Why not Dominic Rhodes?

[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 134561, member: 227"] People have been talking about getting Turner, or drafting a RB but why not go after Colts free agent RB Dominic Rhodes? I have not seen many Colts game the past season, but I do know Rhodes was the starter before giving way to Addai. I also heard that Rhodes was a great blocking back, so I assume he'd be really useful with our still (relatively) young O-line. I thought Rhodes might be a bit slow, but looking at his stats on NFL I found that he had 1118 KR yards (with 1 TD) at an average of 24.8 yards per KR a couple seasons ago. He has a 23.6 career KR avg with over 2,810 KR yards. From those stats, it looks like he's got speed. Rhodes is 27 years old, but he has been a backup most of his career, thus his body hasn't taken a lot of beating. He is listed as 5'9, not really the tallest of backs but that isn't too much of a concern. Also he had a great Superbowl, and the argument could be made that he should have been the SB MVP. The only real problem I see might be that his asking price might be a bit high because of the Superbowl performance, but then again if he becomes a good back in our system, the price would be justified. So should the Packers take a run at Rhodes? [/QUOTE]
