It would bother me if he was the starter but he's not.

[Tatonka]

i would definately take him as a back up.

Cool. I'll take Hearst at the vet min on a one year deal. Good backup for McGahee.

But is he under contract with the Broncos? I assume he is a free agent.

He is well rested, having not taken much abuse over the past year and a half. Coming off a fractured hand...but I think we could use his locker room leadership.

I'm not sure, given Hearst's age and history of injuries, that he's that good a back up candidate. I'd pass.

agreed- the guy's older than dirt.

Hearst would be a good backup. The only threads we should see regarding him as a "special player" should be in regards to his coming back successfully after he broke his lower leg like 5 years ago. ( I think he had the Bo Jackson type of problem where not enough blood gets to it, etc.. and there were concerns that his career was over.) Other than overcoming that he's an older back now who would be a good backup as long as he stays healthy.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I'd take him as a backup. He was part of my fantasy championship team a couple years ago.

G. Hearst has been a 1000 yd/4.0 YPC back throughout his time in the League with a 1500 yard season a few years ago plus he can catch the ball out of the backfield.. I'm sure he learned how to pick up the Blitz while in SF so he's a viable 3rd down back to give WM a rest.

If he's still in good shape he'd be worth taking a look at, he's been a conditioning guy since returning from his early ankle/leg injury.. A beast in college.

TD should call up James Stewart and see if he's interested in a backup position. The guy fits our style of running game.

[DMBcrew36]

I think they'll try to get him cause he's cheap

[ryjam282]

I think he would be a good backup. He is a solid player, a little old, but a good backup if needed.

[ParanoidAndroid]

I'm sure he learned how to pick up the Blitz while in SF so he's a viable 3rd down back to give WM a rest.

Exactly. He's a third down back. If McGahee goes down we would probably see Hearst, Burns, and Williams sharing the load.

[Ebenezer]

I'll take him as a back up but with the Bills cap situation, if they get Shelton GH will be playing for the minimum.
