Dude, What Downside Martin Opinion is that? Everyone here knows the man is on his last legs but whenever it gets expressed it's anti-Martin to you. That's not fair. We all love Martin but we're not just gonna sit back and say we are ok @ RB because he's Martin.
Me, too, when you use terms like "last legs" for the guy who led the league in rushing a year and a half ago.
And everyone knows that if there's an article about Martin losing a step you'll be posting it. Every time. Pattern or coincedence? I'll sit back untill I'm proven wrong. And maybe I can be at the end of this year. But you've been gunning for his time to be cut since at least 04' when he seemed to be at his best. Just pointing out what's what. It's always you at the head of the flock.
Ok. If that's the case. Can you then please post any current article that you can find that says otherwise. Find me an article that says Martin is a Starter that will run for 1200+ yds and 8 TD's. Exactly. I didn't make that story up
Martin is the best back on this team right now, and I still expect he'll have more carries, for more yards, then any of the other backs.
You know fully well that this boards version is still relatively knew. Every single one of your old posts which refer to Martin have long been erased. I can't dig up any of your old stuff. From "overrated" Lamont Jordan to "rookie" Cedric Houston. Youv'e been gunning for #28. And any poster aware of you're history would say so. Whether they even agree with me or not. So don't act like this is a big surprise. And like always I'll be right there posting in your negative Martin topics. And don't ask me to find fantasy articles. No article like that would be out about any back right now.
The Only thing I have ever said "bad" about Martin was that he was Finished. I never Said anything hateful about him or disgraced him because that would just be stupid since everyone knows what kind of a trooper Martin was in his career. Now you're trying to make it seem like I am anti-Matin again for all the Newbs which everyone knows isn't true. Martin was Great. Now He's not that has been my stance and it will still be. To you it may be gunning because i'm a realist who isn't afraid to say that the JETS were better off keeping Jordan or Seeing what we have in Houston. If you have a problem with anyone who thinks Martin is done then it's YOUR problem because I'm not the only one.
1. Wow. Doesn't that say it all then? 2. Uhh.... 3. For someone who "loves" Martin you sure like to point out the bads and not the goods. 4. It's been Crystal clear. Even a realist wouldn't want Martin taken out of the game during the 2004 season. You wanted Jordan to get more play time. I have no problem. I know what I see.
I never thought you were saying anything hateful about Martin. I just think you sell the guy short on the basis of one wretched season after a slew of terrific ones. Give him a chance behind a decent line and a consistent passing attack, plus some other backs to run on third-and-short and change-of-pace situations, and I think we'll see a return to form. You think he's a cap-room sponge ready for the knackers. That's pretty much what separates us.
Martin is far from finished. With a better offensive line this year he will surprise alot of people.............
