Stewart seeing ankle specialist today

[Frank Hollywood]

Well I'm taking barner late in fantasy now...

A team like The Raiders would be stupid enough in my opinion. Once they're done with McFadden (you wanna talk about Mr. Glass), they're gonna be looking for a feature back. Of course, I don't think an organization like The Rams or Dolphins would that desperate in 2015 but you never know.

And you think they would be looking to pay a half decade old RB who has played through nagghing injuries, who has been sidelined with injuries impacting his ability to get on the field in recent years? To a 45 million dollar deal?

He would be more likely to get a Steven Jackson type deal....

Plenty of mock drafts had Stewart in the Top 10.

 

 

ohhh mock drafts

 

 

 

tell me more

 

 

 

 

PS: that sure was a stupid move by Houston to pass a top 10 pick on Stewart and instead pick up Arian Foster as an UDFA

If I were trying to prove the point you are I wouldn't present as evidence a mock draft that also has Brian Brohm the first QB to go off the board at number 5

In my defense, they are The Raiders. This is the team that reached for Heyward-Bey and M. Mitchell just because they ran impressive 40s at the combine.

 

Even if the Raiders would pony up that kind of money to sign Stewart (which they wouldn't and LOL for even thinking that they would), the Raiders hardly constitute "teams lining up to sign him for 40-50 million"

[Floppin]

stew is one of the better blocking running backs in the NFL, which is part of what makes him so valuable. he's also a very good receiving threat, and in cam's rookie campaign we saw a ton of dump-offs to stew for gainers. i think this is part of why he got the nod to start last season.

 

the sad fact is he and deangelo are all but done here. tolbert/barner are likely the future of the team and gettleman will be looking to dump them both as soon as possible. tolbert's penchant for catching passes and the fact that he runs a lot like stew basically makes stew completely expendable at this point.

 Actually no, Stewart has graded out as one of the worst RB's in pass protection over the last few years by PFF. Here's 2011 for example

Don't let his highlight of flipping that defender of his shoulder blind you, both Stewart and Williams are decidedly pedestrian in pass protection with Williams actually grading out better despite only having 6 less pass protection snaps.

Stewie is injured too much. It's time to think of our options.

 

 

 

 

[Floppin]

Riiiiight, because we've seen sooooo many rational deals for free agents in the past.

/sarcasm

 

The largest free agent running back contract this past off season was for 4 years and 16 million.

 

The year before that, Ray Rice, who's never been injured and is a featured back, was signed to only 40 million over 5 years. Matt Forte, similarly never injured and a featured back, only got 30 million over 4 years with just 17 guaranteed. 

 

You expect me to believe that Stewart, who hasn't fuging played in almost a year, who's has a nagging injury of some sort or another his entire career, who had his best statistical season four goddamn years ago, and hasn't topped 800 yds since, is somehow going to demand more money than Matt Forte and the same type numbers as Ray Rice?

 

Get back to me when you live in reality.

Stewart has at least graded out overall positive the last 2 years....

Williams an overall negative grade the past 2

Edit: I misread what you typed. Either way, their production is similarly bad across the board.

touche. he's still been effective at catching passes out of the backfield.

 

definitely replaceable though

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

This is troublesome b/c everyone has been so hush hush about it.

This is also why you don't invest 100 million dollars in Running Backs.

Exactly!

This is why Seattle refused to give Sean Alexander a long term deal. They wanted him to be hungry and in top shape for his next one year deal.. Also he was nearing 27-28 so a long term deal would give negative returns.

Seattle caved in after the MVP season and extended him.. Then was shopping him for a third round pick the next season..

He was out of the league two seasons later.

He did one of my surgeries after a car accident I had. He's very good!
