Shaun Alexander: stat hog?

FRPLG · 12-25-2005, 12:47 AM

give the guy a break. there are a lot worse things he could do. the rushing title last year cost him money plus it was sort of a slap in the face towards a guy they weren't working too hard to shore up with a long term deal. looked like they didn't care about records and such which they should when they have the chance and the situation is appropriate. you like to do a good job and be recognized for it don't you? these guys are the same. cut him some slack.

They have been blowing teams out for a few weeks now and he was still in there late in games scoring tds. is there a difference?I dont think so.

well i think there is. Alexander was already taken out and then forced himself onto the field. But i think we should end this . I don't think any of us are really that upset about alexander either way. its fun to insult the NFCs favorite to snatch away my hopes of a super bowl, and in that spirit

Alexander= Bitchy stat whore

You make some good points.Honestly I dont really care, but he has had a great season and deserves to have the chance to get the record.

same here to an extent. since riggins got passed over I haven't really followed it much, lol. hopefully we will next year with portis

what about the scenario of mr alexander getting hurt trying to get a stupid record when the hawks realistically have a shot at the super bowl?think they could go all the way playing a back up running back?their back up is so good i dont know who it is

i think if you have a chance to get in the record books why not. lets just say he never gets a ring he can sure say he lead the league in rushing and in touchdowns that year. Damn let the guy have his day/year in the spotlight. If it was portis you would be put him in put him in. I mean if you wanna talk about stat hog look at rice. he stayed 20 years in the nfl and you can say he stayed to put his stats out of reach.

It's not a huge, huge deal, but Alexander would have looked like a better man for giving his main blocker Mack Strong a chance to score a TD.
