Still sort of stunned by the amount of shit I got for handcuffing Mewelde Moore with an 11th round pick

Considering that he gained about 8 pts per game last season, while Julius Jones averaged 4; Chester averaged about 7 - so I'm confused why I would get shit about getting a better player for a later pick.

Maybe Fast Willie wont break his leg, or Mendenhall wont break his collar bone, but considering he has 500 total yards and 4 total touchdowns in 2 games so far -- if he ever gets playing time, I can live with 37 pts per game from my #4 RB.

So first, could you have more sand in your VJay-Jay?

Second, the point of bringing everyone together for a fantasy draft is making fun of as many picks as possible. Because its very fun.

But more specifically. I don't understand your comment that Moore had 500 total yards and 4 TD's in the first two preseason games? I'm not sure he's even touched the ball in the first two games.

Last year is last year. This year Julius Jones is the starting RB for Seattle not the number 3 guy on his team. Chester Taylor always vultures TD's on whatever team he is on and Peterson is just as injury prone as Parker or Mendenhall and has shown he can carry the load as a number one back in Baltimore.

Handcuffs are backups, not a backup to a backup. Those are always available on the FA market and you probably didn't need to waste a pick on it.
