peepinmofo Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 So Jamal Lewis wont be the only threat any more. Derrick Mason should have nice numbers catching McNairs balls again (hahaha...that sounds bad huh). But how about Lewis? What form does he show this year?

Jackass Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 it can only help now that he's not on the worst offense in the AFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Honestly, an aging McNair is probably still better than any other quarterback in the history of the Ravens. Since Billick has been there, they have gone through Banks, Grbac, Blake and finally Boller. He will help every player on that team compared to what they are used to with Boller or Wright.

broncosn05 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Everyone sees Jamal having a huge season this year except me it feels like the guy is a mess and never was good last year even an instance. Even with McNair's arrival which I think will boost all stats I see don't like Jamal as a guy I'd pick to be a drafted starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNair does help Jamal, as he helps everyone on the Balt O... but Jamal just didn't look right last season. I'm afraid it will be steady decline from here on out for Lewis. He's still serviceable as a back-up or occasional fill-in on fantasy squads... but is questionable as starting material, imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I'd take Lewis as my #3 but no higher. Even then I would want Mike Anderson just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We start off with that O-Line who half the football world only knows one player in it and I don't care what you say even Odgen wasn't playing up to potential (smoked by Freeney) and is also aging. Then you go to the WRs, Derrick Mason didn't do crap last year and I don't think Boller was the real problem. And the dealing of Baltimore's best RB Chester Taylor (4.2) leaves Lewis (3.4) without a pace changer which Lewis benefited from last year. Thank god I never liked the guy.

wolfden1 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 You all are way off on Jamal. Dude is still only 25 years old. He'll get it back...maybe not 2000 yds again, but he isn't done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too frikin risky the guy didn't just have an off year he had a terrible year and it wasn't the scheme because Chester had no problems racking in for 4.2 avg. The guy said that he is trying to save his body for the career well guess what for me that excuse alone makes me say UNDRAFTED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping someone who drafts in front of me in each of my leagues is enamoured with the JLew's potential! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoBeast Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I bought into the hype for Jamal Lewis last season and I was burned. I'm not wasting a pick on him this year, someone else can have him. He's on a decline and I don't see him coming back. He's still young yet no team wanted him in the offseason. I don't know if he's lost a step, maybe didn't have enough time to get into game shape. Some say he lost his burst. He's running pretty soft. I dunno, but I don't see the motivation. You would think jail would really motivate someone to show all the critics like Ray Lewis did. That was not the case with this guy. Baltimore brings in a tough runner with Mike Anderson. PJ Daniels in the 4th round. The writing is on the wall.

If I PM you a list of the emails of the guys in my leagues who may compete with me for the top spot, will you send them emails urging them to pick Jamal??? Please? It would help my season if the right opponent took him early ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgcoach Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 (edited) I'll agree Jamal isn't top 5, top10 or even top 15 for this years draft simply because of his showing last season. Lots of questions in my mind about why he turned in the season he did. I don't think however he's done or has lost his edge. There are other things to look at that could have caused his slide. Jail, the ankle, the off. line,QB, and the eight men waving to him every play from scrimmage. I think he could put up some good numbers this year and be had somewhat later in drafts giving him some great value for where he could be taken. Is it a risk? Sure it is but, he also could be the best pick-value where you get him. A 27 yr. old back that has already put up 2000 yds. and has proven he can be a great back in the NFL. I'll take a shot on him if he falls, too much to pass up knowing what he can do and his age. Edited May 7, 2006 by jgcoach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
