A look back at what the forum was saying about AK when we drafted him...

hagan714 · 12-05-2017, 10:37 AM

I was not crazy about the trade to get a player that was not even a starter in college. But in SP I trust was my final verdict.

SP always liked his toys and he found out a WR like cook was not filling the void thus Cook was trade material. IMO

In training camp I said Darius Victor might be our best back. Where is that guy?

Saints released him a few weeks back & landed on the Cardinals practice squad.

I'm pretty sure I compared him to Willis Mcgahee but I can't find it. I still contend that he is not like Sproles or Bush, which is the point I was making back then.

He doesn't run 30 yards sideways and half a yard forward like Reggie

Adapted very quickly to the speed of the NFL

From Danno...Here's what I said...

I think it was an excellent pic. I predict by week 12 he'll be the leading candidate for OROY and he and Mark Ingram will threaten to surpass the most productive tandem in NFL history.

That is spooky! I said the same thing but by week 10. Funny thing is, I can't find my post. 😀

Pretty sure I was one of those folks talking crap about the pick. That was a kinda rocky time for me personally and I was especially salty about most of the early picks. Happy to say I've moved on from that time and I love every single time they prove me wrong again.

I'm pretty sure I just called it a crap shoot.

Back to the topic. I called him a scat back and said Sean needs his toys. Calling Alvin a toy is like calling a Cat D9 a Tonka. Sorry Sean and Alvin.
