What....my link above isn't good enough for ya :stooges:
If I had a RB1, Stewart may make sense.....but as a RB1, Stewart is just a horrible choice. Timeshare, unpredictable and always dealing with an injury of sorts.....Moreno is not flashy, but I think he will be much more predictable and steady. Doesn't have the upside of Stew, but I need pts each week, not 20 in one and 4 in the next 2.
Portis is broken goods, that ship has sailed. Ankle is already busted up, just the reminder I needed that this is an old RB with a ton of miles in the RAT's offense. I actually like Caddy this year, injury concerns are there, but his career is starting to remind me a little of Fragile Freddy Taylor. Ton of potential, couldn't stay healthy early, settled in to a decent and predictable RB later. Kid is still fairly young.
If a WR goes down, I start 3 RB's. Not the end of the world with the 4 I have. Your right though, health there is a concern with my swing for the fences picks in Jackson and Rice. In hindsight, should have taken one or the other, not both and will likely swap one of the out.
You can forsee all you want, I'm winning the title baby

I would be in no hurry to get rid of Hillis. I feel he makes a very nice RB 2 play this year. Call me crazy, and i know many will, but he is the 2nd best RB on your roster at this point. If Moreno comes back and plays which i feel really good about right now, Hillis will be your steadiest performer at #2.

Wish I was around last night. You might wanna look at BMW. Seems to be getting a lotta love in Seattle through the preseason. Just have to pray that Hass holds up though
Why I made sure I got Bucky
damn you rc.....just when I have a nice sleeper WR I am going to grab for Hillis you have to go and talk him up like this.....
What type of role do you see him having in Cleveland?

I see him leading the team in touches and having all of the key touches in the redzone. I see 50 receptions and 8-10 td's. Get rid of Washington if ya got to grab somebody. His role has not formed yet.

Love ya man, but you gotta step away from the crack pipe. :smoke:
I like Hillis as much as anyone. He's an ironman that can catch, block, run and yes....even throw. (wasn't he Denver's emergency QB?)
But still, there is nothing to support your claims of grandeur. In 2 years he's had 81 carries for 397 yds, the longest of which was 19 yards. His 6 TDs last year make him a legitimate candidate for goal line carries but I can't see that equating into most touches on the team.
Until the NFL returns to smashmouth football, Hillis and guys like him will be situational players.
Just my opinion, of course.

The stats you mention above didn't happen last year. I was at Game 2 vs. the browns last year in Denver, when Hillis fumbled away the opening kickoff, and his season, as littlle BB put him in the doghouse. He ended up with 1 TD in 2009. The stats you speak of happened in the second half of the season in 2008. This is what you are gonna see in Cleveland this year. Do what you feel you need to Miller but I feel you need him.

I can assure you Im not wrong, but hey, if you think he is going to peel off RB1 numbers so be it. I wont convince you of how wrong you are no more than you can convince us of the same.
No, that team AS IS will not "be fine", nor do I think its Millers intention to just "be fine". Work needs to be done.

Do you thrive on being a jack ass? You are pretty good at it!
I never said #1.... I said he was the second best back on his squad at this point, and that was in my opinion! Carry on! I don't feel he hates his squad like you seem to.

And your opinion is wrong, getting us back to what I just said. We cant convince you, you cant convince us.
Moving on, where did I say he hates his squad? It doesnt matter to me if he likes or hates it. I dont, and I have all the right in the world to say I think its a 6-7 win team.
And no, I dont thrive on being a jackass, but I do enjoy watching you flip out.

Pretty mellow flip out. When did opinion become obsolete here? ....and when did you become the only opinion that counted? Jack ass fits!
Sarge is drinking the hatorade.....and sorry Sarge, don't think there is too much wrong with this team with the way I will run it.
QB - SET, Kolb/Favre combo will be great of I can just play it right.
WR - SET - Core 4 is great which is what I want. Need to keep the healthy, but that is every year. I can start 4 when they are all playing and for bye's go with a 3/3 line-up. If I get anything out of Jackson or Rice (if I can stash them both long enough) this group is just sick! Would have liked to have one more WR, may have a guy in mind.
RB - This is what everyone hates yet I am more than comfortable with. Having the Denver RB will do just fine in my #1 spot.....no, they won't put up #1 numbers, my 3 number 1 WR's will do that for me. Just need Knowshown to be a top 20 back, I think he will.
At RB2, Caddy steps in and as the unquestioned #1 RB on his team. Last year, still coming back from major injuries he played in all 16 games and went over 1k combined with 7 TD's. Healthier this year and limited competition for carries. I see him besting last year's numbers.
RB3-5 - Gots me some upside! Washington and Maroney both have a shot to be the #1's on their team. No one like Maroney, but from weeks 6-14 he was a solid #2 RB. Can he do it over an entire season? We shall see, but he is much better than where he was drafted. Washington is a ppr sleeper and who could catch 50 balls and even be the starting RB yet. Hillis....eh, not sure. See him as a Brian Leonard from last year, much better real world football player than fantasy back. Bucky gives me insurance for Moreneo. Bottom line is, I can match play this group and scrape enough points to keep me in the game give me strengths at every other position IMO.
TE - Witten, my #3 ppr TE. His 209 pts last year was better than 2008 when he was the #2 TE and everyone jumped all over themselves to get him the following year.....same guy folks, and some or even better numbers.
K - Corsby gives me a leg up on most kickers
D - Philly, always undervalued, always towards the top of the D ranks in the end.
Overall.....your going to have a weakness at some position and in ppr leagues, weak RB are survivable. I know, that is impossible to believe for the long time Stud RB theorists.....but you can, and you can win doing it. Considering my drafting spot, I'm pretty happy with this team.
So sorry Sarge, got to disagree, don't have a ton or worries here. And you are entitled to your opinion, but doesn't mean it's right
But I love the following on this, please make sure to comment on the BWW site as soon as I get something up. Thrash away as well, it will make good banter over there and give us a head start on the participation points Got to show them the outlaws come in packs!
