Not sure if I missed a previous thread about this but thought it was worth mentioning. He was a beast and is the current TB record holder with 71 TDs. Before anyone else says it, he still didn't score on that 4th down play.

Yeah he will be missed in Tampa Bay, but not around here. And I agree, he didn't score lol. He's burned us enough times over the years so I'm not gonna be missing him.

He was so overrated.

Re: Six-time Pro Bowler Alstott retires after 12 seasons
 

agreed. good luck to him. too bad his last few years were injury riddled...
very much a menace when he played us....didn't he score the touchdown that wasn't?

haha yupp he never scored that game.

He wasn't in....I still have nightmares about that game

Guy sucks. I mean six probowls is great, but it took him 12 years to do it. I meaan seriously like what was he doing the other six years.

In all seriousness this is a smart move on his part. Looking at all the guys that hang around to long you start to see a trend of guys that can't manage themselves physically, not to mention emotionally. I'll never blame a guy for calling it quits when it comes to football.

Agreed any player can get a 2 yard TD.

I really enjoyed watching him run people over, but I hated to play against him. I wish we could get Mike Sellers moving like him. He's already a beast, but I don't think he gets the carries he deserves. P.S, don't throw Sellers the ball....he don't like to catch them.

i would take sellers over alstott anyday

Re: Six-time Pro Bowler Alstott retires after 12 seasons
 

Alstott in his prime was great and bashing through people, if Sellers continuse to get better Id love to see him start going to come pro bowls for bashing through people.

That bring up an interesting question for me. Now that Gibbs is gone, odds are we are goign to run a new offense, so no more h-back. The only reason i say that is because cooley was listed as a full back two years ago for the probowl ballet and then this year as a TE. Seems like the voting for Skins is unfar because our players dont fill traditional roles. Mabye Sellers will get more votes next year now.

Then again who knows what his role will be under the next coach

hey, skinscanes. where the heck have you been? stick around awhile, will you?

Re: Six-time Pro Bowler Alstott retires after 12 seasons
 

and the people that say Alstott was over rated make me laugh. he was basically Riggins of now-a-days. i would have loved to have had him in his prime. if he played for the skins, some would be touting him for the hall.

Re: Six-time Pro Bowler Alstott retires after 12 seasons
 

I can't hear his name without thinking of his invisible, yet extra-long elbow. It's a shame, he was a good FB. I remember him in his Purdue days too, but since that bad call, that's all I can think about whenever he's mentioned.

Stupid ref.

Re: Six-time Pro Bowler Alstott retires after 12 seasons
 

Traditionally players exceed pro bowl expectations than make it the year after, hense sean taylor in 05 than in 06, his first pro bowl. Sellers was a first alternate this year, i bet he goes next year, should have gone this year but its all good. I feel portis also gets snubbed for the pro bowl too, in 05 and this year. Pro bowl is just a popularity contest..
