All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Yes, I believe Alex Gibbs and that o-line deserved a lion's share of the credit... Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson got at least a grand themselves. Clinton Portis is better than Davis was.

C'mon, when does 62.5 yards per game make a running back? Would you be satisfied with TH or WM getting 62.5 YPG? The 1000 yard rusher is the most overrated stat in the NFL
i hate the fins too, but zach thomas isn't overrated. he is a solid MLB, and his name isn't raised on a banner or anything. now urlacher is overrated.

Thomas is not over rated, for a guy that went so late in the draft, he has played among the top MLB's in the league. I fail to see how he is over rated.

Originally posted by The_Philster Davis got 2000 though
I still think if you put Davis behind a lesser o-line, and he is a competent but not superb running back. Barry Sanders is the ne plus ultra of running backs... he played behind a militantly average o-line and busted off 2 K.

I won't argue that Davis would have gotten 2000 yards with a different O-line..it's ludicrous. But it's a combination of the talent and coaching at O-line and RB. If it were all on the O-line and coaches and not due to the player at all, everyone would get 2000 yards

We are looking at the prism from different angles. I certainly believe that Davis was an above-average to very good running back. He possessed an outstanding cut-back move which more than offset his lack of blazing speed. I'm not stating that Davis does not deserve lauds; I am stating that this rush to canonize him as a HOFer is premature, and that he was overrated by football pundits. It's self-evident to say that to get 2,000 yards the running back has to have talent and determination.
