Supply And Demand

[stirs]

We seem to be stockpiling RB's like they are gold bullion or something. Who is in desperate need of a back?

Cleveland Hillis gone

Cincy Benson gone

Denver McGahee is troubled

Pitts Mendenhall is finished

T Bay No matter how desperate, we will not trade with them

Add Pats to the list of teams that also need a "good" back

Those are just 5 and Richardson will land at one of those spots.

[PhillyB]

Any one of those are candidates for an RB high in the draft, but I'm not sure that affects our signing decisions at running back unless we try to deal Goodson to one of them.

[stirs]

I think Denver is key.

They do not have time for rebuilding. They have a 3-4 year window, so I think their second rounder would be used in a trade for a proven back. Again, they have to hit homeruns with each pick. PFT is already talking about them getting Wallace with their first pick. Every guy they get has to be able to do the job, they have a predetermined window.

[CRA]

What we need is Doc and his DeLorian. We travel back to 1985 and trade RBs to teams for 2012 picks for a team yet to be created.

[rayzor]

i don't think any trade is going to be made any time soon nor should it be.

if we want to trade one of them away, it should be in mid season next year when a team is really desperate and more willing to be raped...you know, when demand is at it's peak. right now, though, more effort should be put into how to turn the backfield we have right now into a nightmare for DCs.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

I don't think we're trading anybody. Tolbert just gives us versatility and insurance in case of injuries to Williams and Stewart and also gives us a backup plan if Stewart leaves in free agency next year at a really affordable price.

[stirs]

No money for Wharton, no money for Schwartz. Otah = ??

Guess we will have a lot of faith in the OLine for this shiny new stable of backs.

I don't think we wanted to sign Schwartz back and Wharton wasn't worth what we were paying him. I would feel better if we added a couple more guys though. Maybe trade down and get Decastro if things break a certain way.

i think we wanted both guys back, but at a much cheaper rate.

we'll find the right guys. i hope that we can use the same strategy that we used a few years ago bringing in a bunch of low risk guys and let them fight it out in TC.

of course we should take advantage of the depth and talent at OG in the draft, but hopefully we can get a 3rd round pick or use the 4th rounder on a guy that slipped through the cracks. it's going to happen.

we loves rb. we loves runnin'!

agreed. there will be a deal worked out between DW and JS so both stay here. A deal that works out for all and will probably blow everybody's minds. Rivera is making the offense even stronger for reason and it's not to win by only 10 points.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

do you guys ever get tired of mindlessly repeating whatever our FO tells you we should be doing

[Jangler]

I hope for the best...nothing wrong with that. If JS leaves or whoever leaves, doesn't really bother me much. I like the players on my team but not enough to get mad if they leave.

except for Peppers...f*ck that guy!

No, I personally love it
