Does anyone think Spiller is actually going to be any good?

i would worry more about gilmore panning out if i were you !

I anticipate this thread getting another bump in two years for this comment. Pretty cool a double bump style thread, might cause a ripple in space time...

You have to be kidding me. Some of the top players in 94' would be average players in today's league. That article is almost 20 years old. That's like saying those old Macintosh computers that was only good at playing Solitaire can be used in today's age doing the same tasks your computer can do.

Sorry but I find it hard to believe that human beings have evolved that much in the span of 20 years. I realize the game itself has changed quite a bit, but humans have really not. In fact many scientists believe that humans stopped evolving quite some time ago due to the conveniences we have invented for ourselves in the first world (no adversity = no reason to overcome = no reason to evolve). I suppose an argument can be made that we have access to a wider pool of talent nowadays but to say that a human born today is superior than a human born 20 years ago is a stretch at best.

It went over your head, I was making a joke about how out dated your article was. But yeah, if you don't think the NFL isn't different today than 18 years ago I won't try to explain it to you. You mad bro?

So you are, in fact, saying that RB is no longer the easiest position to transition to? Why is that? Have you done any research? Read any articles? If so, could you link them?

And where in this thread did I say that the game has not changed? I'm well aware that it has changed quite a bit, but it is still football in relation to a RB's duties which is, in point of pact, what we are talking about here.

It was hard for CJ, that is all that matters, but he has adjusted now and is a force.

100% agree. Add in the fact that he's a humble, unselfish player and the future looks bright.
