Ha ha. Wow Vince Can Fly, I didn't realize how much having Lamont Jordan as a keeper is clouding your judgment on this subject, heck look at your avatar for pete sake. Get a grip already. You really need to seperate your ownership of Lamont from your decision making, its getting outta hand. Yes you are excited about having Jordan, but saying he is "a top 15 back and 2nd rounder FOR SURE"? LOL
I laugh at Oakland. They went and signed Lamont Jordan for 5 years at 27.5 million and then the Jets just go around and sign Blaylock for 5 years for 11 million. Lamont Jordan is worth 16.5 more million dollars than Blaylock?? I think not. In a time when Oakland needed to strengthen their team on defense, they go out and sign a backup RB for 27.5 million. Thats some nice decision making.
I still have not read one good post as to why he will not be a top 15 back next season. I want someone to justify L.Jordan not being a top 15 back next season.
I have not read one convincing post about how Lamont will be a top 15 back. Could you show me your rankings of where Lamont lands and who you put him above, I am curious. You speak how Jordan is a Top 15 back or a even a second rounder for that matter.
RBS who are ranked ahead of Jordan.
Alexander
Holmes
Tomlinson
Edgerrin
J. Lewis
Dillon
Deuce
Green
F. Taylor
Barber
Martin
Davis
Portis
Rudi
Westbrook
McGahee
And Other RBs who would be ranked around the same.
Julius Jones
Duce Staley
Brown
Jackson
Dunn
Kevin Jones
Thomas Jones
Pittman
Tatum Bell
Foster
Any of the 3 big RB rookies who get drafted into a starter position
Thats 28 RBs right there who could very well do better than Lamont and that wouldn't even be a stretch if many of them were. I can't believe you are honestly sitting there and saying that Lamont will be a top 15 back FOR SURE. You need to stop ranking him on "potential".
Now add in the Premiere WRs and Premiere QBs and you are getting to around the end of the 3rd round. In no way is Lamont a 2nd round selection, well I guess if its a 30 team league.
J.Jones only had three good games last year and is playing in a system where he will get a lot of touches but his question marks are high, especially with R.Lee and E.George there, both of these guys are vouchers. I don't know if E.George will still be there or what Dallas' situation is with him but I know Parcells likes R.Lee who is also a young back with some potential.
YOU JUST LOST ALL CREDIBILITY!!! LOLYou are saying that Rashard Lee will see playing time with Julius Jones healthy? Ha ha. Ummm....What the heck would you know about Parcells liking Rashard Lee..... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I can't believe how much Lamont Jordan changing teams has made you think like a guppy now.
Jackson is great but will only be a true stud once M.Faulk retires. Because, St.Louis throws the ball with a greater ratio probably more then any other team in the nfl and when you are throwing the ball would you rather have M.Faulk coming out of the backfield to catch it or S.Jackson??
Guess what team will throw the ball tons with randy Moss and Jerry Porter as their WRs? Oh thats right, the team that Jordan plays for. And guess who is a great back in receiving situations....Zereoue. Oakland passed the ball 65 out of 100 plays last year. This may decline due to Lamont coming in, but whos to say it would change with Moss coming in as well.
C.Brown is a good back but his up straight up running stlye has caused him injury ever since college and this trend occured again last season in his first year as a starter..
What injuries has his upright running style caused? I think I must have you mistaken for someone who pretends they know what they are talking about and makes stuff up to prove their point.
LaMont Jordan things going for him. Hungry to prove himself, and is playing for a team that will show why they went out and aquired him. He is someone who I feel comfortable drafting before any of the above rb's.
But Oakland probably won't want to show off their other signings in one of the best WRs in the game and Porter...right? And I'm sure other players in the NFL aren't hungry or out there to prove themselves. LOL
T.Barber had a great fantasy season last year, however; he is one year older and Coughlin last year wanted to use a goal line back other then Barber but R.Dayne failed miserably so I am assuming the Giants will bring some one in for that role to keep Tiki fresh as what was supposed to happen last year. In 2003 Tiki had only 5 TD's combined and only 2 were rushing so I assume his role at the goal line will again be diminished with one more year on his legs.
You are ranking a Backup RB going into the worst rushing team in the league ahead of the 2nd best fantasy RB in the league last year.
Good thinking!!Tiki has quashed his fumbling problems and has done fine on the goaline. Oakland may have released Wheatley, but they still have Crockett, the goal line and short yardage machine.
I know I am extremely high on L.Jordan but watching this guy run I can't help but see how he won't turn into a stud
Stop talking like you are a scout and know Jordan from watching him play. I was there with you on every Sunday and it was very rare to have any Jets games on the tv. You are not a "professional" :rotflmao: Thanks.
. We haven't really seen Jordan's receiving skills btw since he hasn't played that much. Jackson has a year in the Rams offense so he will be better prepared.
