Bring back Stephen Davis

Why not bring them all back Heath Shuler, Michael Westbrook, and Steven Davis. I smell Super Bowl. Then let them all fight it out in practice

shame on you for suggesting we trade away another draft pick. we will need all of them come next april. we have alot of guys who are getting up there in age and we need to draft for the future instaed of relying on FA every year to fill our needs.

Whatever interest there was before may be gone now that they watched Sellars run the ball. To me, that was a nice bright spot in a black sky of poor execution.

I think there are greater needs that should be addressed first(such as our kicking game) before even considering the return of #48.

# 48 was great in his prime. But that was at least 3 years ago. That said. If he wants to sign for cheap. He could still be a great goal line short yardage type back. Kind of like Gerald Riggs used to be. I for one would be happy to take him back.

He has a history of fumbling,which he never got under control. I like SD & would be glad to see him back, but I think Gibbs' main concern would be his fumbling, in addition to his age, health.

Just going off NFL.com's stats. Either way, the way most guys are talking around here, the guy's 1 week away from needing a walker. Hard to imagine a guy could go from 12 TDs to completely useless in a few months time. The way I see it, we don't have anyone on the roster better at punching it in the endzone from a few yards out than Davis. Not saying we should actually sign him, but it's a little tough for me to buy that the guy has no value, or worse, that he's a liability.

no need we got duck duck duckett!!!!

SmootSmack · 08-24-2006, 08:53 PM

Latest rumor is the Rams have offered Davis a contract

superskins · 08-24-2006, 09:06 PM

really? thats wierd

Riggo44 · 08-24-2006, 10:16 PM

I hope he gets picked up by somone if he still wants to play. The Rams would be a good fit.

Pocket$ $traight · 08-25-2006, 01:26 AM

We have enough injured backs.

onebum · 08-25-2006, 02:36 AM

Yeah, several sources are stating that the rams have made Stephen Davis an offer. If he accepts, if its for peanuts, if it requires a physical, if they will let him use a scooter instead of his knees, who knows.

Lord knows this is a new rams team...the greatest show on turf...not so much. Guess the high flying float like a butterfly and pray you make it to the endzone before you get stung days are over in St. Louis. Steven Jackson and Stephen Davis in the backfield, those would be two horses.

Odd as it sounds, the Rams are going to be more of a smashmouth type team this year. Jackson is finally going to be turned loose.

mapod · 08-26-2006, 02:34 AM

Lets not live in the past folks......move forward....the 'Skins do not need another running back anyway.
