I take it you don't have either of them?

nope. but it's bogus, nonetheless.

Wow , some people need to get their brains examined

considering colston doesn't play tight end...and robinson doesn't play wide receiver...i'd venture far enough to say that it's unfair to be able to play either as such. certainly unfair to be able to play a potential starting RB as a wide receiver.

exactly! If you have to have a loophole to win, that is not good.

I usually agree with moonhead on most subjects, and this is lightly off topic considering I haven't seen Robinson enough to make an argument. But Colston I have. You say Colston doesn't play TE because the depth chart shows him as a WR I assume? He has lined up as a TE in games this year as well as WR. In essence, the only difference between him and TE's such as Gates/Shockey/Witten is they line up down more often than up. But then the question must be asked of "what is the number of stand up plays that makes a guy a WR and not a TE?"

This is just an argument I've had on a few other boards. I know it's a "new " situation to deal with in FF but more and more players are being utilized in mroe than one position.

you do bring up a good point. but the colston deal doesn't torque me off as much as a guy in my league starting two legitimate rbs in the rb slot and then another rb in one of the 3 wr slots. that's not fair to the rest of the league. especially if michael robinson is the featured back, like i expect him to be, this week. there is no grey area there; while, i will give you, there is quite a bit of grey area with the wr/te debate.

any SF homers know how a college QB gets drafted as a WR and then converted into a RB? or did SF draft him with the intention of making him a RB all along?

by **GMoney** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 9:50 pm

was drafted to be a RB all along. there was never any discussion about him being a WR. (unless you read that ESPN rubbish) Nolan saw MRob at the senior Bowl and made his decision about it then.

Robinson is a punnishing runner. He and Delaine Walker are offensive guys who absolutely LOVE to make the Defense pay for trying to tackle them. Gonna love to watch these guys develop.

Its not Bogus for Colston to be listed as both...but I do agree that Bush should be a WR/RB before Robinson is both....someone please tell me how or where they see robinson playing WR more then bush....deuce can be in the game in the backfield, while Bush is split out wide at WR, im holding onto bush until he can play both
