Willie Parker: Is he worth it?

Sgt John · 06-02-2008, 07:47 PM

Well, basically he becomes useless according to your vision.

Mendenhall pounding the rock and this other guy on 3rd downs.

No! Mendenhall at the goaline and Moore in clear third down passing situations. Parker will still get 250 plus carries, i just don't invision more than 6 td's, and that adds up to a #2 rb on my team. Parker is my 16th rated back. He is very valuable. Just not a #1 in my opinion only. What stats are you looking for? where do you have him rated , or are you trying to formulate that here. I'm just answering questions. What do you see?

Or are we perhaps talking about a change of scenery?

Not throwing him under the bus at all. I just don't see him getting enough yards or TDs to justify a first round pick. I could be wrong, no telling what could happen with the pony backfield, FWP could go off. I just feel if I am looking to draft him I would get the best value for him somewhere around the third round.

Are you in an 8 team league with 7 glue sniffers??

Parker will still generate plenty of yards on the ground. I fully expect him to hit 1200 yards again. But, as always, he will not score very often. Mendanhall will get the carries in the redzone and he will eat up the few rushing TD's Pit gets this season. A solid #2 RB. Mid to late 2nd round depending on the winds of the draft.

you realize he scored 16 TDs two years ago, right?

Hollywoodnash · 07-14-2008, 01:05 AM

Yes, he did. But, as we saw last season, he's no longer they're redzone back. They have 2 other guys they plan on using in those situations. His rushing TD's will be few and far between.

Sure, between rushing and receiving in 2006, he had 16 td's.

In 07, he had 2 rushing and 0 receiving TD's

In 05, he had 4 rushing and 1 receiving TD's.

In his rookie campaing, which I will discount because he was not the starter, he had 0 td's.

So in his 3 years as a starter, he's had 5, 16, and 2 td's. Right now, the pattern indicates that the 16 td season was the exception, not the rule.

FWP is going to be the Fred Taylor of a Jac type RBBC, will still get yds, but not many TD's. I think his yds will be down from the last few years as well. In the end, FWP can be my #3, but no way I want to count on him as a starter. I see him coming in right around 1000 yds and 4-5 TD's.
