They got Turner listed at 5'10 247.
Has he always been that heavy?
He could stand to lose 10 pounds and it would probably translate to more speed.
5'10 and 235 is still a beast. |

You do realize that is misleading. The game has gone so far away from the running game, that there were only 3 RBs to get 300 or more carries this year, and unless a back is simply horrible, they are guaranteed over 1200 yards. Bulk yards are meaningless in the game today. He wasnt the 3rd best back in the league, and he isnt even a top 10 back in the league anymore. The offense is going to be changing, and it doesnt sound like he is going to fit as well. |
Not trying to start any problems, jus curious, name the 10 backs u believe r better than turner |
Better than Turner:
LeSean McCoy
Adrian Peterson
Matt Forte
Deangelo Williams
Steven Jackson
Fred Jackson
Maurice Jones Drew
Arian Foster
Chiris Johnson
Ray Rice
Jamaal Charles
Darren McFadden
Equal to Turner:
Frank Gore
Ryan Matthews
Pierre Thomas
Jonathan Stewart |
LeSean McCoy: Yes
Adrian Peterson: Yes
Matt Forte: Yes
Deangelo Williams: Yeah, but injury prone
Steven Jackson: Equal
Fred Jackson: No
Maurice Jones Drew: Yes
Arian Foster: Yes
Chiris Johnson: Yes
Ray Rice: No, but more versatile
Jamaal Charles: Maybe Yeah
Darren McFadden: Yeah but always injured
Frank Gore: Yes
Ryan Matthews: No
Pierre Thomas: No
Jonathan Stewart: No |

Whether Turner's good or not, He's old, he's showing diminishing returns and he has to go. I don't care how many yards he got, or if you think other backs are better, he doesn't hit the hole like he used to anymore, he doesn't make many cats miss anymore, he has no break away speed and accept for the occasional safety he's not running many guys over either...i.e. he is TJ Duckett a year before he started to suck, he's got a little value now, so let's use that to make the team better over all.
