Am I the only one that thinks Willis McGahee is overrated????
If so tell me why I am wrong.

If it wouldn't have been for the knee injury, he would have been a top 3 pick overall. So if you believe he's healthy, he should be a stud for a long time. He was the best RB in college, and showing that he's the real deal.

But people drafting him over Lewis, Deuce is certifiable.

No, I don't think you are the only one.

I don't see were this is comming from. He was the hottest back comming out of last season. He was certainly good enough to unseat a very good vetran RB. If you worried about his injury history, I would say Martin is worse off injury wise and all he did was go out and win the rushing title last year. Holmes is the same way, every year people pass on him because they think he is an injury waiting to happen and all he does is go out and score points. If you rule out guys because they "might" get injured then you don't have many choices left.

Curtis Martin has never missed significant time due to injury in his career. One of the most durable backs ever.......but I think Willis is being a little overrated myself. Not 2 rds overrated, but I have him about 8 or 9 and alot of people have him top 5. Not because of anything physical, just my worries about Lohsman and opposing defenses stacking 8 in the bos all the time.

i have him as my 8th overall rb. I think he has the potential to be a great stud rb but seems to be a little bit of gamble compared to guys like Duece, Edge, Jamal, and Portis. Would be happy to have him as long as i was able to get another quality rb like Davis, rudi, or Kevin Jones.
