Back up battle.

Jerious Norwood
vs.

Darren Sproles
How has the better potential to start?

sproles hes been in the spotlight and suceeded, norwood is a beast to but i have yet to see him realy shine in the enviroment darren has shined in

i dont know.....they nboth have great skills but i cant see darren sharing carries with LT. but norwood will be sharing carries with turner this year

i think its sproles but i think norwood is very underrated as a football player... a lot of poeple go by whether or not hes a good fantasy player these days and hes not but i think he brings great depth to atlanta and could be a valuable starter if he ever got a shot to start.. i jus think sproles has gotten the opportunity and done well already so id give it to him since hes proved it..

neither has got a shot to start except for an injury to LT or turner but i expect both to get alot of carries and catches and have good seasons

i think they both could start. if they could get a shot there best bet would be either buffalo or baltimore

thier both good sproles and turner learned alot from tomlinson now turner can help out norwood . ps running back cant be tought speed and they both got it. makes them just that much better

lol i didnt think you meant on another team i thought you meant this year. in that case norwood because i think sproles would have a harder time bein the feature back for 16 games

well i couldnt see them starting over either of the guys they back up. any other teams you think they could start for?

even if u were talking about them on a diff team why would u say baltimore or buffalo? Baltimore has mcgahee working hard to come back strong from injury and if hes still injured they got ray rice who they are big on to be their future hb.. and even if both failed they have leron mcclain who was an absolute beast last year when his number was called on to start... buffalo has marshawn lynch, just because hes suspended for 2 games everyone forgets that he is a legit HB.. he had a good year as a rookie and fell off a little last year but not enough to lose his starting spot... i dont think that norwood or sproles could take a starting job from either teams rbs..

ok then where COULD they start? i still say buffalo or baltimore or maybey cleaveland,or kansas city, or even seattle.

i think cleveland, KC, Seattle are all more likely then buffalo and baltimore.. they could start with the bengals too.. thats the 4 teams i could think of off the top of my head..

i think sproles could start before norwood because sproles as shown his talent and he is capable of being a starter

i was thinking about the bengals, dont forget about tampa. caddillac is injury prone. the colts could also use a running back now.
Norwoodhas flashed some skill his last couple of seasons i personally think norwood is better but thats debateable

colts drafted donald brown in the first round this year.. pretty sure they are covered at rb... i was thinking about tampa too but dont they still have earnest graham?

he's not a proven starter. i barely know who he is, lol.
and donald brown might be a bust, you never know. but until someone steps up for them i say one of them could start. until they find a suitable starter they could both start and take some of the load for payton

thats jus where our opinions would just differ with the colts... i love donald brown, i wanted the pats to draft him... i dont think he will be a bust i think hes gona steal joseph addais starting spot by the end of this year..

he was a very good back dont get me wrong but until he proves himself i think they could both start

LT will be healthy this year, therefore taking Sproles out of the equation as a starter.

ok, but if he could where would he get a shot?
i know norwood is gonna share carries so i guess thats like a starting job.
i seriously think sproles could strat in indy

but norwood isnt gona get half of the carries, hes jus gona spell turner enough to keep him fresh and make sure he doesnt end up with 350 carries and be worn out for the stretch run at the end..

tru. but norwood has that amazing speed that just freezes defense's. what about oakland? mcfadden was injured so, i dont know if he will back to his full potential

another good topic.

sproles was amazing last year, and people didn't even miss LT because they had darren.

jerious norwood is a beast, i even had him on my fantasy team and he was good for some points. but he doesnt have that 6th sense like sproles seems to have.

darren sproles just has that x-factor, hes an amazing play maker, i gotta go with him.

but yes they could both start. and baltimore could use a back like norwood, id say. sproles could go anywhere that they need a well rounded back, like new england some time soon, after they drop all their shitty backs.

its not gona happen.. we are dedicated to our shitty backs weather u like it or not!!!

hahaha while i was writing that i thought "beaner's not gonna like this", but hey...

its not that theyre shitty, its that theyre OLLLLLLD. leaving out BenJarvus (because i know nothing about him), you have kevin faulk, sammy morris, and fred taylor... a combined THIRTY-THREE years of experience! PLEASSSSSE new england, bring in some talented youth that can benefit from guys like these!

now, all together they will do good because they have enough depth to weather injuries, and split carries. but these dudes are old for running backs, but luckily they have a beast of an offensive line to clear paths for them.
