RoadLizard 73 Posted October 25, 2011 The guy had a bad game. He's a monster. He'll be back. We keep getting rold hes a monster but Im not sold. His best years yardage-wise were marred by a lack of TDs and this year with NO Mclain or McGahee to steal TDs, he STILL aint getting any. Plus, how many FF owners with Rice went into last nights game with plenty of confidence only to get screwed royally. Face it - Rice can NOT be counted on like some of the other more consistent backs out there. Hes a tier 2 RB with a LOT to prove. Granted, its not his fault that The Ravens ahve the worst offensse in the history of the NFL. Flacco sucks, the WRs suck, everyone in that organization sucks.

TimHauck 3,311 Posted October 25, 2011 lol at calling him a 2nd tier RB. even after last night's game (which was his first one this season under 15 pts) and already having his bye week he is the 7th-ranked RB in my standard scoring league. only 2 of the guys with more points than him have already had their bye week.

I supose in these 1 pt per 10 yard pinball leagues hes better - but where he was drafted and the expectations still make him somewhat of a bust. His inconsistency is a killer. Top-tier RBs dont put up goose eggs against crappy teams. Ever. If Top tier RBs have an "off" day, it means like 70-80 yards and no TDs. Not this crap. The next 4-5 weeks will show us exactly what Rice is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did have 63 total yards (not good, but not that far from "70-80"), it was just the fumble that obviously also hurt his point total. Michael Turner, currently the 5th highest scoring RB in my league, had 20 yards against Tampa. I guess he is a bust also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The next 4-5 weeks will show us exactly what Rice is. 1 pt per 10 yards....1 pt per 50 yards.....doesn't matter. He gets yards in chunks....on the ground....through the air...whatever. Like Mueller said, Rice is a league leader when it comes to yards from scrimmage. Which means he'll score more points via yardage than all other RBs, irrespective of the scoring format. But you are right about the BAL offense....Harbaugh and Cameron are idiots, and will never win anything in the NFL. Rice carried the ball 8 times...the team ran it like 12 times....in a game that was close throughout. Flacco threw it ~25 times in the first half. The Ravens didn't get a first down in the first half. There's a correlation there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I blame the scoring systems for cluding your judgement - its not all your fault. Go back and look at some of the seasons that Emmitt had, Priest Holmes, Shaun Alexander, etc, etc. Those are MONSTER seasons. Adrian Peterson is the only one this year that has been pretty much the nuts every week. Forte has 3 Total TD's in seven games. So, Im right. As usual. Noob.

TimHauck 3,311 Posted October 25, 2011 How is a 10 yards per point league a sissy league? If every RB is on the same point system isn't doesn't matter. Maybe the fact that Rice can actually catch the ball would hurt him in leagues where it's more yards per point, since in a 10 yards per point league 30 rushing yards and 30 receiving yards would be 6 points but in a 20 yards per point league it would only be 2. But you have 20 yards that he's not getting any points for, so honestly those leagues are probably more of a sissy league IMO. week 2 - 96 yards and a TD week 3 - 164 yards very mundane indeed.

I guess it doesnt matter what the point-per is.... Rice has underperformed as far as Im concerned. As Obi-Wan so eloquently stated: "Our beliefs and truths that we cling to are created due to our point of view." If hes a monster to some of you guys, then great. To me, hes solid yet unspectacular. And, with the Ravens horrificly bad offense... lets how confident you all are in a big playoff game with Rice as your last player and you needing a strong game. There are LOTS of other guys Id rather roll with than Rice. Thats all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, with the Ravens horrificly bad offense... lets how confident you all are in a big playoff game with Rice as your last player and you needing a strong game. There are LOTS of other guys Id rather roll with than Rice. Thats all. Yes, I guess you can call him "solid but unspectacular." In today's NFL that is worthy of a top 3 FF draft pick. Due to RBBC's it's tough to really compare any of today's RB's to Emmitt, Priest, etc. What other guys would you rather roll with than Rice? It sounds like you're saying Forte is unspectacular as well, so I'm curious to see who you consider to be "spectacular." Peterson was really the only other guy you mentioned, and surprise! He was drafted #1 or #2 in most leagues. Foster may be just starting to earn his own draft position. FJax has been spectacular this season but doesn't have a huge track record, although yes at this point I would take him over Rice. McCoy is probably similar to Rice. As I mentioned, Turner had a worse game against Tampa than Rice had against Jacksonville, and Rice is averaging more points per game than Turner. With McFadden's injury concerns I would not rather him than Rice. So counting Forte, with AP, Foster, Jackson, and McCoy, that's 5 guys that most sane people might take over Rice. But I drafted him 3rd OMG! You're like the guy who complains when his WR2 gets 65 yards with no TD's in a couple games when only 16 WR's had over 1,000 yards in 2010 and only 13 had over 9 TD's. So that is actually a typical week for one of the top 20 WR's in the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are LOTS of other guys Id rather roll with than Rice. Thats all. You should listen to the Jedi, because my belief is that Rice is the 7th best back in Fantasy....after having a bye and a 3 point night. I derived that conclusion by, you know, counting up the number of points he scored relative to other RBs. 7th...which means he's a RB1...unless you're playing in some goofy 4 person league. So it seems as if you're basing your beliefs purely on your perceptions, neglecting to take empirical raw data into account. Which makes you a noob. Also, back in the day....how many 4000 yard passers were there in the league? How many pure 3 down backs back then....compared to now? Apples and oranges man. Can't even compare the two eras. I think you should go back to posting as Axe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msudavedawg 5 Posted October 25, 2011 Exactly... The only thing inconsistent is the amount of oxygen getting to some of the posters' brains in this thread... He rarely finds the end zone, rarely tops 100 yards rushing and has the tendency to disappear from the Raven's offensive scheme. They even went out an signed one of the best FB in the league and shipped off his only real competition to Denver. and he is still not producing any more than last year. He's got more value in PPR, I'll give you that. But people were talking him up like the next Marshall Faulk going into 2011. He's a solid player but I stand by not taking him if I have a pick in the top half of round 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care if it's rushing or receiving, a yard is a yard. He's had 96 total yards or more in every game but last night, a game in which he received 8 carries. He is on pace for double digit touchdowns,over 2,000 total yards, and 70 catches. That seems like a good indication he doesn't "disappear" from their scheme.
