Turn-around fair play? Should GB sign a former Texan?

Herron has grown on me as a 3rd RB. He doesn't make mistakes. He catches the ball. He blocks. Not a bad 3rd guy to have.

Isn't that what Tony Fischer was

Nothing really; he was a steady RB with below average talent who was pretty assignment sure. We let him go find another team; IMO Noah Herron is the same guy

I'd say there is one big difference between Tony Fisher and Noah Herron. Noah is more valuable.

Why?

Look at the talent level that surrounded both of them. Fisher was less of a loss then Herron would be. Green and Davenport would have been JUST FINE without Fisher. Losing ole' Cement Shoes Herron scares the crap outta me because of what we're left with...

Damn. I was hoping we'd at least have a chance at him.

Dang. Quite the plummet from possible 1st or 2nd round pick for Pittman. I bet he doesnt make it to a practice squad anywhere.

Why would you say he doesn't make it to a practice squad ? Just curious; he's young and I'd think several teams would want to snap him up unless he has a poor attitude

I think there were people here who wanted Pittman. But whatever, none of us know enough on these matters. It's fun to talk about and see who's right and wrong but my guessing at players is not one of the things that I take pride in at this point. We/I just don't have the info needed to be good at it.

There were some OSU fans who thought ok of him. Most of the debate here was with Lynch I think. I loved AP and wanted Lynch. After that it was my view that the next group seemed about the same. Some would make it, some would not, nothing to get too excited about.

But what do I know; I wanted TT to trade down or pick Robert Meachem

Cause someone will take a flyer on him for a roster spot. I guess that was misleading.
