    I think once Barlowe is comfortable with the game plan (should be approaching that soon) he invariably end being the starter. He's big, and strong, and I think he'll be able to handle the load.

    This is a strange situation with the RBBC, one we're not used too. I think we have enough for this year, and then we'll pursue a feature back thru FA. Its alot like 97 when we had Murrell, and then got Curtis, althought no one we have now even compares to Adrian. I actually watched Blaylock again this week from the Titan game, and although his production wasn't anything to write home about, he did make some key runs, and a couple of nice recoveries after apparently being trapped in the backfield. Someone will have to step up eventually, and time will weed the process out. My guess is Barlowe.

    is it that hard?

    To not be a complete dick I will say almost definitely Barlow, though I'm secretly hoping Martin will come back and wow us all.

    Martin's done. :(

    Barlow will get most of the starts and snaps this season.

    I'm not too sure. Who's getting the start this weekend? If anything, it's between Blaylock and Barlow.

    Martin is unfortunately not coming back. Barlow will probably be the starter the remainder of the year.

    Once Barlow remembers all of the plays and gets comfortable with it i'm sure he will be the starter for the rest of the year.

    Bad trade?!?! What are you, kidding me? It was a HORRIBLE trade, but I got Fitz, Randy and T.O, L.T. and Jamal Lewis. If I'm lucky, Barlow never sees the field. Great, now I just jinxed myself.

    I think it should and will eventually be Barlow. He just needs time to work into the offense then he will be the starter. Hopefully thats this week. But when Martin comes back I hope he starts.

    Blaylock actually plants his feet flat on the ground when he's trying to juke or make a cut. And he gets flattened most of the time. He's not even a real slasher, he's a change-of-pace back at best.

    Barlow may be a turd, but he actually looks like he's gaining yardage when he has the ball. The only back that will challenge Barlow's new starting job all year will be Houston, IMO.

    that's actually an opinion and support for said opinion that I can agree with.

    Just a pet peeve of mine.

    To answer your question I'm pretty sure it's going to be Barlow

    I think Barlow will surprise a lot of people. He has good upside, and will be good once he learns his role in detail. He is no CM, but he is a good season back. I predict 800-900yds this year. ;)

    WHoa thats some lineup. How many people are there in your league? im assuming not many since it would be impossible to get them all in a 8-12 team league
