byroan said:That's not what I read in a NFL magazine today. I can't remember which one it was but it said McGahee still has a higher injury chance then other RB's. They said the risk of McGahee is high while his reward is also high. I fail to believe that someone who's had McGahee's problem is back to 100% normal like nothing happened.

1. Ricky's problems are offset by the presence of Ronnie and the fact that Travis Henry has stated that he will never take another snap for the Bills ever again. At this point, I give Ricky a higher chance of appearing on the field than Travis...and when at full speed, Ricky is far more talented than Travis Henry.
2. That gruesome knee injury will always stay in the back of personnel peoples' minds with Willis McGahee. The chances are it will eventually come back to haunt him.
It's a tough question. Draft a nut job with all the talent in the world who SAYS he wants to play for you for at least 2 more seasons, and a rookie who has never run in the NFL before but is one of the most complete backs to come out since maybe Marshall Faulk with the best size/speed combo to come out since Jamal Lewis...
Or, draft a standup character in Travis Henry who is a pretty good runningback when running at full speed but who SAYS he will never play a snap for you again, and a second year pro who has gained 1000 yards over a 12 game stretch but who has the spectre of a horribly gruesome knee injury in the past...
VERY tough decision. If Travis Henry released a statement tomorrow saying ok, I'll play for the Bills if they don't trade me, I'll share time with McGahee, etc...then you'd probably take Henry and McGahee just because Ricky Williams is a nutcase.
But looking at their sheer compatibility, having Ricky & Ronnie gives you a better likelihood at achieving the best possible results while utilizing both runningbacks because their styles can compliment each other. With Travis & Willis, you basically are better off using one back at a time, and so at all times, one of them will be sitting on the bench or not getting used much. If Travis eats too much into Willis' playing time you won't get the most out of Willis...and the same is true the other way around. However, Ronnie at least, has shown that he can be used as a part timer and still gain a LOT of yards, catching and running.
But Ricky is a nut job. So, I guess you take the good depth over a dynamic duo.
definately the bills backs are better than ours, could change quickly !!!Junoir 61503 said:I was just wondering which duo is actually better right now?Who would you take to start the season?
Travis Henry was a cancer in the locker room after being benched and can not tell the difference between a 14 yr old female and an 18yr old female, so calling him a standup character guy is questionable.
