This is a silly silly question after two preseason games.
If you want to use such tiny sample sizes you need to factor a lot of things into it: Were any carries short yardage carries, who was playing with first string o-line and who was playing with the second o-line, was there a blown assignment where the ball carrier got blown up in the backfield....
Yeah I tend to talk about the rookies leaving Barkley out of it. Because the consensus seems to be who is going to be most relevant in 2018 besides him. I guess I should clarify that at times.
Uh, other than my snarky first response there (from me), none of the rest were in the "un-excellent" category. If you think they are, then that's much more a reflection upon you and not the comments themselves. In the immortal words of Sgt. Hulka, "Lighten up, Francis."Stuart Ullman said:

Nobody is using Booker's poor performance in the preseason as evidence that Freeman will be the starter. Everyone is citing Booker's career stats as a player and as a starter (which are even worse than when he doesn't start). What people are citing about the preseason is it didn't take long for the rook to be splitting time. Book got the first carry in game 2 then he watched while Freeman did his thing. Usually camp battles like this take a little longer and the rookie has to spend a lot more time facing the 2nd string, but the coaches have Freeman out there facing the first string and blocking for the starting QB in games that don't matter. Anyone who looks at that and thinks it's a good sign for Booker is delusional.
Not to put words into your mouth, but are you picturing a NE/PHI type split of RB duties?
Praise from the QB for Freeman's pass blocking? Hmmmmmm. Nah, no way he can be the starter. Book's book. Always remember that. Book's book!
I think it is possible but more likely that Freeman takes a lead role with a lesser role being carved out by another rb.
Personally, I'm on board with him ending the year as the #1 RB in Denver and was ok with his current ADP, but as drafting season has gone along, I find myself liking his "value" less and less.
No, it's pretty outrageous. As bad as Booker has looked throughout his career, people have to count on Royce to be better, a lot better. If he's not head and shoulders better, this will be rbbc based on what the Broncos have said. So far, what has he shown that convinces anybody? He had a pretty good TD run avoiding a defender in the back field, give him credit for that. Otherwise he looks like a slow version of Jerome Bettis.
I'm a big fan of the guy, but I'm not picking him in the 3rd. Too much other value there with more pedigree of playing in the actual NFL.

To be fair that’s as much a credit to DEN Oline as Freeman. That gap at the line was significant (though nice vision/hesitation), and the secondary was caught with their pants down.
not to take anything away from Freeman, but definitely nice work by the o-line and some piss poor ankle tackling
I'm assuming these were all with Keenum under center. If not they're kind of worthless.
Well, in a dyno I do still think Chubb is a better long term bet. I think Chubb is a supreme talent. You’ll just have to wait a year to can in. So I guess it depends on where your team is. Rebuild? Take Chubb at 1.2. Win now? Maybe go freeman. I think I’d be happy with either at 1.3
An exceptional prospect:Well I drafted him. So here's my
What are we dealing with here?
Please don't do that. Gloating and "I told you sos" achieve nothing and ruin threads. If you must, take it to PM.
Scroll back up. You will see Stuart saying how he can't wait to bump this thread later on.
I'm aware of the entire exchange between you two. We all are.
