Pead or Hillman?

[49ersFaithful80]

Look at the age of the players as well Pead 12-14-89/SJax 7-22-83 vs Hillman 10-14-91/mcGahee 10-21-81 as you can see age favors Hillman both ways he is two years younger then Pead and his main comp is two years older then Peads.

*** On a side note the rookie RB that the Rams took in the 7th round had a great pro day
pead 5'10 197 4.47 6.95(3 cone) 33(vertical) 9'8(broad) 4.32(shuttle)
richardson 5'10 192 4.46 7.07(3 cone)40.5(vertical)11'3(broad)4.36(shuttle)

Is there any sleeper value here? I don't know much about him if anyone does whats your thoughts on him? Thanks

Very relevant point, believe me when I say age is extremely important for RB's because their shelf-life is so much shorter than other positions (which is why I consider stud WR's WAY more valuable that stud RB's) but I simply feel Pead is the better talent. Plus SJAX is still going to fall off a cliff, he's 29 with many years of heavy workloads.

Something else I like about Pead's situation is the fact that he will be playing with Sam Bradford. While I think Bradford is by far the most overrated QB in the NFL he does check down on a huge portion of his pass attempts as illistrated by his putrid career YPA. This is great news for Pead in PPR leagues

Two things you don't address.

A) "[A]ge is extremely important for RBs."
B) McGahee is 2 years older than Jackson.
C) You mention Jackson is going to fall off a cliff, but nothing about McGahee.

1) Same Bradford has a poor YPA, and this helps Pead. You say his poor YPA is because he checks down a lot, but you offer
2) Bradford's numbers to running backs, per 16 games = 58 catches for 436 yards and 1.2 TDs. That's to every RB in the backfield.
3) Manning's numbers to running backs over the last 3 years, per 16 games = 67 catches for 548 yards and 2.7 TDs. And none of those RBs are as talented a receiver as Jackson.
4) No mention of Manning helping Hillman's value, even though his RBs have had greater value in the receiving game.


Are you intentionally misrepresenting the facts because you like Pead more? If you like Pead more, and it's a gut feeling, just say it's a gut feeling. Don't make things up to support your argument.
