Chris1982 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hey, I have Frank Gore on my roster in a 12 team, head to head, PPR Yahoo league. We have the "waiver wire budget" system, where everyone starts with $100 and the highest bidder gets the player. I am just wondering how much everyone think is worth bidding on Westbrook (to keep him as my handcuff to Gore). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 AT least $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1982 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 $50? Spend 1/2 of my entire season's budget on a handcuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd and schlong Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 He wasnt being serious. Depends how much you like handcuffs, if you only have a 100 bucks id say about two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1982 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) I'm just more concerned about how much of a role Westbrook will have. Will he be the Reggie Bush of the 49ers? Edited August 18, 2010 by Chris1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
561427 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) good article from the huddle about reset and RB's in 2010. They were discussing RBBC situations and i remember they brought a good point up. They only signed B. Westbrook when they were faced with injuries and G. Coffee retiring; Meaning they dont plan to incorporate him too much from what it sounded. I cant find the article now but i read it just a few hours ago and it made sense to me. I dont think gore will loose much. Edited August 18, 2010 by 561427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1982 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 I agree, but now this just brings up 2 questions for me... Glen Coffee was developing as a player, so they we almost "forced" into using Gore a lot more... I don't see Westbrook as a replacement for Coffee...he adds a lot more than Coffee ever could have... and they won't be paying Westbrook $1.25 million for nothing... I can't see him simply being Coffee's "replacement". Also, will this be the same situation as in Atlanta? Westbrook has more value than Dixon while Gore is healthy (just like Norwood does when Turner is healthy), but if Gore goes down, does Dixon become the starter (just like Snelling would)?

I dont know enough about all this to speculate any further about it though. My novice opinion says to me that Gore is going to work hard but not as hard as he did last year now that they have another decent RB to entertain. But i dont think RBBC is in the future here. Whats Singletery's history say? or the OC? maybe their history will have some insight on this? http://www.thehuddle.com/x10/articles/tvp-...set-year-rb.php Some really convincing stuff on RBBC and the league in general (^^^ missing link form my post above ^^^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I don't know how much you should pay for him, but it will be hard to keep Westbrook off the field. He's a dynamic back and can be a difference maker for the niners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
