Seattle needs a hard working back. They've had enough pussies come through town. *cough Julius Jones *cough

Who would we compare him to if he was 5'11 and ran a 4.4 40? The fact is he's white and he runs with his head down and trucks dudes over, just like every other white back in the last 25 years. He has great size, strength and he's incredibly gutsy. Only time will tell if he's the next John Riggins or the next Brian Leonard.

Being incredibly gutsy doesn't mean anything if you don't have the strength to bull over guys like you did in college.
It's the same thing with Tebow. Yeah, right now it appears he's got great size and strength because he's bowling over guys at UCLA. Different story in the pros. I think he'll be solid but he's not going to be a top-tier back in this league. He doesn't have that explosiveness that is necessary in the pro game.Last edited by FedEx227; 01-16-2010, 01:07 PM.Comment

Only reason you're comparing Leonard to Gerhart is because their white RB's. Leonard was by far more athletic then Gerhart.
RB's don't need breakaway speed. Gerhart broke by defenders plenty, but it wasn't because of speed, it was because he'd end up bowling over the defenders, instead of making them miss.
He's gonna end up being a short yardage guy more then likely.
