I'm actually not bitching.
You keep hammering the point that you want to develop a guy.
My point is...this team is beyond that. I would prefer a guy that can immediately impact an area of this team if they are active. That would be Herron because of his ability to play special teams. Something that most rookies really struggle with (and is actually covered in today's crap-quirer if you care to read Reedy's article).
That's it. You would prefer to have a guy that can be developed. I would prefer a guy that has more immediate impact "IF" he is active.
If you need a RB down the road...draft one. It's not a waste of a pick, and you can always find guys in later rounds that will be just as good as those "projected" to be 1-2-3rd rounders. It happens every year. You keep harping on where people are PROJECTED to go, even though you know that means absoutely NOTHING in terms of how they will actually perfrom. It is well within the realm of possibility that given an equal chance on the NFL playing field, Herron could well out perform Burkhead. It's not where people PROJECT you, but what you do with OPPORTUNITY when it arrives.
Get your nose out of the analyst asses and look at the real playing field. Projections don't mean a damn thing at this point. It's about opportunity and production.
And I like what I have seen out of Burkhead MORE during this preseason than Herron. So I will go with that.
