How about just the simple fact hes a big guy thats taken a pounding for years and visibly is no longer the same player he once was? The injurys are just 1 sign of age catching up to him. I'm not saying hes done, after all we are talking about 1st round RB's right?
. I'm just saying hes a guy that will slowly fall out of the top 10 over the next couple years.Thats really standing behind your prediction. That is why I don't make a prediction unless I believe it will happen.It is a forum of opinions, but if you make countless predictions....they aren't worth as much. But if you only make a few and stand behind them....then they count.Kind of like I stand behind Benson being amazing this year and Kevin Jones not being good/may not even start. I discuss it in numerous threads.jgb95 said:Not really cause I couldn't care less about it or him.This is still a forum for opinions right???benson_will_lead_the_way said:
you are kidding right - visibly he is no longer the same player? Same as what - 1800 yds / 27 TDs? and you are basing that on what? his games in the same season that he returned from a broken foot? And by big do you mean 5-11' - becasue that is pretty standard size for elite NFL RBs... oh yeah but MJD is too small right? at 5-8" - so I see there is a small window of 5-9" - 5-10"...How about just the simple fact hes a big guy thats taken a pounding for years and visibly is no longer the same player he once was?

No big meaning weight not height , I would have said tall or short. Hes 230 lbs, and his style of play isnt about avoiding contact, he been a workhorse for a good amount of time, surely a homer like yourself doesn't think hes still in his prime? My brother attended Alabama during SA's years.. I know hes a stud, he was a one man army against the Canes in the bowl game, truth be told that was a long time ago and hes had a great career, things are winding down for him. Time to come to terms.Now about Benson vs McGahee.......you are kidding right - visibly he is no longer the same player?

this is what happens when you read to many FF message boards... His own coach says that he is lighter and faster than he has ever been... I guess you know more though, huh?
I'm not saying he is still in his prime - but message board accounts of his demise are greatly exagerrated. And your description of his style of play is not accurate either - he's not shifty, but he is not a straight ahead, dish out contact runner by any means - in fact I WOULD say he avoids contact. In any case we'll see about how far he will fall.As for McGahee and Benson - I'm holding onto Benson in my league and not terribly excited about it - given the choice I think I'd rather have McGahee...No big meaning weight not height , I would have said tall or short.
