BIGBOY08 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Is it worth having both Baltimore RB's (Rice & McGahee) considering Baltimore had 591 rushing attempts last season and didnt really upgrade at WR this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBOY08 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 So you would abandon a guy like McGahee on a team that rushed the ball 591 times last year. That's kinda hard to let go considering what he's capable of doing if he's healthy. Any other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBOY08 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 I see where you're coming from but I had McGahee originally and thought the Ray Rice taking his job was fluff...A day after the draft I gave Burleson and C. Henry for Rice and Baker. I felt like it was the only smart thing considering I could potentially end up with the lesser half if Ray Rice lives up to his hype. So let me ask this. Would you ever draft C. Johnson and L. White or Jacobs and Bradshaw or DeAngelo and J Stewart. I feel like certain situations warrant getting both. Alot of risk to put into one guy in the NFL where you're only a play away from an injury and if your back up has great potential like the ones above you win without having to give up the house to replace the injured player. i would never draft them both.
