Which RB emerges as "The Man" this year?

I will raise your serious and bet you two question marks. Walker learned a lot last year, but he just doesn't have the afterburners one needs to really be an LT type of back.

Ask people in NOLA what afterburners get you. Vision, Vision. DW doesn't have the H2 O2 rocket boosters but he can get quality yards. He is not our long term solution, but I doubt Green, Brown or Taylor are healthy enough.

Green and Brown maybe, but let's just look at this post again after the season is well along, to see whether or not Chris Taylor is well enough. Oh, and if you were alluding to Reggie Bush when you mentioned NOLA, I don't think Darius Walker could carry his shoelaces, (at least as far as speed).

no no no, reggie bush is faster than most including walker.

HOWEVER

as far as carrying shoelaces go, i'd rather have walker. and by shoelaces i meant footballs. 4.6 per and a great swing-pass option. what's bush got, like 2.4 per and an awesome slot reciever decoy? for what they are, bush belongs as the UDFA and walker the bust #2 pick hahaha....

as long as walker holds on to the football he will have a chance.

i really dont think anyone can say they would rather have walker than bush, even considering bush's lack of production so far.

I think it's Green's job to lose. My guess is that Brown would be next in line. I know there are high hopes for Chris Taylor but I'd like to see more from him. I actually hope Slanton emerges as the one back as the season goes on. That's just my wishful thinking though.

well we would all love for there to be a reason behind reggie bush's hype but i'm thinking scatbacks are great #2 guys. we still need a thunder back to pave the road before we race our shiny new sports car.

as funny as it seems what with all the slow, fat, and hamburger jokes we've made....ron dayne would probably produce better with slaton switching it up than just pounding dayne. or dayne pounding. whichever, it looks like it hurts to take him down.
