TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted November 24, 2009 I don't know where else I should ask this question so here it is: What are the scouts saying about Toby Gerhart? He looks great running the ball in college. 6 foot, 237 pound RB from Stanford. Seems to be able to pass and catch. Anyone hearing anything about this guy?

Highway Robbery 0 Posted November 25, 2009 I'd compare him to a Peyton Hillis type RB. I don't see him ever developing into a John Riggins type RB. He might even be the next Tommy Vardell, a fellow Cardinal alum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted November 25, 2009 I'd compare him to a Peyton Hillis type RB. I don't see him ever developing into a John Riggins type RB. He might even be the next Tommy Vardell, a fellow Cardinal alum. I see him more as a Jacob Hester/Brian Leonard type runner....maybe Craig James if he's drafted by the right team.

XRage 0 Posted November 25, 2009 He's a great player. He is an absolute load to bring down but is not going to run away from too many people. I think he can be a workhorse runningback at the next level but is probably best paired with a speedy complementary back. Unfortunately he will probably get pigeonholed into the FB position because he is white. To quote somebody else: ".......the stereotype is that whites can't run. or jump. or catch. or elude. or do anything other than block, kick, or throw." Watch him run all over Notre Dame's defense this weekend. You'll be impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Leo 16 Posted November 26, 2009 Awesome player. He should be a top contender for the Heisman. ...why is is being compared to "white" RBs only? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drizzay 646 Posted November 26, 2009 Awesome player. He should be a top contender for the Heisman. ...why is is being compared to "white" RBs only? Um, because he is a white RB. Is your sense of humor not working today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XRage 0 Posted November 29, 2009 I hope you guys watched him shred Notre Dame's defense tonight. The guy is a player and has a very legitimate argument for the Heisman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,592 Posted November 29, 2009 I love that every comparison in sports is always race related, no matter what. When Jamarcus Russell came out people asked was he more like Randall Cunningham or Steve Mcnair. When its obvious he should have been compared to Ryan Leaf After watching the game today I am gonna say the Gerhart reminds me of Lorenzo White. there I broke the stereotype, a White RB can now be compared to a running back named White Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
