FWP: 2006 and beyond

[The Great Gambini]

Is there any reason to believe Willie Parker shouldn't be a decent number two in 12 teamers for next year? I can't think of one, can someone shed some light here?

[HskrPwr13]

Anything negative at this point would be pure speculation. As long as the O line statys intact and Roth is healthy there shouldnt be a drop off.

Besides that 75 yarder, what did willie have? Crap. Not an every down back. He will be sharing carries.

[The Great Gambini]

SA didn't have the game of his life either, so is he crap?
With whom will FWP be sharing carries? Haynes? Duce Staley? I don't see where you're coming from too much, Sling.

If you don't think that they are going to aquire another back then you are crazy. FWP cannot handle a full-load during a season. They will probably get rid of staley...he is worthless. Haynes could take some carries, but I can't see them not getting another back to share the load with FWP.

Not really sure where this is all coming from. The question posed was whether or not Parker would be a good fantasy no.2 back. Based on this years numbers (sharing carries) the answer would be yes. Why would his numbers go down next year?

How do you know? His numbers weren't too bad this year handling a significant load.

I just don't see him being a good number 2 this year. Solid number 3 or backup. Just not an every week starter.

Just so I'm clear, Parker wont be a good no.2 fantasy back next year because you dont think he'll be a good no.2 fantasy back next year. (He shared carries this year so thats not really an arguement.)

I can think of one, and his name is Lendale White. If White falls to the Steelers there's no way they don't take him. FWP is too small to run as many times as the Steelers do. Also, he's too small to run inside the 10, something the Steelers typically do on First/Second and Goal.
