Addai is a fantastic back, what issues do you see with him?

Is it the 1,000 yards on the ground? The nearly 5 yard per carry average? The 8 touchdowns?

He is a stud my friend.

I wouldn't get carried away. 1000 yds is no big deal in the NFL. I think i heard the other day that a record-tying 23 backs surpassed that mark this season. Addai does seem like a good player, but it's too early to call him a 'stud'.

It is when you didn't even start till 3/4 of the way through the season. He only carried like 220 times, 1k yards from that is stellar.

You're right that it is early to annoint him, but as a rookie you can't do much better.

Yea, I don't like Viniteiri in any uniform other than a NE one - the guy is good.

Although I have to say they made the right call - they had to do what they had to do, payroll-wise. This new kid Gotskowski seems to have it wired up pretty good also. . . although he's no "Mister Clutch". . . not yet anyway. I think he can do it if he's called upon.

I just love the playoffs! A boring blow-out is NOT in the cards with this one. Possibly the two best QB's in the nation squaring off...I'll be tuned in.

Shuie quote:

"Joseph Addai is a freak. There is a good reason Marshall Faulk was released after he was drafted."

I was speaking to the quote that Faulk was released for Addai?? Faulk has never been released?? Faulk left the Colts in 98, when did Addai start - Straighten me out as I am confused??

I dont know if one year makes him a stud.

Shuie obviously has confused James and Faulk.

He just got the name wrong, he meant Edgerin James...not Faulk. Probably brain freeze

I can't stand either team. Come on Saints!

"Brady/Belichik are 12-1 in post season playoff games"

What does that have to do with anything? They are both pretty good teams to make it this far, I can't see it being other than 50-50 save any home field advantage. Play the game.
