At Seasons End Ganther or Rock Who Do You Keep?

Much of what happens at the RB position will probably depend on the health of both Betts and Portis. Their situations have to be settled one way or another to be able to determine what moves are going to be neccessary.

ganther

Don't forget about Alridge.

Mason, Rock, and Ganther are all too similar for me.

Ganther. We've replaced what Rock does with a cheaper younger tandem of DT and Ganther.

I thought it was funny how a few weeks ago I posted on one of these message boards, we should probably cut Wynn (I think) and get I think it was larry johnson or derrick brooks or chase daniels. And someone said "Ganther is the 53rd man on this roster and should be cut" I was quick to say "no this guy is good he's worth an extra look"

I was wondering who that was and what they think now, because I think honestly, this guy is the best running back we have, maybe even better than Portis (blocking is my only question I have about him)

Without a doubt, Ganther.

I LOVE how Ganther finishes runs... getting that extra 2 yards that the good pounders do.

You keep him at 15 carries a game & have a Mason, Aldridge, or 5th round pick splitting carries with him, and I think you are ok.

I have always said, do not pay big for RBs... if you have a line that can run block, you can throw Joe Schmo in there and get yardage with holes to run through.... yet we owe Portis like 10 mil next year right? so this ALL may be moot as we may be stuck w Portis & Ganther mix.

No longer a need for Cartwright or Randel El (who is COMPLETELY WORTHLESS).

Just have to point out, and I'm sure someone else will remember this and back me up, in Ganther's first play as a Redskin he picked up a blitzer and STUCK him.. I remember thinking then, hey he blocks like Portis but he must not be able to run (trying to figure out why he was FA, but I think it was mostly because he is slow... lol... you see him get run down in no time on the one play today? lol)

Regardless, he is a tough S.O.B. and will block and run hard... which will make him susceptible to injury, hence the need for him to split carries... but he can block

I really like Ganther and Rock and would love to see both of them back. My question is, can both of them hold up through an entire season? That I do not know, however I do think it is time to make some changes in our rb position.

Why is this an either or question? I understand for arguments sake, but why not keep both?
