Eddie George

[sportscurmudgeon]

I have to admit that the people who post here confuse me more than once in a while.

George is "over the hill" and will "eat up cap space" and isn't worth the time of day. FYI, one reported offer to him is a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum with incentives that might take the contract value up to $1M

On the other hand, Rock Cartwright is a valuable commodity.

Assuming that Cartwright and George will both be "fill-ins" this year - and remember we are only talking about "this year" because it is unlikely that any team will give George a long term deal with a big signing bonus that would have any cap implications - why is Rock the better running back?

Should the Skins sign George? No. They are already well stocked with people who can give Clinton Portis a rest for a series or two a game.

Is George the same back he has been for the past 5 seasons? Not even close.

Is George such a ridiculous signing by an NFL team that they should worry that they will be compared to the Skins for signing Deion or Jeff George? I doubt it.

Just a GUESS, but I THINK he'll wind up in Dallas when all is said and dong.

I don't know if anyone is necessarily saying that Rock is the better back. I think what is being said is that George's best days are behind him and what Rock has is upside and the promise of a solid future in the NFL

I wouldn't like going against Eddie for two games a year. He is old and probably way past his prime but he is a warrior. The postseason game against Baltimore he had a good game against a team who probably has the best defense in the league. He would get drilled and come back and destroy someone else or get drilled again. I just remember the times he and Ray Ray would collide and they would get up and start yelling at each other. There aren't too many players who don't get flustered after getting hit by Ray Ray.
