Absolute Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 So people would much rather have a guy who has yet to play a down in the NFL over a proven BIG back (with speed)...I like the 1-2 punch of Turner/Norwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busboyisback Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I feel the same way.Michael Turner is a career backup behind a stellar Oline. That's pretty darn unproven.And you take a guy when this is the strongest RB class ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom Baldwin Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 As long as idiots keep spending the money on the tickets then this pathetic trend will continue.

I guess Norwood is proven too. Looking at Turner's game this year, he only had one good game. He only had over 4 YPC in 3 games. He played in 19.

Robert L Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 OK...I know we are all GMs, and Coaches, great talent evaluators, etc...Free Agency...as in the draft is a crap shoot. All teams have made mistakes...all teams have found gems. None of us will know how the Turner signing will pan out. If he has now one to block for him, he will stink. Any back would. Everyone seems to think McFadden is a great back-the next big thing...BUT there have been other "can't miss" backs to come out of college too:1990Jets 2 Blair Thomas, Penn State1995Bengals 1 Ki-Jana Carter, Penn State1998Bears 5 Curtis Enis, Penn StateI mean-these were some can't miss runners....supposedly. You see the same thing come Free Agency as well....players that shined elsewhere flop on a new team(Remember Pearless Price?), or flops from one team become stars elsewhere(Garrison Hearst anyone?) So, we can all have our opinions, but none of us will really know til a year or more down the line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxatlanta Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 statzondeck (3/2/2008)First Price. Then Hartwell. Now Turner. Hopefully this one don't turn out like the others.Turner has the measurables and the NFL game film. But you are absolutely right, especially if our Oline is not in order. At least missing on him wouldn't cost us a draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
