Tatum Bell begins his takeover (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Macdaddy_2004
- Start date
Implying that Bell is about to take over is far fetched but I've said it before and I'll say it again, some of the Griffin supporters seem infatuated with the guy to the point of being obsessive. Someone posted above that hopefully people are taking him as their 3rd RB or later and I agree that he should not be going any earlier than that. But I have a not so sneaking suspicion that a lot are taking him sooner and they could be in for a real disappointment. This situation screams of uncertainty where any of the following has a very good chance of happening: Griffin replaced at some point, RBBC, team underperforms as a whole and Griffin posts atypically low #'s for a Denver back. I've asked on more than one occasion for some projections from the Griffin fanatics, Breddick in particular. Maybe I missed the post but I have not yet seen these numbers. Something quantitative like that would tell me if I am correct that Griffin is being overvalued or if I'm incorrect and it's just hope and excitement for this particular player.

There will be some seriously pissed off Coloradoans, if Van Pelt lands somewhere else.I would love to see what Parcells would do with the guy.

FYI - I saw this morning on ramnation there was a link (I think to broncos.com) that had a video clip of the entire BVP drive. Run Houston Run!!!

Thanks for that...I'm on my way...I will retract this statement if I am mistaken and you have responded somewhere with some projections. But I believe this is the THIRD time I have called you out over the past 4 weeks or so to give some sort of projections for Griffin and it appears that you are purposely ignoring the issue. I found one of those threads below:http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...4692&hl=griffinAnyway, I see you are still viewing the thread, so how about some numbers? Otherwise, I can only assume that you refuse out of fear that you will be wrong and made to look foolish later.Yes and Griffin is #1

Thanks, did not know he had projections there. I take back the implication that he was completely avoiding the issue. Still, would have appreciated some response when I posed the question several times, even if it was just a comment like yours to look at that thread.
I don't think 1000 yards and 5-7 TDs rushing and 2-3 recieving is out of the question either. I figured his projections would be a whole lot more bullish, considering the passion I see in the numerous posts about him. I think those numbers are about right, IF he stays healthy and IF he continues to get the majority of the carries all season. But I'd still take him after most of the other RBs projected for similar numbers and even a few that I think have more upside because I think he has a lot of risk of being replaced, RBBC, ineffectiveness as I posted earlier. Somewhere around RB #25-28.

I really don't understand the amount of hype around Tatum Bell. The knock on him in the draft was the guy has great size and amazing speed for a back (4.2-4.3/40), but wasn't particularly elusive. He was also benched in college due to fumbling problems and that continued to be an issue throughout much of his college career at OSU. I don't have access to combine/scouting reports, but here is an article that speaks to it:
Broncos Gazette
Couple that with the fact that the guy has fumbled THREE times in the preseason even though he has only played in two games against mostly 2nd and third stringers, and that leads me to believe that Q is the starter barring an injury. NFL coaches won't start a player that turns the ball over -- PERIOD.
