jeffreysg Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Based upon late last season and pre season , Kevin Curtis might be the real deal.. Injury's plauged him the last few years but finally appearing healthy this COULD be the beginning of the end for old man Bruce. Any thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Could be; but Bruce stays healthy, Curtis doesn't seem able to. Coach Chavez sez "ya can't help the club if yer in the tub." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispirons Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 bruce is good for a few more yrs. he has avoided serious injuries his whole career. protects himself well when he catches the ball too. smart wr and crafty. puts up those same numbers most yrs. nothing spectacular, but good number 2 wr numbers. yes, i do have him on one team. you would get that analysis out of me regardless.

ThatDude Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Bruce will be a fine #2 or at worst #3 WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest THEbigred Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) bruce is good for a few more yrs. he has avoided serious injuries his whole career. 976825[/snapback] ?? Bruce was infamous for hammy problems/etc years back and IMO saw his last "big" year (ie for a #2) last year. And yes he is on my team.

crispirons Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 how much time did he miss and what were his stats?? which yr are you referring to red??? a hammy isn't a major injury either. a nagging one, not serious however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrappy1 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Curtis looks good but I wouldn't be so quick to write off Bruce. He's a great WR and he isn't really that old - he's only 32. He did have almost 1,300 yards last year too. I bet he's still got 2-3 very productive (1,000+ yards) seasons left in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Bruce was infamous for hammy problems/etc years back and IMO saw his last "big" year (ie for a #2) last year. 976999[/snapback] Yeah, in -97-98 - since then he's played in 95 of 96 possible regular season games; Heck, even with the hammy issues, he racked up 88-1262-6 over 17 games. I'll grant that WRs can get old thisquick but I'll certainly take the risk w/Bruce that he'll stay solidly productive - the drafts I've seen him available in, he has fallen to GREAT value for someone I consider a lock for 1000 yds and 8 tds.

The Irish Doggy Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm playing a little old vet roulette at #2 and #3 WRs this year with Jimmy Smith and Bruce, but both of them can't fail me, right? right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) Yeah, in -97-98 - since then he's played in 95 of 96 possible regular season games; Heck, even with the hammy issues, he racked up 88-1262-6 over 17 games. 979489[/snapback] I remember those years. I drafted Bruce with a high pick to be my #1 WR in '97. That was year 1 of his hammy struggles ~ 11 games, 56 for 815 & 5 TD's ~ Not exactly what I wanted out of my #1 WR. '98 I drafted him again. Figured that lightning wouldn't strike twice. And if it did, it surely wouldn't be the hammy. Not with a whole off season of rest. Boy was I wrong, as his hammy was even worse. ~ 4 games, 32 for 457 & 1 TD ~ He killed my FF season both years. I've refused to draft him since. But I don't think he's done just yet. Curtis will be a nice flex WR, bye week filler, but barring injury to Holt or Bruce, nothing more....for this year!
