    Why the boner for Michael Turner?

    He's been nothing but a backup so far. Yes we've seen him have good games but it always comes after Tomlinson has worn down the defense and playing with a huge lead. Has he ever been a starter? No. Has he ever carried the load for the whole season? No.

    What has he done to be so sought after? He's another Matt Schaub. It's all about hype, has proven nothing to deserve all the love.

    I'm not giving up a 2nd and a 3rd for "potential". Not after Rob Johnson.

      I'm not saying he sucks. He could very well be the next Priest Holmes. But hell nobody knows. No reason to lust after him and throw multiple high picks away for him.

        I agree. Turner is not worth all the hype.

          I havent popped a full fledged boner for the guy either. A mini chub but only for a 3rd round pick

            You could have sat here some years ago and started the same exact thread with backups at the time such as:

            * Why the boner for Priest Holmes
            * Why the boner for Larry Johnson.

            You can either play or you can't. He will never carry the load for SD because they have the best player in football with LT.

            You don't average 6.0 yards over 157 carries by accident.
            He had TD RUNS of 83 and 73 yards.. when is the last time ANY Bill has done that?

            Better YPG stats should be judged when your team is ahead and your opponent is playing the run... He averages 6.3 YPG then (64-403)..

            He averages 9.8 YPG when SD was in their own red zone.. that's ridiculously sick.

            There's a huge reason SD wont just give him away.. He's got sickening skills.

            How could anyone say he's not worth a minimum 2nd rounder? He may be better than Peterson AND LYNCh, and at worse he's a 50x more sure thing than anyone in the PIttman, Irons, Hunt, Bush class.

                He's built like a bowling ball at 5-10 240 and would seem to fit behind our suddenly huge OL. How often do you see a guy with that build as a teams primary kick returner ? Think speed. He's had a couple starts and played well.

                If he could be our RB for a 2nd round pick, why frown on it ? Who's superior in Round 2, in this weak RB draft ? Unproven NFL talent.

                I doubt we'll make the move anyhow but he's an interesting player.

                Matt Schaub ? Who cares ? How about Brett Favre, that bum Atlanta dumped on Green Bay years back ?

                I guess you can window dress anything to make your position look stronger.

                I can't believe RJ was brought into a Michael Turner thread. Good grief, what a reach.

                  You just named players who were great in college and did NOTHING in the pros.. Turner is the exact opposite, who's proving it in the NFL .

                  I can go ANY position in football and say the same thing. Senseless.

                  Then again, its coming from a guy who thinks we should be drafting Leon Hall

                    I agree he is a solid player but what round was he drafted in? Whos to say Bush for example couldn't be just as good?

                      Turner is still young.. why would you want to take a chance on a college guy becoming a good pro, as opposed to a young player who's already is proving in the NFL what a lethal weapon he is?

                        Yeah, a guy who hasn't rushed for 1000 yards total in his 3 year career is "proven".

                        A Train has 2 seasons better than Turner's whole career.

                          Do you mean A-Train and his 3.1 YPG average over the past three years?

                          Keyshawn Johnson was great in 2001 as well. Maybe we should trade for him.

                            You'll be able to find a guy like turner in the draft and only have to use one pick on him.

                              Maybe SD will take a third for LT, since Turner is so great.
