I gave you the original thumbs up  , because I've had my eye on Derrick Ward since the draft as well. He played at a tiny school no one has ever heard of (Ottawa, KS), but did very well and graded out well and has ideal NFL size (5'11" - 230#). I was hoping that the Jets would resolve their RB issues (i.e., dealing LaMont Jordan) and that Ward would become heir apparent there.
But then the Giants made the move for him and, ideally, he would step into the role that was created for Ron Dayne (goal-line, 3rd-short) at the beginning of the season. However, Tiki is delivering in nearly all aspects of the game right now, so Ward isn't going to have much immediate value.
The reason I posted the line that it would be hard to get Tiki off the field was in relation to the fact that you said "Apparently Coughlin is fed up w/ Dayne and Ward will take over his RB duties." I thought my observation related directly to that statement.
I'm not quite sure why you felt the need to get defensive after I gave you props for a good post (which is what I thought I was doing with the smiley), but do what you will...

I don't think your trying to BEE a smart ass so, np prob there at all.
But your the 2ND person that has somehow totally IGNORED my first sentence in which I clearly made emphasis to a DEEP KEEPER OR DYNASTY league.
Once again, I ask, what does getting Tiki off the field "RIGHT NOW" have to do with this thread?
And no Philster, I apologize if I seemed BEEfensive but, I just want to make clear again, my post was meant for the FUTURE and NOT right now, hence the deep keeper/dynasty portion.
The Dayne comparison was taken from an article I read, not my opinion. Even so, Dayne was never an option to replace Tiki - I am still clueless to the relation of Ward as a potential LONG TERM sleeper RB to getting Tiki off the field "right now".
By the way, THANKS for the thumbs up!!!! Yah, I remember drafting this guy in "our" rookie draft that you shaped up early on in the offseason here on the grid so, I've kept my eyes on him to. Glad you approve as well - and I hope we are both right about his potential talents!

I don't agree with your assumption of his value. But that may be my FF inexperience showing through since, I only believe in playing for dynasty/deep keeper leagues in which one could evaluate not only for the short term but also for the long term.
Also, once again, according to the article I read which I thought was authentic, (there again my subjective opinion on authenicty of some NFL reports) the plan was for him to replace Dayne.
I believe Dayne was drafted in most leagues on the net. Therefore, a player taking over for another player who was drafted in most leagues would have value - would he not?
I am trying to cater to "most" leagues with my thoughts and not trying to BEE close minded.
