Take Kamara and put him on this year's UGA team and Michel probably doesn't see the field. See, I can make assumptions also.

Oh I didn't think of that but you're probably right, especially since I'm flying the UGA banner as a draftee/newborn pup.

I gotta tell you, man. You look darn good in red and black. You should consider filling out your wardrobe with it.

For those not paying attention:

quote:
Alvin Kamara is 1 of 4 rookies in NFL history to have 5+ rush TDs & 5+ receiving TDs. The other 3 are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Doak Walker, 1950
Charley Taylor, 1964
Gale Sayers, 1965
Alvin Kamara, 2017


That's some pretty stout company, right there. I grabbed Kamara in a couple of my fantasy leagues, and glad I did. Some forget that they really didn't give him a lot of opportunities early. He has been amazing once they gave him more chances!

ETA
(I am thinking he started getting more touches in the third game or so? Something like that. He's been great.

He still a poor man's sony michel. Kamara didn't do shite in college and Sony looked 2x better than him at everything.

Sony has better burst, agility, speed, and catching ability. No one thought shite of Kamara while in college. He ain't better than Sony.

There are 8 former SEC backs in the Top 20 of the league in YPC. Fournette isn’t one of them.



I saw a stat last stating that Fournette has rushed the ball into more 8+ man fronts that any back in the laague. Sounds like I have heard that some where before.

If he ever ends up in an offense with a decent QB and OL, he is going to break records.

Try and take 10,000$ plus out of your bank, and not tell the goberment. We will see the legality of it.


Dude, you don't know what in the hell you're talking about.

you can't withdraw $10k in a single day without signing a form from the bank that then reports it to the government.

You can carry around $1b if you so choose. The government can't do shite about it.

You absolutely can not say that so definitively and not be completely wrong.

Really? You don't think the Saints thought too much of him?

He was the 63 overall pick.

Your stupid is showing.

he was the 5th running back taken behind Fournette, McCaffery, Cook, and Mixon. Plenty of people thought very highly of him in college otherwise he would not have been drafted where he was
