ALMOST had a TD? Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades Padawan.BTW I predicted rusing attempts, rushing yards and TD's I didnt predict receiving yards so go:He had 111 total yards; hardly "getting stuffed". Don't quit your day job.19 carries for 77 yards, No TDs.
Damn I should start a second career as a guru I had the carries right and was only off by 12 yards
No, that's getting stuffed especially if someone was counting on him as a RB1. McGahee owners must have been pi$$ed to see Musa Smiff vulture that TD too.He had 111 total yards; hardly "getting stuffed". Don't quit your day job.19 carries for 77 yards, No TDs.

Another example of not watching the game. McGahee looked terrible last night. He was stuffed for most of the night.He had 111 total yards; hardly "getting stuffed". Don't quit your day job.19 carries for 77 yards, No TDs.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda, DIDN'T.
Nice call Flexmaster.
on that pace he would have been around 7th in yardage last year. If that's getting stuffed I'll take that all day....
He never lost yardage on any play and averaged over 5 yards per touch. I'm sure a lot of McGahee owners are not pleased with the lack of redzone touches but to say he was terrible and stuffed for most of the night and that others didn't watch the game is unbelievably false.Another example of not watching the game.

(And he would have had a TD if it weren't for terrible play calling.)
Averaging over 4 yards per carry, with no runs longer than 20 yards, is hardly what I would call being stuffed for most of the night.
With Ogden yes, without not so much. The Ravens also had what 6 turnovers? I'll definitely take McGahee in this horserace....It's only one week so a lot can change, but:
Marshawn Lynch: 19 carries for 90 yards, 2 receptions for 9 yards, 1 TD
Willis McGahee: 19 carries for 77 yards, 3 receptions for 34 yards, 0 TD
And McGahee supposedly has the MUCH better team and MUCH better offensive line.
Lynch averaged 4.7 yards per carry in Week 1 while McGahee averaged 4.0 yards per carry.

Seriously, do you expect to hear a starting RB say he doesn't think he's anywhere near as good as another player? That isn't how professional athletes operate. Self-confidence is a job requirement at this level. He wasn't "dissing" LT or "disrespecting" Larry Johnson. Let it go.
On the flipside, how many come out and say they are the best in the league?Seriously, do you expect to hear a starting RB say he doesn't think he's anywhere near as good as another player?

This was a close one (111 total yards vs 114)... the TD. once sniped by Musa Smith, then on the disasterous final drive.... they didn't run it 4 times in a row.
Stephen Jackson said something to the effect of 2,500 yds this year. ..which to me is indirect way of being the best RB in the league.I see he plans on 162+ yards a game here on out.Let it go ppl... me thinks even if he didn't make that statement, there are just ppl who hate, perahps from a thread argument here on the board (a la Jake Plummer 3-4 yrs ago, Vick throughout his whole career, etc...).This is beyond unconstructive.Over 4 yards a carry last night amidst a Raven (and officiating) implosion. His career avg is 3.9. Also 3 balls for 35+ yards. His career average is 1.something per game... Things are looking okay'ish. Last I checked he outperformed guys that went before him:Larry JohnsonWillie ParkerStephen JacksonRudi JohnsonLaurence MaroneyReggie Bu####'s only a week, but to dogpile on him.... lame.
I don't know...didn't you see that commerical where Reggie Bush is glad that his buddy selects him #1 overall in his fantasy draft so he can nab LT at #2?Seriously, do you expect to hear a starting RB say he doesn't think he's anywhere near as good as another player?

Mcgagee surprsingly looked slow and did not show any burst last night. I was high on McGahee and was pissed I traded him last year, but I am not a big fan after watching that last night. You can run on Bengals, and he looked VERY, VERY, average. I am not bias on this at all, actually I was high on McGahee, but last night changed my mind. Maybe something will change, but he looked brutal.Seriously, do you expect to hear a starting RB say he doesn't think he's anywhere near as good as another player?

Looked the same as last year to me.
I saw both games. Lynch looked MUCH better than McGahee.Big Score said:Banger said:With Ogden yes, without not so much. The Ravens also had what 6 turnovers? I'll definitely take McGahee in this horserace....GroveDiesel said:It's only one week so a lot can change, but:

See, this is the type of analysis worthy of the Shark Pool. Pissing in the pool because you don't like a player's personality is guppy b.s.kncks12 said:Mcgagee surprsingly looked slow and did not show any burst last night.

Im good,what can I say,shakeybarn said:
I guess it boils down to expectations. I'm not sure most rational people have the expectations that you listed and if they did they will surely be disappointed. I don't see many people saying he's elite, it's mostly people mocking him based on his past stupid statements. People like to hate McGahee and he gives them ample reasons but that doesn't effect my FF opinion one bit. Even if he's an average talent in a good/very good situation (which is the case) then he's a good fantasy back to have.I expect him to be the main ball carrier on a good team that will get good/great field position through their def/ST. Last night was an absolute travesty from the Ravens POV with 6 turnovers and he still had 100+ yards and had several red zone shots (and should have had a few more). I expect him to outperform what Jamal did last year and he finished 16th overall. Their schedule is also very good especially in the near term with the Jets, Ari, Cle, SF, St. Louis, and Buff (not a decent run defense among them).Willis McGahee is what he is... average. He is a middle-of-the-road, #2/3 fantasy RB.
What people have issues with is #1) Willis claiming he's the best RB in the league, and #2) Willis owners expecting "15 TDs GUARANTEED!" Jamal Lewis did blah-blah-blah, so Willis will triple that!
I own (and have owned) Willis in leagues with different formats. Yardage-heavy league, sure he's nice. He's my #2/3 RB. Touchdown-heavy league, I was depending on him to produce #1/2 RB numbers, which he came up woefully short with. I traded him high, simply on name recognition alone. I had owned him since drafting him as a rookie at #3 overall (dynasty), so I carefully tracked his numbers. Waiver-wire guys were outproducing him. So I traded him to a guy who got all geeked out about owning McGahee. See ya!
He will soon find out what I already knew. He's average. Trade/keep accordingly. But elite? Hardly.
