    :lolwut:

    Let's totally ignore that he is one of the best pass-blocking backs in the league (and that Peyton basically hand picked him coming out of college for that very reason) or that when healthy, he's been very productive behind a crappy o-line.

    Did you not watch the first half of the Super Bowl last year (you know, the only half where Addai got to touch the ball and was the best player on the Colts offense)?

      well in college nowadays, you don't have those built RB's who can run fast, and take the workload anymore.

      Either those guys split carries, aren't super fast, or just are injury prone.

      You can get a RB who can fit into your system at ANYTIME it seems...

      Look at Blount...had school trouble, flamed out, caught on with the Bucs, and they may have a RB who can shoulder the load for them.

      The Jets had McKnight, who may see a bigger role...and he was drafted in the 4th round...speedy, can catch...just worried about his in-between the tackles...he had the skills to be good so we'll see.

        Besides the fact that McKnight fumbles about every 10 carries.
