Willie Parker is the man for at least one more week

geekstufff · 09-16-2005, 04:01 AM

Look like Parker is going to be the starter against Houston regardless if Duce is ready or not. (ESPN) This should be a big game against Houston. Duce is being pretty supportive, at least publically, that if Parker is getting the job done then leave him in.

Ps. Not sure if this should have gone under here or Forums.

Another impressive performance by Parker this week would most likely cement him as the starter, I think. Staley will get his touches when healthy, which reduces the fantasy value of both, but from a team perspective, this could be one extremely dangerous 3 headed monster at Runningback.

Yep. If he plays the way he did last week giving guys the stiff arm and then juking the rest of the team out of the way then there is absolutely zero way that Cowher benches the guy. Duce and the Bus would only come in to give him a breather.

It looks like Willie Parker is your new starter in Pittsburgh...according to Cowher he wouldve started even if both Duce and the Bus were healthy. Oh by the way Parker had another 100+ yard game today.

"Steelers coach Bill Cowher had said Parker would start even if the other two running backs were healthy. "

You simply have to keep giving him the ball right now. The team chemistry looks great, and Parker looks like he is here to stay.

I would trade him away right now if I could. You might be able to swindle a McGahee after his dismal performance in TB.

I guess alot of it depends on what kind of league you are in, but.....

Why would you trade Parker?

Yeah I know I mean in one keeper league I have LT, Priest, McGahee and now Parker. I still dont want to trade parker. The guy is young and he is on a run oriented team.

Yeah but even my sloppy seconds are good. I'd love to have Kerry Collins back right now..I need a backup QB in the worst way.
