Lewis or Barlow?
« on: Apr 30th, 2003, 12:52pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify Remove Remove
With the 49ers saying that Barlow will be the starting tailback next year, and the rumors flying aroung about Hearst being a cap casualty June 1st, Barlow's stock has really gone up. I have both Jamal lewis and Barlow but can only keep one. Lewis had a very good year last year and the second year back after a knee injury is always better. I think Barlow plays in a better offense though and could really put up huge numbers this year.
What do you guys think?

I think that Lewis is the better keeper.
 
SF still has a weak defense, so they'll be passing a lot to keep games close.  Plus Barlow hasn't put up big numbers yet.  Sure, we've all seen the potential, but until he actually does it...
 
Baltimore has questions at QB, so look for Billick to count heavily on a RB he has full faith in.  Baltimore should also have a very nice defense next year, which will keep the Raven offense on the field more.
 
I think this is a pretty easy decision.

Jamal Lewis...  It is not even close!  And, what if Hearst is NOT cut after June 1st, which I still think is a very distinct possibility, offseason rhetoric aside?

I would have to agree with the masses, Lewis destroys Barlow at this point.

Really can't justify keeping Barlow at this point.  Even if Barlow is named the starter, the niners have a recent history of rotating backs.  Beasley's been getting a whole lotta carries this last year.  Until we see the plan in Weeks 1 and 2, Barlow really shouldn't be above Lewis.
 
But if he does get 100% of the work... woooah nelly!

WOW! Looks like people like Lewis as much as I do. Just thought I would throw it out there to stir up some talk.

Going into next year with Lewis as my #1. Why? Because I have faith that he will be back to form this year. I really liked the guy when he came into the league. Look for a window, as Steg likes to call them, of between 1350-1550 yards and 11 tds.  
 
No, I have not been   either...

I always have to take the proven guy over the "unproven guy who COULD be good. Too many "can't miss" players turn out to be busts. I think Hearst will take a salary cut and stay in SF, further meddling the situation.
