Ladell Betts signed
 
Hoping for the best from Betts - if he flashes the form from his senior year at Iowa that'd be good.

I just saw this and was about to post it. I'd be happy if he showed flashes of his '06 season when he rushed for over 1100 yards. I don't expect it, but I like the signing nonetheless.

Guess he wants a ring too! :mrgreen::doh:

But I just read he's a fumble machine...

So is this a good thing ???

Personally, I think it's a very AVERAGE thing ... There's a reason he was still out there and available ... We'll make him look better than he is, but he isn't all that great. Hope he has a career season.

Not personally crazy about it ... guess they want to see what he can do in preseason ... there will be someone better at final cut down probably.

I'm still thinking that a trade could happen.

Welcome aboard Betts. Glad to have you here:bng::D

Ashley 08-17-2010 07:40 AM

Well I still think the young guys will beat him out.

Ashley... LOL at the Avatar.

Look I don't care what people "hope For" from PJ and Ivory. They haven't proven enough in Payton's offense AND both PT & Reggie will be banged up at some point this season.

I feel better having another vet RB to at least compete with them. Good signing - we got what we needed.

Let's watch this one closely as well as other cuts around the league.

Ashley 08-17-2010 08:43 AM

Thanks, lol

agree totally, this is just a perk but even up to last season betts was good enough to make a lot of fantasy teams. he's not a joke the man could carry us in the worst situation

He is makin good money compared to our starter only makin 1.75 million. He wont get 1/3 the amount of carries or catches as PT. PT will be the leadin rusher for the 3rd year in a row.
