nothing really new on the FWP front

Re: nothing really new on the FWP front

Bye FWP...you won't be missed...at least by me.

Did he hit on your wife/girlfriend/mistress?
Did he kick your dog?
Did he refuse to sign an autograph?

Man, there's some real attitude in your disdain for Parker. I'm just wondering why? So, he's not the ideal back, what's to hate about Willie? He's been a good teammate and Steeler.

Hate is a very strong word. Extreme dislike for his game would be more accurate. Obviously, I have nothing against Parker the man. I could be a good teammate and Steeler...but I can't tote the rock. Does that mean the Steelers should sign me?

Not ideal is an understatement. The guy doesn't run well on any level. He can't catch...has little lateral movement to avoid tackles...his speed (yes I know he has been injured) has dropped off significantly. He has gotten better at not running up the back side of his linemen and that's the only improvement I have seen in his game. He lacks power...his ypc is pathetic...he doesn't move chains...he can't sustain a drive. He used to be a pure home run hitter. Now he seems to have lost even that.

When I think of Parker I think about 3 and outs. I don't think Parker epitomizes Steeler running.

Am I too greedy wanting a true 1a/1b system? Parker is not even a 3b in my book. Moore is a much better running back. Why not just keep Moore as our #2? At least the guy runs hard, has vision, good lateral movement and can catch.

Moore isn't a 1b... he doesn't run hard either.

He can catch, he is shifty.. but the guy doesn't run hard at all. He was a good 3rd down RB but Mend has taken over that role.

Did I say Moore is a 1b? I said I would rather have him over Parker. And Moore definitely breaks more tackles than Parker. Obviously, he isn't a power back but he fights for first downs. Even the Steelers commented on his ability to get the tough yards to move the chains.

I'm too lazy to do a point by point so I'm just going to state that I disagree with your assessment of Parker and move on.

I thought you did... no need to get upset.

I can't even remember Moore getting a first down last year.. I'm not being funny either.

I wasn't upset just clarifying. Moore certainly had a better first season than second season. I will agree with that.

Yep! Yep!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm??? there was this poster once upon a time that thought that it was just a matter of time before Fast Willie Parker's days were numbered.

Shawnie...birds of a feather flock together....oh...and I guess get banned as well together too.

Re: nothing really new on the FWP front

Well the man seems to know what he is talking about. Seem to remember him being high on Cody a couple years ago too.

Re: nothing really new on the FWP front

so if parker is gone next season who do we get for a back up rb? will moore be the # 2 or someone else via draft or FA? we will still need 3 good rb's. what if moore or mendy god forbid get injured next season? it would be wise to resign parker for what he is worth which isnt big money. if parker isn't resigned we better get a solid rb because 2 good rb's these days isnt enough.
