Shaun Alexander: stat hog?

[sniks]

They have been blowing teams out for a few weeks now and he was still in there late in games scoring tds. is there a difference?I dont think so.

well i think there is. Alexander was already taken out and then forced himself onto the field. But i think we should end this . I don't think any of us are really that upset about alexander either way. its fun to insult the NFCs favorite to snatch away my hopes of a super bowl, and in that spirit


Alexander= Bitchy stat whore

You make some good points.Honestly I dont really care, but he has had a great season and deserves to have the chance to get the record.

same here to an extent. since riggins got passed over I haven't really followed it much, lol. hopefully we will next year with portis

what about the scenario of mr alexander getting hurt trying to get a stupid record when the hawks realistically have a shot at the super bowl?think they could go all the way playing a back up running back?their back up is so good i dont know who it is

I agree that they should be more worried about wins and losses, but before the game last season they told him that they would find out how many yards he needed and try to get it for him. Then they took him out when he could have easily gotten the record, that probably would have irked me a little bit too, although, I can't think of many backs in the league who would react like that. Whatever the case, he is who he is, a great back...on paper at least.

i think if you have a chance to get in the record books why not. lets just say he never gets a ring he can sure say he lead the league in rushing and in touchdowns that year. Damn let the guy have his day/year in the spotlight. If it was portis you would be put him in put him in. I mean if you wanna talk about stat hog look at rice. he stayed 20 years in the nfl and you can say he stayed to put his stats out of reach.

It's not a huge, huge deal, but Alexander would have looked like a better man for giving his main blocker Mack Strong a chance to score a TD.
