Dickerson is the one Grant reminds me of the most.
I clean forgot Payton--and Emmit Smith too. I guess that means that longevity and pure ability are very different.
Tyrone, I overlooked your "cutting" post earlier, but I assume you refer to the guy I mentioned--the Juice. If not, who? Scary to think we agree on something. At least we apparently don't about Grant.
He reminds me of dickerson...well, not in the least. Curt Warren I think was the name of the guy from seattle who was a rookie same year as Dickerson and he was VERY much like Grant...a one cut runner. He saw the hold, cut to it and ran with full intensity. Great vision, really good speed and not too easy to take down. Heres to hoping Grant doesn't follow his career path of a blown knee in his second season.
Curt Warner had a decent career. 4 Thousand yard seasons and one 985 yard season. He was quite a bit smaller though - 5-11 and 205.
Chester Taylor is just a guy. Money Morency (albeit he has immense potential) is just a guy, same with Jackson as this point. Peterson is much better than Grant. The dropoff is greater from Peterson to Taylor than it is from Grant to Morency, because Peterson is that much better than Grant.
Peterson is a superstar, no doubt, but I think you are underrating Taylor a bit. He's a very solid RB. Morency is a guy who might not even make the team. I'd say dropoff from Grant to Mo is greater than AP to Taylor, especially when you factor in the Vikings' OL.
Taylor has shown more than Morency but Morency has all the traits required to be successful in the NFL. Now that he's healthy he looks a lot better than BJack in every facet of the game so far.
You know nothing about football, success or the NFL.
Sorry, just the facts.
Try me again.
Ya know. I went and googled you and found out that you speak horrendous english and produce amateurish beats. Hell, I've done better with mario paint and that music editor.
With that said, you're too hood for me, and like Ty you're always right, so I'm not going to bother justifying the rest.
i make music.
i train producers.
i make records.
i literally do this.
with names you know, on tracks you know.
in the city you know.
get at me.
You're so modest to, btw. Nice pic as well. Look real hood to me.
that's from soundclick... havent used it in quite some time.
The only way you don't understand the fantasy love for him, is because you didn't have him single handidly beat your team, or take you from a bottom dweller to final playoff team... to a champion... like he did for so many.
The 10 regular season games he started, he had the most fantasy points of any running back in the league. Naturally, not on anyone's roster, anyone who seemed buried who needed a diamond in the rough got one, and rode him to the title.
Thats the reason for fantasy love.
Likewise, the reason for the love is, until he played last year, it looked like NO ONE could run behind that putrid line. He ran hard, and earned a 5.1 yard per carry average. Yes it was only 10 games... but it was only 16 for Adrian Peterson.
So, should the vikings not be excitied about him then? I mean, thats only 6 more games then our guy.
