Could Terrance Ganaway Have Arian Foster Upside?

[RotoViz]

Hey guy,

thought you might be interested in an article on our site related to the backfield. http://rotoviz.com/index.php/2013/0...art-1-terrance-ganaway-the-next-arian-foster/

We're not 100% sure the Rams won't take a running back, but we also do like Ganaway a lot.

Good read - and I've got to agree with you - I think Ganaway IS going to be an efective part of this Rams team

i like what Ganaway brings to the table, the season, w/o SJ, will be interest as to who becomes our feature back. Or if we have a feature back
train

That was a good read!

Just reading my crystal ball here.

I believe Ganaway was a great sign, stash and coach up for a year and turn his arse lose in 2013.

He will play a very good role in 2013

That's what I think too. That's why I'm not really worried about the RB situation this year.
Pretty sure Pead is gonna bust onto the scene as well - despite the criticisms that he *hasn't shown anything yet*.

It's a fair criticism IMO. We don't know what we have at the RB position, that could be a positive as much as a negative if these guys step up when given the chance.

Yeah pretty well if you are thinking "draft a back" whover it is NEEDS to be a clear upgrade over Ganaway or a late round 5th on down BPA pick, IF BPA even applies that late in the draft.

It's all about preseason for him I believe. He's got to perform well. I don't see Pead or D Rich going anywhere, and what if we draft Lacy, Lattimore, etc. I think RB could be a very interesting position in preseason.

 

[CGI_Ram]

I think the Rams have options at RB and we won't draft one early.

Like the Dude, I'm comfortable.

Well, the jury is definitely still out since we have no evidence. I'm hoping he "shocks the world" but I will choose to be judiciously cautious and hope the Rams go RB in the middle rounds. Worse case scenario, we hide a RB on the roster again this year.

I have been in Ganaway's corner since before he was drafted. Just liked his skill set. Has better speed than his time shows and runs with power. Fisher didn't stash him on the active roster for no reason last yr. He did that to protect him from getting snatched away.

If they do draft another RB this yr, I see it as still being a "stable" of backs. Fisher has always done that. I believe the true "competition" this yr will be between Pead and Richardson. They are just two similar of players.

I was kind of surprised by how much power lil Richardson has. For a small dude, he can explode through a gap and carry a couple of much bigger guys with him. He doesn't do it all the time, but I've seen it happen. I like how he runs with such determination. Doesn't really ever seem to hesitate.

I may get blasted for this...But I've missed the Rams not having break away home run speed for quite a while.

I see a "stable" of backs ... with the ability and option to throw it at you anyway you like it served up

Yeah, you're not alone.

I don't want to draft one, I want to see what this kid can do, and I think he can be very good. Lets stock up on other positions.

 

[BatteringRambo]

I still have to scratch my head its puzzling why he was outright released so soon. I've seen the comments by Jets Org, regardless I don't get it. However, I am very happy he's wearing the Horns and will have an equal opportunity.

I think Fish/Snead knew once the void option was given to Jackson he was likely gone and we picked up Ganaway as a viable to add in the mix. Idk about the next 'Arian Foster' like Quick is to be the next 'Vincent Jackson'. I cant make those comparisons or even remotely agree.

TG will have an equal opportunity and for that I think we're set w/ who we have. Now that doesn't rule out a RB in the draft but not early.

If at all I could see Lattimore, Ellington, or Stepfan Taylor.
Do we keep this current 3 on active, or up to 4 if we drafted another?
Very interesting on what will unfold.

This is where coaches and FO types earn their dough. Do the RAMS have the horses necessary on their current roster or do they go fishing in this year's draft? If the trio of Pead, Richardson and The Sandwich King can make their mark then we can use the draft picks on other positions.

For once, preseason may be really interesting because of our 3 relative unknown running backs.

On a personal level, our 3 RBs seem like good guys so it would great to see them do well.
