Doug Martin got 24 carries and still couldn't do it...(I'm not defending Carolina, btw)Don't let a game against Carolina fool you. While Turner's career definitely isn't over, he's not the same guy he used to be by any stretch.Lendale White could come out of "retirement" and run for 100 yards against Carolina this season.What Gives!?Turner is slow and washed up!!!!!!Why do they keep letting him get all those yards and TDs!?!?!?
95 yards. Close enough.Doug Martin got 24 carries and still couldn't do it...(I'm not defending Carolina, btw)Don't let a game against Carolina fool you.

2010 - 9th 2011 - 7thTurner is still better than Quizz, despite being on the downside of his career. The fact is, Turner is hard to bring down once he gets a full head of steam and is running down hill. Seems like he was carrying four or five Panthers sometimes. It takes Turner longer to get that head of steam these days, but he will still beat up the bad teams, and Atlanta plays a lot of them this year. I wouldn't be surprised if Turner ends the year with high RB 2 numbers.
I'm pretty sure the hype on Rodgers would be significantly less if his name was Jack Rodgers.
sameDropping this week if I win my Hartline claim.
I have to agree. It's hard to drop him, the potential is there. I wouldn't think much of Turner's big game vs Carolina, their defense is putrid.#2 back getting snaps on a high-powered offense. So far not great but not alot available out there to make me drop him.
YeahIt looks like the dream is dead in redraft leaguesI'm not sure how much longer I can hold onto this guy. He's just not doing anything.
I am not going that far but Rodgers is done, the only reason I am holding him in my dynasty league is because there are no running backs on the wire and I am going to need a back when Spiller has his bye.4 touches, 12 yards. glad i didn't buy this hype.
i still think turner has enough left.
Just a hunch or wishful thinking I guess? He hasn't looked good at all with the opportunity he's been given. He's been indecisive, underused, slower than what what I was expecting and just doesn't seem to be putting it together. Plus he's got Snelling to take touches and snaps away from him. Having said that, I too still have yet to drop him due to a pretty thin waiver wire. I am still debating if RBs like Goodson, Tanner, Peerman, Joique Bell & Boldin have better potential value later this season in a redraft league.'HoTnickZ said:It seems the whole world says he's done, strange things tend to happen when opinion is tilted so heavily... going to hold on couple more weeks.
Would seem to be the conventional wisdom in FF, but ... haven't we seen enough of a sample size here? I mean, that offense has been clicking on all gears (for the most part), and all Jizz has to really show for it is one featured series (vs. Chargers) which resulted in a TD reception from 9 yards out. Pretty much it.And, ferchrissakes, Turner housed it from 60 couple games ago ... 'quizz is just plain invisible for now. Cut bait. Gladly.Everyone is cutting bait, including me, which means he will blow up.
Not sure. He had one big run for 40+ yards but it was poor defense and bad tackling on that play from the Eagles. Besides that most of his runs were the same as always...not getting too much. But they did get him involved in the game a bit more and some screen passes. He looked a little better than when I watched him before, but not overly impressive.did we cross the Rubicon last week?the Quizz finally produced a little bit
Technically, yes, But the games in which he touched the ball 35, 27 and 20 times respectively were the games that Sims missed. I expect Quizz to handle early down work and Sims to handle 3rd down work.Is he going to be the lead back until Martin comes back?
You shut your whore mouth about Sims taking any of Quiz's touches.Technically, yes, But the games in which he touched the ball 35, 27 and 20 times respectively were the games that Sims missed. I expect Quizz to handle early down work and Sims to handle 3rd down work.
I expect Sims to be involved all season.
That is a very good point that Quizz was really the only man standing when he got that huge workload. I agree that Sims will probably be involved with Quizz starting, but Quizz is a pretty darn good receiving back himself - so he may get some receptions as well.Technically, yes, But the games in which he touched the ball 35, 27 and 20 times respectively were the games that Sims missed.

Yeah but now one of them is against the Giants which is not idealSo I guess we still get three weeks of Quizz starts, but they'll be weeks 2-4 instead.
3 games. The 4th one was week 17 last yearI don't get it. Doug Martin is suspended for 4 games. You are still getting this guy for 4 games correct?
The suspension is based on games and not weeks is my understanding....
Correct - they're not going to give Martin credit for a hurricane.I don't get it. Doug Martin is suspended for 4 games. You are still getting this guy for 4 games correct?
