He's got a LOT going for him there..

The only person over-valuing a player is you on Ogbonnaya..

Despite being a year younger than Woodhead, Ogbonnaya has a TOTAL of 15 games in 3 seasons (he was either on the PS our out of the league in 2010) since entering the league. Woodhead has been in 40 games in 4 seasons, missing most of 2009 with an injury.

I guarantee you that Woodhead has more trade value than Ogbonnaya.

If Woodhead went down for the season tomorrow, none of us would be worried abot the offense. That's how I would sum up my feelings on him.




Like I said, Ogbonnaya is a scrub...but he is a scrub with the same amount of 'production' that people were lauding Woodhead for.
