Peyton Hillis

[Biggems]

Hillis is in Denver.....I mean Tyson Thompson could be a stud in Denver....but with that being said...Hillis is playing quite well up there. He is showing to be a tough and productive runner these past few weeks.

He doesn't know. That's the worst player assessment I've ever read. SCHMITT is the most versatile FB to come out in years, not Hillis. He's the nastiest blocker, a tremendous receiver out of the backfield (and lined up at TE). The guy can even punt for crissakes. Oh yeah, he can run too. He's got a top gear that is extremely rare for a man his size.

No disrespect to Hillis, as I think he's a fine FB...and wouldn't mind seeing him wear a star either, but he's not the talent that Schmitt is IMO.

just as wrong then as you are now

I thought Dallas would take Hillis :

The surprise?

I think we're going to draft Peyton Hillis, the one Arkansas RB/FB that no one has linked to us all offseason. Dallas has shown a good deal of interest in him, he's a versatile option who would fill multiple roster spots (RB, FB, ST) and can be taken rather late.

We'd still take a "speed" back too, someone like Chris Johnson who could contribute as the "complementary" back, as a receiver split out in the slot and as a kick returner.

That's it, I'm callin it.

Wow. A RB has more yards than a FB. Get out. Gotta love the convenience.

the funny thing is is the quote I have of you, Hillis does all the things you say Schmitt does

I'm just glad I don't have to hear anymore about how great and awesome Schmitt's mohawk is

Where did I say Schmitt was a better runningback? Oh yeah, I didn't. While my versatility argument is obviously shot down, it doesn't change the skillset for either player...and we're talking about a rookie season for crissakes. We haven't even gone a full season. Premature evaluators!

I still think Schmitt a better fullback, a better blocker, and as good receiving the ball.

Seeing as how Hillis is a RB right now, I don't see how this argument is even relevant....except to those that feel the need to pat themselves on the back. Like you.

I don't like to pat myself on the back per se

I just like players who get argued so vehemently against go on to prove the doubters wrong, I never had a horse in the Schmitt/Hillis race, was just tired of seeing Schmitt get overrated because he had a mohawk, and bent the shape of his facemask, so this thread was kind of gratifying

Only I never argued 'against' Schmitt. I argued for Schmitt because I think he fits our system more (with the injuries to our RB's right now I'd obvoiusly rather have Hillis. : ).

Funny thing about the people who were sick of Scmitt because he has a mohawk...I bet they're among the fans whom would welcome a little more heart on this team. Yet those characteristics are somehow a negative wehn it comes to a player fans have developed a distaste for. Go figure.

I was referring to my Chris Johnson "back patting"

he would be a nice to have right now, even with Barber and Felix healthy

I wasn't sick of the mohawk

just everyone latching onto the guy like he was the meanest SOB to ever play the game because of it
