The best laugh I've had all year thus far, especially what he said about Ron Dayne:
Ron Dayne, New York Giants
A guy that just keeps "hanging around". I drafted him in the first round of one of my rookie drafts, and as bad as he's been, he *just* hasn't been bad enough to warrant me cutting him. Many times it has been very close, but I couldn't pull the trigger. I still can't, even though there's nothing good I can think of to say about him right now!
He "just" can't cut Ron Dayne?? What, is he in a 150-team league??
Oh, and what he says about Shaun Alexander is just priceless:
Shaun Alexander, Seattle
I already know that this ranking will spark the most "you stink" emails in my direction. To that I say, bring it on!! Seriously though, what exactly has Alexander done to prove that he can be one of the top 3 fantasy RBs in the league? I'm just not seeing it. Sure, he has the occassional game where he scores 3 TDs, but those are offset by 2 or 3 games where he does absolutely nothing. The other part of this, I keep hearing about him wanting to be somewhere else even though he's under contract to the Seahawks, not a good thing. That's one of the main reasons I knock him down a bit on this list, the unknown as far as where he might be next season. I don't think Alexander is a guy that can simply go to another team and dominate, though I've been wrong before.
What has he done? Um, he's only been, like a top-three back for the past four years. He only averages about 15 TDs a year.
"Sure, he has the occassional game where he scores 3 TDs, but those are offset by 2 or 3 games where he does absolutely nothing."
This isn't 2002, dude. SA is extremely consistent.
Okay, Westbrook will probably be (undeservedly) mired in a RBBC situation next year in Philly, and is ranked fourth, while SA is eleventh?? I hope this guy got paid Monopoly money for this crap.
