where's our san francisco fans to give us the heads up ;) 49ers have a good WR and a good TE this year (or so it seems)...

oh yeah? dont think we couldve used him last year? Priest Holmes is 31. and im not talking about his number. Davis still got it done.

big difference though is that Holmes produces in multiple ways and has only had one real injury that I can remember while davis always seems to miss 2-3 games a year due to injuries related to his knees, lower legs, or ankles. holmes is in a very elite club of all time nfl running backs and as much as I used to like davis, he's no where close to holmes' league.

Davis may not be in the same league as Holmes. And like you said about Davis missing 2-3 games a year is a down fall, but even though he misses 2-3 games a year he still rushes for 1,300 to 1,400 yards per season (unless Spurrier is the caoch), now just think if he could have stayed healthy for the 2-3 games that he missed. Not bad stats if you ask me... :twocents:

I wouldnt knock Davis for missing a few games at all. In all honesty, I expect Portis to miss 1-3 games somewhere along the season. These running backs take a beating, its hard for any of them to suit up for 16 games. I really like Stephen Davis, I hated how he was treated here the last couple years, but I'm glad we let him go so he could be somewhere that he could get a good opprotunity. I wish him well as long as it's not against us.He should be fine.

That is a big If[Staying healthy!] That is why I backed him up with Foster! Pluse I picked him up[Foster] late in draft in another league because I had that feeling Davis wouldn't make it all season! So can you say trade?

I have a quick question, I had Davis in my work league, and I was lucky that Foster was still available so I picked him up. My question is this, it is a 2 rb league, and my 1st starter is Portis and my second is either going to be Foster or Cris Brown, which one will have the better day tomorrow?

Hey guys, if you're going to rip Davis for being 'injury prone' let's not overlook the fact that Portis has missed a few starts in his young career due to injuries, and chances are he probably won't make all 16 starts this year.

Is there a back in the league that starts all 16 games every year??

Injuries are part of the game, especially for RB's and especially for guys like Davis who's playing style involves a lot of contact.

Redskins8588, i'd vote to start foster... colts D isn't great, but the KC D doesn't even know how to tackle... talent wise i don't think they're really THAT far apart... brown also got removed last game due to injury, so he may not be 100% right now.
