Default DeShaun Foster, anyone? (Faulk successor?)

I used to really like foster
and, I think we all remember his diving td in sb 38, he definitely has a lot of athleticism
but, he just never put it all together, seemed to be way too inconsistent
he has been released, and if he could be had cheap i wouldn't mind taking a look at him
we don't desparately need him as we'll have sammy morris coming back, but if he could be had really cheap i wouldnt mind taking him (or mewelde moore) as the successor to kfaulk (who's not getting any younger, and has shown how important his role really is)

I'd prefer Mewelde Moore to Foster. As you said, he looks good at times, but simply hasn't been able to put it together.

I mentioned in another thread it would only make sense for them to add Moore and go with 5 RBs (LM, Morris, Faulk, Evans or his replacement, and Moore) if they carry one fewer WRs.

I think Moore is versatile enough in the passing game to work as a hybrid threat.

Foster's more of a poor man's Maroney than he is a potential Faulk replacement.

i too agree that i'd rather have moore
whenever moore has had to start or play extensively, he's done nasty (similar to sammy morris)
but i wouldnt mind foster either

He's similar to Maroney in size but Foster has good hands and is dangerous after the catch like Faulk and he is also a strong pass blocker like Faulk. Maroney has good hands as well but is a little suspect as a pass blocker. Foster is fast and powerful and has the speed to turn the corner. He attacks the LOS and runs with good leg drive and balance plus he is tough and seems difficult to bring down with one guy. He does have durability issues though and maybe would be better suited to a role as a 3rd down back.

He'll be looking for @3 million a year ... I don't see it. I think both Maroney and Faulk are better at what they do than Shaun who's a tweener.

Being in Carolina I have seen a lot of Foster. I'd pass on him; we can do better. He has not shown much at all the last few years.

If he was the superstar you seem to be making him out to be he wouldn't be on the unemployment line.
