JUMbotron Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 @ChrisWesseling Coach Ken Whisenhunt on the #Cardinals backfield: "Clearly [beanie Wells] is the guy. ... This is what he wanted." 11 minutes ago via TweetDeck Chris is with NBCSports.com and this tweet makes my stomach turn like Tatum Bell/DeShaun Foster did.... The departure of Tim Hightower leaves Beanie and rookie Ryan Williams pretty much alone. Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'll never own Beanie the Weanie but if he can stay healthy, and thats a HUGH if, he presents high upside RB#2 material. You can probably get him in the 5th/6th rounds right now but after the Hightower trade I'm pretty sure he doesn't slip past the 4th. I'll pass.

matt770 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I have him in a keeper league and assumed I would be letting him go. Him now being "the guy" and Kolb at QB changes......not a hell of a lot in my mind. It's difficult for me to trust a player after he's burned me once.

bpwallace49 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I will believe it when I see it. Breaking news. Beanie the weenie just stubbed his toe. He is now out 4-6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I said this would happen as long ago as mid 2010 season. I own him in several leagues. People equate his performance, or lack there of, from his 2009 - 2010 season. When he had the ball in 2009, he performed fairly well with some issues, not out of the ordinary for a rookie player. His 2010 season was nothing more than a "we are rebuilding. Get him fixed and ready for 2011" The Cards then lose their star QB. At this point, they know they are in a recontruction phases of this team. They kept the team as compeditive as they could, not to injure players who were meant to be corner stones of this building team. They worked on Wells knee, knowing he would not need to perform. They brought in some nice talent. Having a good or even capable QB will make a HUGE difference for Wells. Anyone remember Troy Aikman his first year as a starter? They were about to string that boy up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You try to tell your friend that she is no good but he will have none of it, deciding to instead, abandon his friendships for a love that will never work. It's painful to watch... And don't even think about it...its not even in the same universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I still like the talent. I'll gladly take him as my #3 RB if he falls, or my #2 if I get all my other positions first. He should at the very least get quite a few TD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had Beanie the Weanie for 2 years now (and Im a Michigan fan!) Never again. Even with Hightower out of the picture, the Cards drafted another RB for a reason....thanks but no thanks.

tazinib1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'd imagine 15+ TD's this year. In a run heavy offense, that would be a heafty projection. As it is, they are not a run heavy offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennykravitz2004 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 If I'm owning anybody from ARI, it's Fitz. I see him having the kind of year Isaac Bruce did in 95 when he had no other real receiver with him, and a decent (Chris Miller?) QB. 1700+ yards and 13 TDs. Just one of those "gut feelings".

JUMbotron Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I can't cover and absorb everything about every player so I'll just admit I've seen little to nothing of Ryan Williams. I need to see him carry the ball against a 1st-string defense in preseason, even if just a few snaps. Playing devil's advocate, I will mention that Beanie endured a torn meniscus in the preseason finale last year. That's gonna ruin most player's seasons.

JUMbotron Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Agreed. Actually with guys like Wells, Moreno, and Torain, I circle them in red on my cheat sheet -- and only draft them if they fall ridiculously low. Except for Fred Taylor, who I bit on every year early because I was in love with his talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
