Don't mind me...I'm just laughing at myself .....
I feel like I'm starting a crusade for this player but I think this guy has the tools and is totally underrated right now....
I've put this in other threads numerous of times but nobody has yet to reply to it. I still think this is our best scenario because we will get more bang for our buck if we do this.
Instead of everybody falling in love with the idea of Ricky Williams or Fred Taylor in our backfield (don't get me wrong because I'm infatuated with the idea also) and have to worry about shelling out big money contracts that will put strain on our cap situation down the stretch for one of them, why don't we acquire (here I go again fellas) MICHAEL PITTMAN, and then draft a RB in the first round. All mock drafts I've seen (and I've seen a lot) have DESHAUN FOSTER still available when the Fins come up on the clock.
PITTMAN is a RB that hits the holes fast and hard, is a load to bring down and is a great receiver out of the backfield. I've seen PITTMAN play quite a bit and I'm impressed with his skills. Lamar Smith can't compare to him and PITTMAN is only 24 or 25 years old (I think).
Why I think its a great scenrio for us? Because with the skills he possess, he can be had for less than a million per year (or a little over, depending on the demand). His stats are deceiving because the Cardinals have been trying to give Thomas Jones every opportunity to win the position that PITTMAN keeps beating him out for.
If we could end up with Michael Pittman, DeShaun Foster and Travis Minor as our halfbacks. Invest the bulk of our money into the offensive and defensive line during free agency and the draft, then draft for depth on both lines and and LB, then the Fins will be serious contenders for next year's Super Bowl. The kind of contenders that nobody will take seriously until the middle of the season and by the time the league notices, it will be too late, because the team will be steam rolling by then.:D
