This is one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever seen. Sanders averaged 100 yards rushing per game in his career on 5.0 yards per carry. That's moving the chains. In his 2nd to last year, the "pansy" averaged 6.1 yards per carry and had over 2,000 rush yards. If you think someone scared of contact does that, you are out of your mind.Your memory's faulty: They had plenty of Passing Offense in Sanders' day.
Don't you remember the Run & Shoot??
Obviously, I was talking about who I want carrying the ball when we're trying to win a Big Game.
I wasn't talking Trades, now, was I?
If you want to change the subject to Market Value, then just as obviously, I'd trade Ridley ~ it's well documented 1000X over that I prefer Flex Backs ~ for Sanders, straight up, as you just postulated.
But this nonsense about Sanders' horrible Line is pure Urban Legend.
The problem with Sanders wasn't his O Line...
The problem...was Sanders.
He always wanted to hit the Home Run.
He had no respect for Moving The Chains...or Winning.
Have you forgotten??
The last couple of years, the Coach would yoink him in Short Yardage situations ~ "The Greatest Running Back of All Time" ~ because the pansy shirked contact!!
Obviously, the Coach didn't think that the O Line was the problem.
I'll go with his opinion, thank you.
Also really laughable someone sitting at home on the computer posting on a message board is calling an all-time great RB who would carry the ball over 300 times a year a pansy.
The one thing you had right was the stuff about his OL being overblown. Don't know why people use that as if to justify a lack of production, because Sanders production with that offensive line was absolutely off the charts.
