Emmit or Stephen?

[meatpile]

I'm thinking Emmit fits the FA plan better, but Davis seems the better player.

So how much of a signing bonus do you give an RB with 8 years of hits under his belt?

Emmit would probably play for cheap if he thought that:

A: He'd be the man.
B: We had a chance to win a ring.

Will Davis? Is Davis worth a $5 million signing Bonus?

I don't have the answer. I'd rather give Davis a small bonus and a big fat salary. But I don't know how to value him.

Is Emmitt that much better than Lamar Smith right now?

Lamar is about equal to Emmitt... I want Stephen Davis... he affords us the luxury of being 9-7 rather than 7-9 and if I'm gonna get a shitty draft pick I want to at LEAST have a winning record and possibly be in the playoffs

Lamar maybe like Emmitt in current talent, But...Emmitt puts more fans in the seats, sells more jersey's, and tutors the future feature back whether his name is Foster or Fargas or someone next year.

Davis becomes the feature/future for the long term to be match with Foster or another young gun.

Texans | Davis Stopping By - posted at KFFL (http://nfl.kffl.com)
7:46 PT: John Clayton reports for ESPN.com free agent RB Stephen Davis (Redskins) will make the Houston Texans his first stop on his tour of NFL teams. He is in the process of scheduling other teams following his Tuesday visit with the Texans. The Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are among other teams interested in Davis. The Texans are in good cap shape and they could make one of the strongest offers for Davis.

Emmitt is better than Lamar any way you look at it. They are the same age and emmits wearing 3 rings and is the greatest rusher of all time.

Barry Sanders was better... Emmitt is OLDER now though I'll agree ONE of the all time greats... and his skill level is equal to Lamar's he's a year older than Lamar, and had a better support cast in the past.

I don't think he's the greatest RB, I was talking about the record he holds.

Yes. Anyday.

Just say no to Emmit. Maybe as a backup.
