Gerhart ran 4.53 I told everyone that he is the 2nd coming of John Riggans. He would make us the best rushing team in the league by far. Gerhart is the steal of the draft period. 6ft 231 lbs with 4.53 speed in the 40. The total package indeed.
If we don't go Spiller in the first we should take Gerhart in the second.
Pete Carrol could as he tried to recruit him at USC wanted to make him into a fullback and he ended up running all over them. CA's all time high school rushing leader
Toby is the real deal has excelled at every level and is a smart runner and as hard a worker as anyone.

Geez..seriously. We have more pressing needs than RB. Not everything can, or should, be addressed through free agency. I'd like to see our defense get better and younger (NT, ILB, FS). WR and TE are also bigger needs than RB. If we take a RB in the 1st or 2nd rounds, I'll scream.
If Gerheart is available in the third take him HANDS DOWN. Not to often you see a white rb, there usaly fb's, but with his 4.5 speed and his toughness and hands yes he, I feel he could be a GREAT asset. I feel his is top 3 rb's this year draft. I hope we trade Brown, for either Marshall, or Johnson, and pick up this guy, as well as LT for a year, or two.

Come on Mike. The guy just made a point.There are very few white running backs in the NFL. That's not racist, that's just a fact. There's no extra anything for it, just fact. So big deal, let it be.
Well Mike you asked! Brownie's plural form is Brownie's, yet Brownie's is a spelling of female Cub-scout counterparts, or the treat that you eat. The term Browning is used as YOU intended, yet you seemed to type Brownie instead?? I could be wrong so Phinsfan, you seem to be good at punctuation! If you could please help myself and Mike0 to better serve his question.

Sorry Leon, but Mia1 appeared to use the fact that this guy is white as a reasoning for us to draft him. I don't know about you, but to me that's a racist remark.
If one of the the FIRST things you think and speak of of while talking about a player is his RACE.....then the person speaking is a racist!!!
It's comments like that which got Rush Limbaugh fired. RACE has nothing to do with sports. You can either play or you can't. That's all anyone cares about. When you bring RACE into it, your a racist!
No offense montequi but where in this comment does he suggest drafting him b/c of his race? His draft suggestion was based on 4.5 speed, toughness, and hands. He merely mentioned that a white rb is rare in the league...which is true.

I win ALOT of argurments, just nobody wants to acknowledge them. Like when I said Vince Wilfork would be franchised and he would be paid around $6-7 mill for the year. And he was. There were people here saynig he was gonna make $12 mill franchised. EVERYONE GOT REAL QUIET WHEN I WON THAT DEBATE!! Just one of many examples...we could go on and on
On to this.....how many racist comments must be made before we can call someone a racist?? Just curious. I mean Don Imus said NAPPY HEADED HO's and was fired from NBC and CBS. He was a racist. Rush said his racist comment on ESPN and was FIRED. Jimmy the Greek said his and was fired. It seems like to me, in our civilization only 1 racist comment makes you a racist.
Please tell me what your handbook says though.....how many racist comments must be made before someone is considered a racist. I really am curious.
Look...we were asked to knock off the back and forth b.s and I have have done that but I have read at least 3 posts since then with you calling me a racist and I am not going to keep letting it slide without a response.
You can't seem to get along with anyone on this site and I have a problem with no one but you. You fight daily with at least 5 people on this board so just where does the problem stem from I wonder.
Making a statement about needing to speak Spanish in Miami is not racist. It's a fact. Over 65% of the people in the Miami area speak Spanish. Big deal. I said nothing derogatory about the Spanish or any other ethnic group. When I looked for a job in Miami, about 80% of the employers required you to speak Spanish or you would not even be considered.
Saying "you can't get a cab in France if you don't speak French"...is not racist.
You want to whine and cry about name calling and it is you that is starting it ONCE AGAIN.
I know you probably think of me a lot but keep my name out of your posts and I will continue to ignore yours and everything will be fine. I am, here to talk Dolphin football.
Well we disagree on this. Pretty much everything you said I disagree with. I think we can just agree to disagree and not go in circles because this has nothing to do with football and I come here to talk football as we all do at the end of the day.
But I would like to see the racist slurs, ethnic slurs, and handicapped jokes stopped on this site. No need for that kind of stuff.
