About how they went with gore over willis. I will say again, had gore not gotten hurt, willis wouldn't have even started.

Re: you guys hear what sims said about 'tha u'?
And how is it gore can rush for over 1600 on a team as easilly as bad as Buffalos, with a line in front of him as bad as the one in buffalo, but willis can't get 1000 yards.
Huummmmm.... -
Re: you guys hear what sims said about 'tha u'?
so, many players step up after a injury. Frank Gore is pretty good, Willis has underachieved, wouldn't call this news flash.Originally posted by ICE74129

Re: you guys hear what sims said about 'tha u'?
i also wouldnt call it a news flash that gore was the starter over willis until he got hurt.. this was common knowledge.
i am not following your point? so what is it?
are you trying to say that gore is better than willis? well thanks, captain obvious."All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity." ~ Gordie HoweComment

Re: you guys hear what sims said about 'tha u'?
yeah the point is a ton of clowns are clammoring that a BACKUP that never should have seen the field is our answer at RB which he isn't.Originally posted by Tatonka
Also it shows that another back with two blown knees can rush for 1600 yards on a crap team when willis can't manage 1000.

Re: you guys hear what sims said about 'tha u'?
Alot of players make names for themselves after a injury. Crowell,ellison are good examples. Even if they weren't expected to start they step up and show they can do. Out of college willis had earned his draft status. Honestly i think this is a weak arguement, but i agree its time for willis to goOriginally posted by ICE74129

Willis, the year he came out, was bar none the best college RB id ever seen.
Regardless of how it came to be he started, when he played imo, he was a better runner then even Bush.
As Ingtar said when he got injured he lost a gear and hasnt regained it. Its a shame because in 04 i thought he was headed back to form.Comment

he was NOT a better runner than bush. Christ when I thought I had heard the ultimate homerism, someone tops it.Comment

Devin, you're not allowed to have an opinion and express it in Ice's threads.
I'll say this in your defense, too...
Willis looked downright insane and every bit the threat to take it to the house that Bush was, except Willis had prototypical size to be a feature back.
Willis has changed. He's gained a bit of size and he's stronger, but he doesn't have the agility and burst he had in college and never will. He's a different type of runner body wise, but he still wants to run in his old style. It's not gonna happen.Comment

Re: you guys hear what sims said about 'tha u'?
It has nothing to do with him being a Buffalo Bill. He would have easily been taken in the top 3 that year prior to his injury. He did it all. Was a great blocker, he ran with the speed of a RB and hit like a FB, solid hands....etc. Most importantly Willis was a threat to take it to the house everytime he got the ball.Originally posted by ICE74129
I am not saying Willis is a better RB then Barry Sanders, or that he will be better then Bush. Im saying while in college, the 2002 season he started he was the best COLLEGE rb id seen up until that point. His 200 yard, 6 touchdown game against Virginia Tech was just ridiculous.
Statistically of course there have been other backs who have put up better numbers, set more records....etc. In fact only two other backs rushed for more TD's in a season then Willis in college one of which was Barry. Willis also only started one year. Id have loved to see what would have happened if he played the next season.Comment

Re: you guys hear what sims said about 'tha u'?
mcgahee is the personification of smugness and ego.
he underachieves because he thinks his name and college reputation mean more than his unimpressive seasons in buffalo. he feels he isn't being given the best tools and support around him to succeed. thus, he doesn't try, and you know what, someother team will pick him up.
whether when he does get picked up by another team, he will finally take the game seriously, or will his air of arrogence drive him to the ranks of backups? this remains to be seen.Comment

Re: you guys hear what sims said about 'tha u'?
Benson went to Texas. Youre thinking of Cadillac and Brown at Auburn.Originally posted by casdhf
It was really off and on. In 02 Brown started for Williams, in 03 Williams was back and was the starter. In 04 Williams and Brown both played pretty evenly.Comment
