored in prior weeks?

In Yao's mind those 4 TD's and 178 combined yards never happened

 

[Brewdude]

Thanks for the info. I had Fisher selected to drop on waivers tonight. I've pulled the request and will reevaluate my situation.

At least this thread has been useful for something other than a pissing match.

 

[4timeloser]

Ya dropped him myself. His schedule gets brutal weeks 15 -16. cant see him doin better than my other RB2's S davis, K Jones or FWP. So i jettisoned his butt and got a replacement for My QB Bulger. Not a great day for my squad !!

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

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.

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.

Because we love nuggets off the waiver wire that can help us win a championship. Such players are fantasy gold. They spark the imagination and give us bragging rights. And when we hit the mother lode, it allows us to reaffirm our fantasy deity status by crushing lesser mortals in our leagues using the very player(s) they snubbed. Yes, I have a Gado complex.

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

Certainly glad I didn't pay any attention to the Dynamic Duo Gado haters, Fla\/\/ed & Yao Ming

Man, those guys did hate Gado.But I'm ready for some Gado, some Monday Night Gado!

Here are the highlights, I love it!Fla\/\/ed

Gado=One Hit Wonder

I watched the game and I'm a proud member of the Anti-Gado Man-Love Club.

(Previously Posted: Sherman knows what he has in Gado) --> A 3rd to 4th string RB that was pressed into duty due to injuries.

What is also amusing is that if Ahman Green averaged 2.3 yards a carry against Pitt we would have multiple threads about how worthless he is

His yards per carry were not above average. If Ahman Green put up those numbers yesterday people would be complaining again that he was a bust.

Everyone wants to think they found a diamond in the rough with Gado but he will be just another Rondell Mealey.

Please remember it took Gado 26 carries to get to 62 rushing yards.

Yao Ming

Gado's performance was poor no matter which way you choose to slice it. He didn't even look as good as Jonathan Wells today.

I watched the entire Packers game, as well as the Houston game. Gado is no Jonathan Wells. Gado had a few nice runs, but his overall performance was quite poor.

It would have been nice to see Gado break even ONE tackle. Dude went down like a sack of potatoes at the slightest contact

18 of Gado's 26 carries went for 2 yards or less. Very little tackle breaking on his part and overall a very poor performance.

Yes, but most of them face 8-man fronts the majority of the time. Somehow I don't think Gado required that to be contained.

The Nigerian looks "gassed" all the time. Did you notice the bloated belly on that chap?

Oh boy, that's what you get for talking Gado down to EVERYBODY without even considering the situation. You were set against Gado from the get-go without looking at the entire situation (Poor O-Line, 1st significant playing time, limited time with team, Great Run Def.) Take it down a notch next time and it won't be so embarrassing. Cheers!

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

FlaVVed and Yao Ming afraid to post now and running their mouth to everybody about how Gado sucked? Sucks being close minded doesn't it.

           

Weak.

But true

Oh really?

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

Apples what is your point?  You think his teammates and his coach are going to come out and say what it really is, which is a below average performance?  If he keeps that up he won't have a job in the NFL much longer.

I wasn't below average for the Packers. In fact, it was well above average. It was the best rushing performance all year for that Green Bay. Gado rushed for more yards yesterday than Ahman Green, or any other Packer RB, did in any game all year and he did it in his first game in the NFL. I'd say that's actually a pretty good way to start an NFL career.

You're a ####### idiot.Where were you last week? Nowhere to be found. You're pathetic. A pathetic little dweeb.

After last week you were hiding like the little scared ##### you are.

Gado had no blocking whatsoever last night. He didn't look good at all, but he looked awesome last week. And the week before he did a good job. He has a bunch of upside and while no one in any of these threads was proclaiming him to be the next Priest, you were crowing about how horrible he was.

I really hate ####### like you who spout their ####, are proven wrong, go hiding like a little baby. Then the guy has a bad week, and poof! Out you come.....

You have no clue at all.

Oh and I don't have to ask if that "i" in your name stands for ignorant, I KNOW it does.

We don't hear a peep from you guys, then this week, he has a bad game, not entirely his fault AT ALL, and here you guys are again..... Running your mouths.

That my friend is ignorance at it's best. And I cannot stand that kind of ####.

At least have the balls after being proven wrong against the Falcons to come back and say, "Maybe we were wrong, he had a great game" Nope you guys totally ignored these posts until today. Then all we hear is blah blah blah BS. Takes a man to admit he might be wrong.

WRONG!Where did I write that Gado is a POS? All I wrote was that he was a one-hit wonder. Then after last week, some were quick to blast me as owned. I wasn't going to respond to that because is was laughable to see that written so prematurely. Yes, it remains to be seen what Gado can do but I still think he doesn't have what it takes to be a starter in the NFL.

My point was that we shouldn't be so quick to think Gado was or could be the real deal. We have seen this situation many times in fantasy football. Guys want to think they found a gem and are ready to proclaim that they are a fantasy god.

After Gado's first game, my point was that if Ahman Green produced those numbers against Pitt, many people would have started more threads on what a disappointment he was. Yet, behind that same offensive line, Gado was now a viable play. He fumbled twice last week, which I mentioned, but some were quick to ignore that. Last night he fumbles and Sherman puts him to the bench for the most of the second half. I'm sure his numbers really hurt fantasy owners yesterday.

 

[nightshift]

Gado will start, but on a short leash. Something tells me Gado will be working hard on his ball handling technique this week.

 

[Deadzone21]

Something tells me you are getting undeserved enjoyment out of this. As part of this revelation do they invalidate all the TDs Gado scored in prior weeks?

In Yao's mind those 4 TD's and 178 combined yards never happened

Got to admit that MNF was my first chance to actually watch him run and it didn't look good, but the criticism I hear doesn't bother to explain how successfully he ran in weeks 9 and 10.

I do see the issue of fumbling, but wonder if it is due to lack of experience, and can the coaching staff do something to fix it...or is the coaching that bad in GB they just bench him for it?

LOL...if your stance was that Gado was a "one-hit-wonder" (your words, not mine), than you are already wrong, because he had 2 good games, and you really shouldn't be rubbing anything in anyone's face at this point. I think all of this back and forth "in-your-face" stuff on Gado is silly. It is still way too early to pass judgement on this guy.

You know, sometimes these guys really do turn out to be gems. In fact, most years there are one or two of them just waiting to be snagged, but only if you're open-minded to the possibility that a guy you've basically never heard of just might be about to blow up.Last year you had out-of-nowheres in Droughns and Goings.

For awhile there, Denver was producing a WW gem each year. Even TD started out that way, IIRC.

Heck in my league, Priest Holmes was snagged off the midseason WW the first year he was in KC.

And this year, for two weeks anyway, Gado sure looked like this year's Cinderella. If you ignored that, then you're really quite a bit less FF savvy than you think you are.

Yeah, it's too early to pass judgement for his HOF vote. Not to criticize, but we're talking FF here. You have to make a quick judgement call or your toast on the waiver wire. In my league, if you snooze, you lose.If you guess High and are wrong, you end up with a dud on your roster or a loss because you started him.

If you guess LOW and passed, you missed an opportunity to pick up a starting RB from WW/FA which could have helped your team.

Sometimes I have nothing more than a couple of sentences from some press release or a 2 second comment on ESPN, which is why I like the banter and arguments on this board.

Go ahead, pass judgement...Right or Wrong, you're gonna have to act on it soon and then live with it. Luckily it's just a game and a mistake isn't too serious. Unless you play in my leagues with my buddies, then a mistake is brutal.

By the way I picked him up. Started Gado in week 11. Cost me only a couple points since I only benched C.Portis for him, but still won my H2H match.

 

[thatguy]

In Eric Karabell's blog today, he dissects the fall of Samkon Gado. It's just funny 'cause I'm sure last week he dissected the rise of Samkon Gado and pimped him as a solid start the rest of the way. Karabell is a joke and it pains me that he gets paid to offer bad advice every week. Not only that, but he tries to sound witty and ends up sounding like a complete #####.

I started Gado as my RB3 in the flex this weekend. My other two runningbacks - Larry Johnson (not a Priest owner) and Rueben Droughns. I only wish Gado would have played first so the poor dumb ******* that I was matched up against could have had some fleeting hope.

PRACTICE SQUAD RB... It's not like he is just an undrafted RB.. He sat on the practice squad all year free for ANY team to claim him.. Obviously no team saw anything that would make him an NFL RB.. Continue to choke on your backing of a guy you picked up without any clue to seeing talent. Cause if you saw the game Monday you saw he doesn't ahve the talent to be a good back..

Here's my take on what happened Monday Night. Against the Falcons he ran hard, made a decision on where to run and went there, hard. After looking at the film, it was obvious to him and the coaching staff that he made some wrong decisions. So Monday night it was pretty evident he wasn't running on instinct, rather he was thinking too much, which slowed him down considerably resulting in a horrible performance.He doesn't get the whole blame though, as the O line couldn't open any holes for anyone.

We don't know how good he can be, the fumbling is a problem. It's 3 games and he has shown flashes of greatness. He can block out of the backfield, correctly picking up the blitzers, and he has some pretty good hands catching the ball.

He needs work, but I can see him being the featured RB next year with a lot of practice, and the right coaching.

I think all of this back and forth "in-your-face" stuff on Gado is silly. It is still way too early to pass judgement on this guy.

PRACTICE SQUAD RB... It's not like he is just an undrafted RB.. He sat on the practice squad all year free for ANY team to claim him.. Obviously no team saw anything that would make him an NFL RB.. Continue to choke on your backing of a guy you picked up without any clue to seeing talent. Cause if you saw the game Monday you saw he doesn't ahve the talent to be a good back..

The counter to that is if you saw the Atlanta game you saw he DOES have the talent to be a good back. Obviously you are shooting from the hip here and haven't seen him but one time.

 

[-OZ-]

Here's my take on what happened Monday Night. Against the Falcons he ran hard, made a decision on where to run and went there, hard. After looking at the film, it was obvious to him and the coaching staff that he made some wrong decisions. So Monday night it was pretty evident he wasn't running on instinct, rather he was thinking too much, which slowed him down considerably resulting in a horrible performance.

He doesn't get the whole blame though, as the O line couldn't open any holes for anyone.

We don't know how good he can be, the fumbling is a problem. It's 3 games and he has shown flashes of greatness. He can block out of the backfield, correctly picking up the blitzers, and he has some pretty good hands catching the ball.

He needs work, but I can see him being the featured RB next year with a lot of practice, and the right coaching.

It may just be that I want to believe in Gado, but this seems to be right on target.

WRONG!

Where did I write that Gado is a POS? All I wrote was that he was a one-hit wonder. Then after last week, some were quick to blast me as owned. I wasn't going to respond to that because is was laughable to see that written so prematurely. Yes, it remains to be seen what Gado can do but I still think he doesn't have what it takes to be a starter in the NFL.

I don't disagree with you, and I don't believe in Gado at all. I don't know where people are inferring that I do like Gado - I've never made a comment about the guy's ability whatsoever. In fact, my post states that it is too early for me to say anything. My point was that if some says Gado is a one-hit wonder, and he has two good games, then that person was wrong - categorically. Given this, I believe that person should not be on anyone else's case about how "wrong" they are or how "right" he/she is on this issue, because it lacks clarity. As I said, "one-hit wonder" were his words, not mine. If he said "flash in the pan", then I wouldn't have a problem.

My other point was that it is too early for anyone to be bragging about their opinions (positive or negative) on Gado right now, and that all the in your face stuff from both sides is silly.

And (to another poster) yes, you can make a move in FF without passing any judgement about whether or not Gado is a legit player. You can pick up the guy, put him on your bench, watch him play well, and still think there is a high probability he will suck next week.

I'm also not the one that had to throw out owned comments so quickly in this short career like some guys did last week.

Sweet Gezus you're anal. Arguing between one hit wonder and flash in the pan? C'mon, that's absurd.

Anyways, my first post was supposed to be light-hearted, but I guess it didn't come across that way.

Why use the word "one" at all? why not say something less refutable? But I guess this kind of diction should be expected of a four digiter.

If you want to play semantics, he didn't say one GAME wonder, he said one hit, which can mean any number of "one things" namely one season.

It may not mean so literally, but taken in context by non anal retentive posters, it means someone who won't last long in a FF/NFL sense.

But, if he meant "one season", then he'd be wrong too, unless he believes Gado will play well for the rest of the year. Right now, Gado has had 0 good seasons.

I would like to qualify this last statement by saying that it was made to further emphasize my anal-retentive position, in case there was any confusion about that.

All I wrote was that he was a one-hit wonder.

Actually Fla\/\/ed after the Packers ~ vs ~ Steelers game (Gado's first game by the way) you wrote a lot more than that.

Gado=One Hit Wonder

Have you not seen the manlove for Gado by some people here?

I'm a proud member of the Anti-Gado Man-Love Club.

please don't tell me you are one of those Gado man-lovers?

Everyone wants to think they found a diamond in the rough with Gado but he will be just another Rondell Mealey.

Now remember Fla\/\/ed, you wrote all of the above after only ONE GAME from Gado.

Then after last week, some were quick to blast me as owned. I wasn't going to respond to that because is was laughable to see that written so prematurely.

So let me see if I've got this right Fla\/\/ed. After seeing Gado for only ONE GAME, your comments on Gado were neither laughable nor premature, but after seeing Gado for TWO GAMES, other peoples comments suddenly became laughable & premature?

Yeah rrrrighttt. Spin it baby!
