Don't forget that he has not been utilized AT ALL in 2 years. 2 years ago we didn't have an OL so he had a terribly unproductive year, and we were playing from behind so we never bothered to run the ball.

Secondly, in my opinion if he was running with this current bucs Oline, and NO disrespect to Doug, but Blount woulda been a far more attractive player for fantasy and for teams wanting a solid run game.


He is simply a good RB who had 1 chance to shine, did shine, and then was ignored.

hmmm. with blount. i'll say the same thing i said about releasing wright. he was lazy. blount has fantastic ability with running people the fuck over. but he couldve been faster, had better ball-handling skills, better hands. his endurance wasnt a big question imho, but he had areas that needed improvement, but wasnt trying hard enough, and it showed. just because the players didnt pan out, doesnt mean they were talentless, everyone has their vices and issues.

i will use your post to combat bobs above.

and that is just my point. he had a solid rookie year and then because of the inept offense and his own shortcomings, he didn't ascend to the status he should have.

that's all i'm saying. the kid had potential and for one reason or another, never reached his apex

y'all got differing pov's of blount. you say hes gonna dick outta the nfl, bob thinks otherwise. im inclined to agree with bob. i think belidickface will do what he does with lazy talent, whip em into shape, and get something good outta him. he may see a 1k yard season before he retires, maybe 2. we'll see if he rises to the occasion come playoff time, which he'll see in NE.

please find where i said that.

i'll wait

you arent saying hes gone to shit? do explain how youre saying hes going to get good from here.

that is terrible logic. because i'm not saying one thing, you assume i'm saying the complete opposite?

just horrible logic LOL

are you saying otherwise? cause you arent.
anyways, wiping my hands of this weirdness.

His own shortcomings includes the addition of Dougzilla - who would replace ANY running back in the NFL, 25 teams would start him as the #1 in a heartbeat - so what chance did Blount really have?

He has the ability to explode any time he touches the ball - something that I think he would have done last year with the Bucs but as I said we had Martin, at that point we did not need a bruising power back because he was a between the tackles shortass.

His apex would be achieved by a power running game

if what you said was true, then how come he wasn't able to secure a backup role?

if martin goes down, this "explode any time he touches the ball" mentality you have for blount would probably be desirable to the bucs, would it not?

the coaches and staff know what they are doing, and you clearly are seeing things that aren't there. the people that saw him every day in practice would know better than you i'd wager. had all the bullshit you've been spitting at me the last few posts been true, the front office would have kept him around. ghat being said, the pats are famous for taking broken players and making them into stars once more. this is common knowledge. so if he really has anything left to offer, belicheat will find it.

i like your optimism, but i promise you that your thoughts are misguided.


/e you do realize he was traded for a guy who has never touched the ball in the NFL and a 7th round pick right?
