dear god... shut up.... it takes balls to stand up and fight, for anything. but you just like to argue to incredible lengths about one thing i said, when i have even tried to drop it, and talk about football... grow up, im being the bigger man, and saying just shut up and talk about football, and be prepared for the consequences for when someone disagrees and out debates you... im not gonna keep coming back to this same point which you nag on one thing... i proved you had no merrit in what you were saying, and now you want to make this a little fight over who is tougher and stuff, are you serious? i dont need to impress people, people can like me or hate me, i dont care, but i when you go and started talking down to other people, that stuff aint alright with me, so i said something about that too... just shut up
 
i really dont care what they think, if they read what im saying, i said a couple things that i shouldnt have, but hell the point i am making is that this is a football board, and this guy totally went off track and started raggin on people, and that isnt alright. so i dont really care what the mods or anyone else thinks, i dont need to
 
It doesn't take balls to challenge someone to a fight on the computer, especially when one person lives in Cali and the other in Texas. Sounds more like a coward move to me.
 
Are You Missing Everything I Am Saying, Read The Entire Article Jack, I Dont Care About Fighting, I Dont Need To, Talk Football... I Said Something, And The Only Reason I Would Fight You, Is I Dont Like You... I Dont Like The Person You Are, The Person You Represent... You Represent A Coward, And A Selfish Person. Someone That Needs To Be Right And Needs To Have The Last Word, Its What Drives You... And Its Pothetic

Agreed, but there may be things we could throw in like a mid rnd pick or even DD himself...
just firing off wild scenarios...
 
man, you are a pothetic human being and i hate saying that about people, i can write a hundred times i dont care about fighting you, but you keep clinging to it, you are trying to make light of a situation in which you cant run from, so you bring up one statement, when i have made a lot more since then that you should have a bigger problem with.... i have said it plenty of times man... just grow up, thats all
 
i am not the one that started insulting people when they out debated me, did i say some stupid stuff, yea, only one thing, and that is challenging you to a fight, but since then man i have said to drop it repeatedly, and you cant... i started getting on you, because you had no right to insult others. when you are perfect you let me know, but no one is, no me, not you.... no one is. and i refuse to let people rag on others because of their own insecurities, i just wont let it happen, regardless of any consequnces that might be bestowed upon me
 
I don't recall anyone outdebating me nor do I recall insulting anyone first. That is unless you consider calling someone a homer an insult. If that were the case, then I recommend you ease up and learn how to take a joke.
 
nobody else thought any thing you said was a joke or was funny, so at that point, you needed to stop... and not continue saying that we are ignorant, or that your sister gives better arguement, or saying people are wastes of time... when is that stuff funny, those are insults. blatant insults, and i wasnt up for letting you trash any one... regardless if you were outdebated or not
 
but i dont kiss no dudes or love em unless they are family, that is only the love part, not the kissin, i aint like that... no disrespect to anyone that is, ya know... all this really is, is i dont like people disrespected... if someone came on here today, and said something bout steel i didnt like i would have his back too.... BUT WE CAN ALL RAG ON JAGS FANS THO, THAT IS UNDERSTOOD, haha

I am not sold on Davis yet. I think he is a good player but he makes too many mistakes (fumbles). Anyone think we can get a 1st round pick and maybe a little more for him and go after one of the three top backs (Benson, and the two Auburn backs) in the draft?
Click to expand...


my only argument here is with your comment about his fumbles. he did have a rough stretch last year, but it wasn't nearly that big of an issue the year before. P.S.- look at tiki barber...maybe he just needs to work on his grip. dom is a spectacular all around player and brings a dimension to the passing game that less than half the teams in the league have. he can run and catch.

i say keep him. the best option might be to also bring in a hybrid back, a possible fullback/possible tailback to spell dom or for different situations.

I agree. I think that Dom is a good back. Not great by any means of the imagination. But where does it say you need a franchise back to win a superbowl? Yeah it helps, but there are 22 players on a team.

I kinda like finding the diamonds in the rough in round 4 anywho.

does everyone not argue on this board? people do it all the time to debate topics, yes stuff got out of control and it shouldnt have gone where it went, but that stuff happens, and make sure you know what homer means before you go and use it again... plus im sure there are more intelligent ways to get your point across then to use a word like homer
 
but back to DD, Davis was a steal in the 4th, and so far has had a very good career. maybe we draft a running back later in the draft, but DD re emerged as a very good back at the end of last year, so the coaches probably have him on high regard, plus hollings i think will still work out
 
The fact that teams scheme for us TO run the ball says all I need to know about Davis. He isn't a star. With the type of offense Capers likes to run, we need a star HB IMO.

The "star" on Capers' 96 Panthers was Anthony Johnson. He rushed for 1100 yards. He's a no name now.

But at the time, Panther fans probably were all in love with Anthony Johnson like most people on this board are in love with Davis.

The exact point I have been trying to make.
 
There is a big difference between Johnson and Davis.

Davis repeated the feat. In a league like the NFL where a lot of players are often one season wonders, it's a good sign of a good player who can repeat their performance.

I'd also like to point out that Curtis Martin and Domanick Davis share very similar stats their first two years in the league [give or take 300 yards in rushing.... but then again DD wasn't starter all 16 games his rookie season....]

edit: I do acknowledge that it would be fine for the Texans to draft a compliment to DD though. Running backs have short careers, and good ones are not always an easy find. I certainly would not want DD to end up broken down like a Faulk.

The reason Johnson didnt repeat the feat was because they got another guy that was an upgrade over a 1000 yard rusher.

Fred Lane replaced Johnson the next year and although Lane didnt have as many yards (AJ- 1120 to FD- 809), Lane had a higher yard per carry average (4.4 to 3.7), a longer run (50 to 29) and a one more TD (7 to 6)

When Davis rushes for 1000 yards in 10 straight seasons (is it 10 or 11???), I'll acknowdelge this comment

That broken down Faulk still averaged 4 yards a carry last season and Faulk didnt have to wait to game 12 for a run longer then 10 yards. (And no one confuse the Rams o-line to the Broncos o-line)

By your argument, Steven Jackson is a better HB than LDT because of YPC.

That said, Fred Lane wasn't anything special..... he never broke 1000 yards, and only played 3 seasons. DD shows much more promise than this.

The Rams were 99% pass 1% run. Of course Faulk will be able to run better!

Speaking of Faulk, he can also be a good example of a top HB whose initial 2 seasons could be compared to DD! In fact, I think he did much worse than DD, but look at how he's turned out!

Also, why do I have to keep saying that DD was playing through injuries in that stretch of games! You would be saying that a kid on crutches is terrible at a foot race when he is at a disadvantage.

Well, some people argue that since Davis had as many TDs as LT he is as good so take what you want from my last comment.

But the point was that, although Anthony Johnson rushed for 1100 yards, Capers still felt that there should be an upgrade cause Johnson was solid but not a star

Faulk had 2360 rushing yards, 22 rushing TDs, 997 recieving yards with 4 TDs (7 receptions over 20 and 2 receptions over 40)

Davis had 2219 rushing yards, 21 rushing TDs, 939 receving yards with 1 TD (1 reception over 20 and none over 40)

Those stats are very similar exept for big plays, Faulk used to be able to score from anywhere on the field. Faulk had breakaway speed and moves on top of that

Can anyone point me out the plays Davis has been injured on??? All I see is a normal play, nothing funny going on and Davis is limping on the bench a couple minutes later. His injuries come from being worn down it seems to me.

And what an upgrade it was!!!! Lane did not last very long.

The Draft is always a crapshoot..... if you 'think' you can get an upgrade, more often than not, you would be wrong.

Could there be an upgrade over DD? Yes.

Will you always get good production over that upgrade? Almost never.

Point being, consistency is always better than gambling for an upgrade in the draft. Why, by your argument, Hollings should overtake DD for the starting RB..... after all, he was a starting college HB, was projected to be 1st round, and has better speed, right?

What???
Click to expand...
Let me explain myself better.

By my 99% 1% remark, I'm saying that it is obvious that the Rams will always pass the football.

Your defensive mindset should be, "Send 11 guys into coverage, because Martz is calling a pass."

Now, on plays where Martz has a bit of sanity, he will call a run play. If the defense thinks pass, and you call run, do the math.

Look at the Texans. We run more than we need to, and defenses can guess when we run with accuracy. [I can guess so many times when the Texans would run a draw on 3rd and long]

Those stats are very similar exept for big plays, Faulk used to be able to score from anywhere on the field. Faulk had breakaway speed and moves on top of that
Click to expand...
Let's not forget. Faulk plays for dome teams. Wouldn't that artificial turf have anything to do with his 'speed'?

I'm sure much could be learned from this year's Colts.

He's had an ankle sprain vs. the Chiefs, and a groin injury vs. the Titans.

Yes, people do argue, but for the most part we all get along here. We just have different opinions of which direction the team should head. You guys, on the other hand, had stooped to insults and talking about violence. And it seemed that most of it arose from some of you being offended for being a homer. That's not necessarily an insult, but it is what you appear to be.

A stat I am more intrested in then total yards is yards per carry cause a guy can get a 1000 yards but need 300 carries to do it. So in that case, per carry wise Fred Lane averaged more yards, TDs and big plays than Anthony Thomas ever did.

Yeah, I know he got hurt but it wasnt like you saw the play he got hurt on. You knew when McAllister got hurt cause his ankle almost broke but you never saw the exact play where Davis got hurt. You just saw him a couple of minutes later limping on the sideline.
 
big difference in the rams offense and the Texans..

Teams schemed against the pass when they played the rams and Faulk would hurt them for that

Teams scheme against the pass when they play us because 1) AJ will hurt them if they don't and 2) DD doesn't hurt them when he gets 7 passes and 15 runs.. That means the ball is out of AJ's hands

I like DD and he does a great job with the talent he has,but we do need an upgrade.

I would think if you put a list together of the top runningbacks DD would be ranked 10-15 IMO. which isn't bad,but above average.

Just to fill in a little more--Faulks' yards came on 603 attempts for an average of 3.9 ypc. Davis has 540 attempts and an average of 4.1 ypc. Faulks' longest runs of his 1st two years were 52 and 40. Davis' longest runs were 51 and 44. Something else to note--Faulk never averaged over 4.1 ypc in a season until he left Indy (Davis averaged 4.3 ypc last year). His running in Indy did not impress them so much that they did not let him go. Of course then in St. Louis he has three years of at least 5.3 ypc. Was Marshall Faulk just a 3rd down back in the wrong role, not a franchise back, etc. in Indy? Did his talent suddenly explode in his 6th year in the league? Of course not--he went from a team where his full potential was not displayed to one where it was.

It is much harder to do, but the only fair way to judge a back is how is he doing with what he is given. Just a blind look at the stats is not an accurate reflection of ability (injuries are a whole nuther issue). There should be zero argument that DD has had below average blocking for his 1st two years. To see how that affects even great backs compare Clinton Portis in Denver and in Washington or compare LaDainian Tomlinson 2003 to 2004 where he dropped 1.4 ypc from his average as the OL entirely changed and was better at pass protection than run blocking. The blocking doesn't just affect ypc, it affects big plays as well. Clinton Portis 24 runs over 20 yards in two years with the Broncos vs. 5 last season with the Skins. LaDainian Tomlinson 2002--12 runs over 20 with a long of 76, 2003--12 runs over 20 with a long of 73, 2004--6 runs over 20 with a long of 42. All the pieces on the O have to work together and we will never know or see the potential of DD, Carr or AJ until the OL can do at least an average NFL job of both run blocking and pass blocking.
