Kelly the Dog Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 I agree with this. I think about Lamont Jordan who was a backup to Curtis Martin and was not as effective going to new team with different scheme and different players around him yet cost Oakland a lot of coin. I believe Turner will want big money. I would rather pay Lynch or Petersen. There are a few things about Turner that could/dissuade a team from going after him... 1) he's always been a backup to LT. So, can he be an every down back? Is his 6.3 yards per touch more a result of subbing in for LT and opposing defenses letting down just enough to get burned by a very good change-of pace back? First of all, why does one guy going to another team have anything whatthefukksoever to do with another guy going to another team? Why don't you use Priest Holmes in that scenario? It's just stupid. Second, Lamont Jordan had 1600 yards, 70 receptions and 11 Tds with the crappiest of teams when he went from the Jets to the Raiders. That just sucks, huh?

I also recall Jordan having a couple of 50+ yard running plays taken away from him last year on holds called away from the ball.
