Duece McCalister released... would u be interested?

As Stewie would say, what the duece?

Seriously, why would we want him? The guy has a lot of miles and long injury history. We need a change of pace back to pair with Portis, not an aging, oft-injured, between the tackles runner.

I don't think he'd be an upgrade over Betts either. We're not going to carry four RB's, so the only way we he'd make the 53 man is if we cut/traded either Rock or Ladell.

Tripp- why does Fred Taylor interest you and not Deuce? They seem pretty similar to me at this point in their careers...

Maybe you are right about them being similar now, but Taylor has that long track record of success in many different schemes where as McAllister had one nice year in 2006, has been injury prone his entire career, and speaking generally, not all that good.

I like Taylor from the "If Portis goes down, who of all the available players would you want to replace him" angle, but he doesn't exactly fill our need at the position of getting some youth with gamebreaker type skills to compliment what we already have.

Thus, I'm not sure he'd be a good investment, even on a two year basis.

Hell No! I don't want a RB with two bum knees whose past its prime. This thread is pointless
