Rookie Running Back

8 games played,

7 games with significant carries

averaged 4.1 YPC and 7.77 YPR

scored 7 total touchdowns

proved to be able to handle games of 25+ carries

Had high rushing games of 171, 111 and 103 yards rushing

total

I did lose 4 fumbles

This was done by a rookie running back

I'm playing behind an older running back with a history of injuries and fumbles. This same running back did very little last year playing behind the same line I had good success with and unlike that other running back.. I don't think i'm a superhero

1) who am I?

2) why do I get no respect on this board

why do I get no respect on this board

As to this question, I think he might not get as much respect as you feel he deserves because most feel he'll play a secondary role behind A. Green at best.There were tons of talk about him during the season last year. Now that Ahman has returned he's going to be the feature guy. Whether he deserves this or not is up for debate. Whether he will be the feature guy isn't, IMO.

Gado?

my bigger question is with those numbers he put up last year with virtually no experience.. why do so many people refuse to believe he can duplicate it this year

1. Ahman Green should be healthy2. Najeh Davenport should be healthy (for an undefined period of time)

You might've missed this news CA_7.

Green still is several months away from returning from his torn quadriceps tendon. It’s unlikely he’ll participate in any of the offseason practices, and it’s not even a given he’ll be ready for the start of training camp in late July.

Thanks but didn't miss it. I said "should" be healthy and based on the report sounds like he should be ready for the seasonBy all calculations, GB will have two other RBs (other than Gado) healthy for kickoff that were listed ahead of him on the depth chart last year. Which means there will be a serious issue regardingwho gets a majority of the looks in Gb.

I'm with you Righetti, Gado doesn't get enough respect. He should be the starter (especially when you consider what he did with that swiss-cheesehead O-line last year). If he isn't then it is the Packers' funeral.
