Love that Gado! (1 Viewer)

Gado first squad in training camp; Gado first squad in pre-season; 2006 could be Gado!

The Press Gazette reports Packers HC Mike McCarthy mentioned only one player who won’t attend this weekend's bonus mini-camp, RB Ahman Green, because of a charity commitment. Green is recovering from a torn quadriceps tendon and won’t be ready to practice until late August anyway.

people are sleeping on this guy because he's an undrafted free agent. look at the numbers he put up in what..6, 7 starts last yr. he went over 100 yds against Atlanta, Philly, and Det during that time..and he was no stranger to the end zone either..7 total Tds. If JJ arrington or even Cedric Houston put up those numbers in that timeframe, people would be all over them..but for some reason Gado gets no respect.

with some more experience this guy could easily be the real deal. all he needs is the opportunity (and he'll get it behind gimpy Ahman and Davenport). he also has the attitude to be a great player in this league

 
If the Packers season rests on Gado... that is not good. I can easily see Brett throwing for 3500 - 4200 yards this year with 30 TD's and 20 ints. Gado... maybe 1000 yards if the full time starter but it will be an ugly 1000 yards. The WCO uses the running game to maintain the passing game.

If Green is anywhere healthy he is the starter though and his ceiling is higher than Gado's.

Gado played in 8 total games last season, in one game he had 1 carry and another game he had 6 carries, so you can toss those out as backup stuff and conclude he played in 6 games. Toss out the 53 yards he got on those 7 carries and you have 530 yards in 6 games plus another 77 in receiving with 7 total TDS.This equates to 1712 yards, 17 TDS over a 16 game season. Now I'm not saying he'd do this, just wondering how you came up with 1000 "Ugly" yards???????? :confused:

 
I don't understand all the Gado love. If Green can't go, Davenport will surely be next in line. Gado follows in the footsteps of such illuminaries as Nick Goings, Dominic Rhodes, and the guy who backed up Anderson in Atlanta. He has a long way to go before he is a starting RB in this league. He could get there. I like him. But his time has not yet arrived.

While I have no doubts that Favre is still capable of having a 4,200 yd, 30 TD, 20 int season, the wreck that is the Packers WR corp, makes that highly unlikely.While I agree that Green has a higher ceiling than Gado if healthy, especially now that Fisher is gone (Green has excellent hands), the fact that only 8 out of 10 people with the a torn quad tendon returned to their same profession and then, out of those 8 people that made it back, only half of those returned to 100% pre injury form, sure stack the odds against Green.

Also quite a bit higher on Gado than maybe a 1,000 yards.

Considering he had almost 600 yards in only 7.5 games running behind last years line, I figure 1,000 yards is a stone cold, lead pipe lock for Gado, if he's the starter for 16 games with the additions of Spitz & Colledge to this years O'line.

My :2cents: FWIW

The guy averaged 100 yards and 1 TD per game last year in 6 games. I think his time has already arrived. The funny thing is he is so inexperienced and can get much much better, I dont' understand all of the Gado hate. :wall:

What do you mean he has a long way to go before he's a starting RB in this league. He was a starting running back for the second half of last season and performed admirably. Davenport is coming off injury too and hasn't been able to stay healthy for an entire game, let alone an entire season.

Anybody who would draft Davenport before Gado, let me know so we can join a league together. Gado has proved more in one year than Davenport has in his entire career, and it's not even a discussion. In normal leagues Davenport will go as a late late flyer or go undrafted as where Gado will go in the 7-10 rounds and I personally feel it should be higher now knowing that Green won't do anything until a week or two before the season begins.

I should clarify that I don't own Green, I do own Davenport and Gado in one league (the same league) where I took Gado in the 9th round and Davenport in the 21st round. :popcorn:

Just saying, but if you throw out his worst game you have to throw out his best game to make a better comparison. The extremes cancel out the norm.

The best part...Taking "only" his good games, and he was averaging over 25 carries per game. Not sure that's gonna happen for him in 2006.

I threw out a game where he got 1 and 6 carries, that doesn't mean you throw out his two best games, he didn't start those games, he got spot duty, we're talking about if he was the starter, remember?

You can talk about what he did last year, but if a player can't pick up the blitz, he won't be seeing the field too much. As with the majority, once Green is healthy, he'll be the clear-cut starter. Sorry N.T.!RAPTURE

Half of his receiving yards came on one play so you cant count all 77 yards as productive yardage. Take into account the situational stats meaning Gado was really the only option in the back field last year. Fisher was not an every down back when healthy. Gado, while putting up decent stats was the only option with many carries to only go to him.He had 103 carries to get those 396 yards... ave of 3.84 ypc. Now, that is a little under the NFL average is it not? Average was at 4.06 if all carries/yards are added in there. Like I said before it will be an ugly 1,000 yards if he is the main carrier this year. The range of Gado was 7 - 171 yards and he had 10 carries and 29 carreis to get those.

So, if anyone wants to promote Gado as the heir to the Green Bay running game, go ahead. But, you might find yourself on here complaining about Gado and Green Bay more often than not. Fantasy wise... he is nothing more than a RB2-3... about rank of 24-30 in a 12 teamer.

His ypc was hurt a bit by two of his 6 games he started or carried hte load in coming against the two best rush defenses in the league (Pitt and Chicago). As such, one third of his carries came against the top two defenses in the league and he still put up a ypc around 4. You show me another RB that had a ypc around 4 despite having a third of his carries come against the two rush defenses in the league and I'll show you a guy that you just made up.Heck, even in those games he put up 70/1 and 90/1, or 13 and 15 fantasy points respectively. If that is what I have to complain about.....13 and 15 fantasy points against two of the best run defenses, then I'll surely take it.

 
What Gado did last year running the ball for Green Bay, is undeniable. Yet there are certain posters who are eager to find a way to dismiss, or explain away, those accomplishments.

Why that is, I don't know. :shrug:

But to ignore Gado's potential as the starting RB for Green Bay, given the possible draft day improvements to the O'line, would be a rather large mistake, IMO.

Personally I think it is between Gado and Green - September, maybe October will tell which. If Gado takes the job it will be a great feel good story - If Green we have a candidate for comeback player. Either way I beleive the GB running game will be better than most people believe.Glad I got both of them in the only league I am even close to the GB running back situation...

Gado is a pre-med student who could easily be at a hospital right now working but decided to take a chance on football. The guy really is that smart. That tells me it will take him a lot less time to pick up a new offense and blitz protection than your average Joe who focused most of his time just on the football field.

Update: Davenport, who is coming back from ankle surgery performed last October, won't be ready until training camp sometime in late July or early August, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

I don't buy it, ATL , Philly , Detroit were porous run defenses last year. He's lost a few linemen and has the King of INT's, Brett Fav-ra returning and NO Javon Walker. A New coaching staff and Charles Woodson. oh, JOY!!lol

I like Gado, I just don't see the Packers offense being any better than Cleveland at this point. I do feel that Green is finished so maybe Gado gets 1100 yards and 5 tds? That's ho-hum. just my opinion.

I don't understand your schtick with Gado and bumping these threads. You seem to be gloating based upon your stance that he'd never amount to anything in Green Bay, but the interests of people here extend beyond the Packers. The rest of us just saw him traded for a guy who was drafted early in the third round only one year ago, and by a team whose offense is lead by a guy in a RB friendly offense and now with nobody but Wali Lundy and Ron Dayne to compete with for playing time. Nobody's predicting the next Walter Payton here, but OTOH you have to be pretty happy about Gado getting an opportunity to succeed if you have him stashed on your roster.

I don't expect you to understand anything.Not gloating at all. I bumped three threads that made for interesting reading considering he was traded a few days ago and many people want to know about him since he's on a new team.
