Re: 2018 Running Back Report
I think Bot should of been an NFL GM this year since he knows so much about how amazing Guice is.

Re: 2018 Running Back Report
Haven't been following the discussion, but I thought Guice looked really good in the one preseason appearance. I have zero concerns that he will translate fully to the NFL.

The talent evaluation was fine, but you specifically spoke about not being able to handle a workload, which was a little ironic.Bot101 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 5:06 pmMy greater than was referring to talent. Any RB will look better than they actually are on limited touches. I like Johnson as a player. But this notion that he’s better or worth more than Guice after 4 weeks of limited touches is utterly ridiculous in a dynasty setting. I’m not writing anyone off, but people need to just knock it off. It’s so annoying how immediately players value sky rockets or plummets based off minimal sample size. Months of research are thrown out the window for the shiny toy you can see now. Kerryon at 1.02 is stupid. Ridley has now demonstrated he was the WR in this class to get! More like get lost. Have some patience and let’s see what happens over a season and maybe even 2 and let’s revisite the conversation. I’ll be happy to say I was wrong if time proves it.
I have my opinions on Guice and his knee that was the same one that was injured last year. You’re welcome to look through my post history if you care to find it.
I get that most people had Guice at #2 behind Barkley, but I had him at #3 with KJ over him. Consensus had Penny at #3 and KJ around #7 for RBs, we don't all see it the same. I liked KJ more because of his younger breakout age coupled with his line adjusted performance. LSU had a much better O-line than did Auburn the year KJ started. Like you said, we'll have plenty of time to see how it plays out, but you should remember we all didn't fall within consensus on draft day, so there's no need to act like everyone is overreacting to a few decent runs.
I just bolded that "limited touches" comment to point out if that is true, Penny owners must be dying inside
Can he actually look worse than he has?

We'll also have to define what a turn sandwich is. Is that a sandwich I eat while turning or how does that work. Does it matter if I’m going left or right?

Penny has looked good the last 2 games he's been in, since he cut some weight. I have no worries long term about him.0LDMAN wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 9:49 amThe talent evaluation was fine, but you specifically spoke about not being able to handle a workload, which was a little ironic.Bot101 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 5:06 pmMy greater than was referring to talent.

Re: 2018 Running Back Report
Penny will be a good RB. I've already picked a side, based on how I drafted, and what I have said. I don't expect you to know my history. Penny will be a viable FF option in years to come.0LDMAN wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 1:47 pmYou've got to pick a side brothaFantasyFreak wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 1:28 pm

We'll also have to define what a turn sandwich is. Is that a sandwich I eat while turning or how does that work. Does it matter if I’m going left or right?

And if I recall correctly I did set a goal for Turd Sandwich in which I will stop calling him that if he hits it.

You got a deal. I will eat a turn sandwich if he hits.
I don't always agree with your takes but I really appreciate the effort and I found this incredibly valuable. Definitely had me rethinking some of my stances.
