Toby Gerhart a starter?

[SteelersPride]

really?

 

[JohnRandle]

Why would you think otherwise?
He's always produced when filling in for Peterson.
And he's fresh for his age.

 

[SteelersPride]

i guess, just seems like there were better options

You're probably right, but he has always done a great job in MN. I think he'll do well as a starter. Or at least I'm hoping he does.

 

[SonnyCID]

Bradley will have an open competition for the spot.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

I think he can be, yes.

 

[Davis_Mike]

This is primarily a RB by committee league now. By that standard, I think he is a starter.

For the same price or less?

really?

He's an "old school" back, I think its a great idea. He loves lowering his head and taken on a tackler, has speed with some moves, and he can block....

It's a no brainer...

He probably won't wow anybody but he will add consistency to the position at the very least.

 

[Wazmankg]

Every down back ? Good luck with that.

 

[SteelersPride]

he can catch cant he

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

He has the size, straight-ahead speed and pass-catching skills to handle the larger portion of a tandem attack... But to call him an every-down back is a bit of a stretch.

"The White Rhino" will bang out plenty of tough yards and should help with the passing game. Toby averaged 4.7 ypc when he was given double-digit carries in Minnesota and he's got a modest 77 catches, 600 yards receiving, and 3 td catches; not bad for AD's backup.

I like him in a consistent feature role and even better, he's no longer playing in those God-awful Viking offenses.

I see him as a Peyton Hillis 2.0

But I don't think JAX is the right place for him. Tough to say since the entire team is a mess over there.

Jacksonville did start to figure it out late last season and they won some games. They still lack an identity and consistency but they've got plenty of playmakers on both sides of the ball. They'll be an interesting team to pay attention to b/c who knows where they go in this draft. THere's a number of possibilities.

I always thought they had a better chance at winning with Henne behind the wheel. I think they will go QB, without a doubt. After finally giving up on the Gabbert experiment, they have a void there. Unless they are considering a trade scenario possibility.

Jax needs a couple more drafts and they will be just fine, there overhauling that roster very good there, and Bradley as a head coach is a perfect fit. Ownership needs to let these guys do there job, build it right and use that draft like they own it.....

Glad to hear... I was worried
