IMHO Alexander is moreso a by-product of the Seattle offense and O-line. Seattle's O-line is in the same breath as Denver and KC and look what they can do. Just look at this year in KC to see that they could plug ANY RB in there and he will be productive. Same idea in Seattle.Everyone thought Portis was a god-send in Denver. Why, oh Why would they let him go if he is the one of the best RBs in the game at the time like all of you are shouting right now about Alexander? What happened with Droughns this year? You think Droughns is that good or are his numbers are moreso a by-product of the O-line? Same idea in Seattle. Behind a line like this in Seattle, there are many RBs who could amass the numbers Alexander did and hence that makes him replacebale and not worth all the money he may be asking for.
I strongly disagree.Portis, Terrell Davis, Mike Anderson, Reuben D, Priest Holmes, Derrick Blalock, etc... all backs who were under the radar, who never did anything special in their careers, who exploded on to the scene being in the right system.SA has been a star ever since he put on cleats. He holds scoring records in every level he has played in, included the SEC. Alexander is a star, and always has been. Nothing to do with the system.
