[new-guru]

Which One of these guys will have a better carreer over the Next 5 to 7 yrs.

Henry - The teams running game is top notch - he is getting old 29

SA -- his age and his offensive line are both getting older - he might not have another 3 yrs

Portis -- still young -- having injury concerns and Betts

Mcgahee -- has a good def- good line young and unproven

Jones Drew -- young unproven and still not the main back---Will he be the main ball carier?

Brown - Qb issues -line issues however young and could be great

Portis can barely put a full season together now. Even though Portis is young, he has a lot of wear and tear already. It's amazing hes already played 5 full seasons and hes only 25 years old. What makes you think he'll be going strong in 5-7 years? Here's mine:BrownMJDMcGaheePortisHenry Alexander

curious, why did you single out these 5?

 

[Angus82]

The only guy that I would think about 5 years out is MJD. Ronnie Brown would be second, and best of luck on the rest.

I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but I've seen enough analysis and plenty of cheat sheets to know that trying to get the right guy for THIS year is tough. Trying to project 5 years out in the free agency era is pretty much pure guess.

Henry

Alexander

He has about 700 less carries than Tomlinson (about 2 season's worth). He's been in the league 5 years and has 1385 carries, and Tomlinson has 6 years and 2050 carries. He's missed significant time once in 4 years. I still wonder why : 1. People overstate how injury prone he is. 2. People talk about how much wear and tear he has. If he's healthy the nest 2 years, he'll have about the same # of carries as LT has at the same age. I don't see people staying clear of LT b/c of too many carries. I agree with Switz, but I would switch Brown and McGahee.

I agree with Switz, but I would switch Brown and McGahee.

Didn't Portis just go in for some more tests just recently? He hasn't carried the ball yet in the pre-season. It's early though and he might in the last two games but still it's disconcerting.As for how many carries he has and how many carries LT has, well that just doesn't make any sense. There are a lot of RB's that had less carries than Emmit Smith or Curtis Martin when they retired. What does that prove? Just because another guy on another team has more carries doesn't mean this guy will be able to do the same thing.

As for Portis' durability, sure, he has only really been injured once, but he also has only played 16 games 1 time in his career (2005). One year I believe he got the bench for some fumbling problems and his rookie year he didn't take over right away. But still, he only has a single season of 16 starts.

Now, I'm not knocking the guy because I think he is a stud RB, but there are some durability questions here. Nothing where I shy away from the guy in a trade or anything, but there are some questions and if he doesn't play at all in the preseason those questions are going to mount.

As for the list of 5? Here's what I have:

MJD - Simply based on age and system

Portis

McGahee - If I were to revisit this right before the season and Portis hasn't taken a snap I would flip Willis and Portis

Brown

Henry

Alexander - I think that the line in Seattle is diminishing so I put Henry at a notch above Alexander.

MJD - freakish talent, and if you think that that talent isn't going to win out in the long run, you've got another think coming.

Portis- Again, super young, super talented. If I'm going to project 5 years out, talent is going to weigh heavily, because the situation will be drastically different, but the talent will remain.

McGahee- more a function of youth and touches than anything else. I don't think he's anything special, but he'll carry the ball a lot over the next 5 years.

Travis Henry- He won't still be starting 5 years from now, but I'd rather have 3 years of stud production and two years of a replacement than 5 years of so-so production.

Ronnie Brown- I'm just not convinced.

Shaun Alexander- anyone got a fork handy?

All I am saying is that people around here seem to pull this "wear and tear" thing out of their ###. IMO if you are going to worry about it, set up a benchmark for all players - start taking it into account at 1800 carries (pulling that # out of the air). i just think it's ironic that people would talk about Portis' mileage b/c of carries but he's on pace to be where LT is right now, but nobody talks (that I've seen) about LT's mileage. That's all.

ok, ill say it. LT has mileage on him. It's a fact.Portis missed most of last year and hasnt even practiced this year. UM, yeah, thats where we get the wear and tear thing!!
