Chiefs Jamaal Charles: Starter? - Page 3

Johnny Vegas · 01-19-2009, 07:55 PM

Just wondering what people think of JC(Jamaal Charles) on here. I think he's

not a starting back yet, but in a couple years he will be. I just think that he's a

player that if you give him more receiving plays he'll be a more productive

player, but not as a handoff back that will plow people over. I also think that

he will strive if there was a running game because he would definitely

compliment a bruising running back. It would have worked with LJ, but he was

out for a month and really there was not much of a running game the whole

season. I know I'm being ****in' captain obvious with the last few sentences,

but I really think he'd be a good compliment for a brick shit house RB that

has a running game and not start next year.

Jesus Christ would be a great returner. Just think if he became an every down back we could call the line "the apostle's."

I just want Moses at left tackle. Jesus could, however, through a Hail Mary on every down, rewriting history on each Sunday.

If they do move from LJ which seems pretty likely with the change at the top of the organization then you look for a guy who can take alot of touches and be a hammer, James Davis in the mid rounds possibly.

I like Shonn Greene out of Iowa in that role as well.

I've been around many current and former NFL players and have always thought that the NFL is very accurate with their listings of height and weight however, in Jamaal Charles case, trust me, it's wrong. He can't be more than 175 pounds. I just don't think he'll ever be able to take any significant pounding in the NFL at his current size.

Yeah, ya know I haven't seen Charles in person, but I thought he looked small for his listed weight.

I also like the idea of Kolby Smith playing a bigger role this year along with Charles and a draft pick to make 3.

Are you saying Jesus Christ couldn't hit a curveball? Err, be a good returner.

hopefully he develops into the next Darren Sproles...

If LJ leaves than I would think:

Charles - 9-12 carries per game
Smith - 10-15 carries per game
3rd or 4th round pick or FA signing- 5-10 carries per game

but it would vary each game of course

it made me figgle.

I think the 2 seasons should have taught people that Kolby Smith is basically a backup special teams player that has a problem not getting injured.

And that he's slow and has no moves.

Other than that, he's great.

He's 4 lbs lighter and an inch taller than Brian Westbrook.

He had a down year last year, but when he filled in the year before that he played great. He was playing better than LJ at the time, I wouldn't give up on him just yet.

I don't think he'll make it, but it'd be great to snatch Shonn Greene in the 3rd. I think our needs are too great to take him in the 2nd.
