I think that midway through the year you will be kicking yourself for paying Lewis like was a stud when he is a role player. He is not a marquis RB, he is a bench player. You are paying him like a marquis player.
I think we will be ragging you about this for awhile.  |
So what about Ladanlian Tomlinson?
He is the same age as Jamal Lewis.... has MORE CARRIES and I didn't look, but I willing to say he has more receptions, mean he has more overall touches than Jamal Lewis. On carries alone he has 200 more than Jamal Lewis!!!
Jamal Lewis Career: 2120 carries, 28 years old
RB ?????: 2365 carries, 28 years old
From what I saw is that Jamal Lewis was revitalized in Cleveland... again as he does not have to carry the entire load of the offense like in Baltimore.
LT does a good job of shying away from contact, but he still has tons of milage on him and last year his body finally has broken down some. What if it is a sign of more injuries to come? That's not something I'm willing to risk 6500 cbs on.
But we have a difference of opinion and that's what makes the world go round. I just fidn it funny that people call Jamal Lewis old, when he's the same age as LT and actually has fewer mileage on him.
