You yourself has said last year that you don’t watch college football. U wanna deny that? Pathetic little boy.

And none of your feminine lamenting is gonna change that!
Go get yourself a Claibourne Jersey, throw out your “I love Talib” shirts, and get on with life. If you love Richardson that much, flitter over and see him in Cincy.
He’ll go higher than Ingram. But not much

Black Jerseys were never intended for game day, were strictly sales fodder. Nobody cares cause they will never be relevent to a game day discussion.

Drafting two backs is not out of the realm of possibility the way Dominick has operated.

Man there sure is a lot of Toast up there… Also that #5 pick has been pretty BAD for CBs at least ones worth the #5 pick.

For the Bucs to get the most Value out of this pick they need Kalil or to trade down for 3 High Picks.

That’s a one or two year thing. Take away this year and last year and run the numbers. The NFL has been a passing game for much longer than 2 years, so I’m not sure if that argument holds too much water. There definitely has been an added value to the CB position lately as a result of the passing game, but I don’t believe that CB>RB. I do think the talent pool for RB’s has gone down as a result of so many colleges running the spread offense, which pretty much eliminates the true running back position (as far as how it is run in the NFL). As an example, if you watch Oregon play, it is incredibly difficult to know if LaMichael James’s game is going to translate to the NFL. They don’t run pro sets, and when he does run, he’s running against maybe 6 guys in the box. He won’t see that much open field at the next level.

Anyway, I get what you are saying about shelf life, and if you go with the percentages you will be right. However, I think with TR, he may be one of the exceptions. He has such strong work ethic. He lives in the weight room, similar to most of the elite backs of today and the past. It’s definitely a risk, but I believe in no risk no reward. I do, however, completely respect the opinion you have. I just don’t like to hear people spout out ignorant nonsense.

Mo is an awesome player and we’d be lucky to get him but T-Rich (if he reaches his potential) will make a bigger impact immediately if we Draft him because RBs historically hit the ground running because it’s such an easy position to play.

T-Rich improves the running game (two headed monster backfield), pass protection (great student of the game/better pass pro than AP), receiving out of the backfield (more sudden and better hands than Blount), and the defense (by keeping them off the field).

Conversely, Mo (if he reaches his potential) shuts down ONE receiver or ONE half of the field at best. He can be marginalized by simply going somewhere else or running the ball.

Lastly, I think people have to realize that we’re not going to be able to fix this defense in one offseason. Our LBs are either going to be very young or average regardless of who we bring in because Black is going to start. Our secondary is going to be mediocre regardless of who we bring in because Talib, Ronde, and to a lesser extent, Biggers will still be around getting alot of snaps. We can address can put a bandaid on those issues this year (it’s easier to hide a corner on D than hiding a non-pass protecting running back on O) and fully address them next year. Great corners come out every year, running backs don’t. Revis was 14th overall. Asomugha was 31st overall. Brandon Carr was a 5th rounder and Cortland Finnegan was a 7th rounder. The starting corners in the Super Bowl were Corey Webster, Aaron Ross, Kyle Arrington and whatever cadaver they decided to put out there. My point? You don’t NEED to have a shutdown corner to make the Dance.
