(A) trade Hoyer for a 2nd round draft pick, could start on 10 NFL teams (circa week 17 in garbage time)
(B) chung = pro bowl safety (circa 2011)
(C) Ty Warren is most underrated DL in the game (circa 2008)
The Hoyer and Chung threads were ridiculous the moment that they were created. The Warren thread only became ridiculous later, in hindsight. This thread might end up being like the Warren one, but it's not nearly as bad as the other two.
i mean of course, you get my point, but Ridley had a great game and looks legit. But its 4 wks. And the backup RB this week actually had a better game statistically then he did. So what does that say about the Bills?
People are discounting what Frank Gore has done over the last 5 years. CJ is two years removed from 2k yards and ripps off 125 yds yesterday and people here think he is washed up cause of 3 bad games to start the season?
Just tranpose yourself and put yourself in Atlanta right now. There are ridiculous fans think Matt is a top 3 guy with Brees, Brady and Rodgers. How ridiculous is that?......about as ridiculous as this thread on Ridley.
Id take Ridley over any of those players.
Adrian Peterson is coming off a terrible injury. Ray Rice has a lot of mileage on him already.
Ridley is fresh.
Ryan Williams - unproven
Michael Turner - old, beat-up, becoming slower
Ray Rice
Fred Jackson - old, injury prone
Jonathan Stewart -injury prone
Matt Forte - injury prone
Law Firm - at this point im willing to say ridley is an upgrade
Trent Richardson - unproven, just cuz drafted high doesn't mean better
DeMarco Murray - unproven
Willis McGahee - old, on the decline
Mikel Leshoure - unproven
Cedric Benson - old
Arian Foster
Donald Brown - not even a contest
MJD
Jamaal Charles
Reggie Bush - need to see more inside the tackles
AP
Darren Sproles - NOT an insdie the tackles runner
Ahmad Bradshaw - meh
Shonn Greene - yea OK
Darren McFadden - injury prone, hasn't really done much yet
LeSean Mccoy
Rashard Mendenhall - funny
Ryan Matthews funny x2
Marshawn Lynch - possibly
Frank Gore - old
Steven Jackson - hes got very little left
Doug Martin - who?
Chris Johnson - not this years (or last, or last lasts)
Alfred Morris - young, unproven
taking into account many factors such as Age, Contract, Current production and injuries I would take. MJD, Jonathan stewart (I would have williams as their RB1 and would have him on this list), Maybe bradshaw and would consider Richardson or Martin if it was a straight trade but would have used draft chips on either.
If none of those are factors I have him somewhere around 15-20.
:wha:
That made me lol.
Ray Rice
Fred Jackson
Matt Forte
Trent Richardson
Arian Foster
Maurice Jones-Drew
Jamaal Charles
Reggie Bush
Adrian Peterson
Darren McFadden
LeSean McCoy
Ryan Matthews
Marshawn Lynch
Chris Johnson
The bolded players are the backs I would start with 99% confidence ahead of Ridley. The others, I would have to consider more closely.
There's no way I don't start Peterson or Rice as 1A to 1AA ahead of everyone in the NFL.
Am I missing something here.
Lot of people showing no love for Foster. I think he's incredible given he didn't get drafted.
