Not saying it won't play out like you say, but this reminds me a lot of the DeAngelo Williams/ Jonathan Stewart line of thinking when they were both had expiring contracts coming up. Stewie owners were drooling over when Williams left. Then he signed a big contract to stay in Carolina. Then owners of both players were drooling over when Stewart left.

But my expectations from Coleman isn't for this year (I was just pointing out that he was able to produce even in a timeshare), but once he goes to a new team. If Freeman is signed to an extension like you say and Coleman walks, he can easily be the #1 on another team and be a solid RB1/2. I just think based on pure talent, Coleman is ahead of Abdullah.joeya2001 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 10:12 am I not here to say you are wrong, just for a nice at work friendly debate.
Yes, Coleman did produce very well last year, but I want to say that had a lot to do with being on a historic 2016 falcons scoring the 7th most points in history.
That would tell me you believe, even with a new OC, that the falcon will produce the same kind of offense?
I don't see that happening again.. in one game last year both Freeman and Coleman scored 3 tds each!!! that's unheard of.
I don't see much of a committee since the lions decided not to draft a RB, and beef up the O-line.
I don't envision that Detroit would see Theo as the future, more so Abdullah since hes only 23 and showing the same burst he did when he was a rookie.
This is the second going the Lions are trying with a back like this, Think Javid best a few years ago.
Since The falcons are gona give Freeman a extension, think they are gona give one to Coleman in the future?
I think not.
This is why I see Abdullah having the better long term value.
It has no bearing on what will happen in Atlanta, but I just noticed the parallels.
