[QUOTE="flapackfan, post: 104350, member: 556"] First of all, Ahman is not a rare talent. He has good speed and has a knack for getting the extra yards. I could name AT LEAST 10 other guys with the same ability. Sean Alexander, Fred Taylor, LT, McGahee, Curtis Martin, Ricky Williams, Jamal Lewis, Edge, Priest Holmes, Brian Westbrook, Portis, Steven Jackson, Deuce. Ok thats 14 and there are more guys out there who can do it too. As far as his amazing receiving skills. I totally disagree. Marshal Faulk, Reggie Bush and Westbrook are examples of running backs who are good at receiving. What Ahman does very well is catch a screen pass or dump off underneath and make extra yards. Im not saying thats a bad thing but lets not kid ourselves. he's not a good receiver. In fact, in my opinion, his receiving hands are average and maybe somewhat below average. Ive never seen him make great catches down the field. I dont mean to trash the guy but i think we need to find another back as soon as possible like tomorrow. I was one of his biggest supporters for years but last week just made me realize how many times he has let the team down in the past. What good is it if you get 120 yards if you fumble near your own endzone and let the other team score a touchdown. Your 120 yard game means nothing at that point. I think he did that vs the Saints and then we had a hole too big to climb out of. Then he almost cost us the game twice yesterday. I mean really, how much is too much? I dont know about you but every time he gets tackled in a key situation(near our goal line or opponents goal line) or during a key drive, the only thing going through my mind is please dont fumble.
