Michael Turner cut = Good value for jaquizz rogers

[Otters27]

might be a good pick up next year

[Grits n' Gravy]

Atlanta will pick up a bigger back to replace Turner. Rogers is a nice back and runs tougher than his size but isn't suited for 20-25 touches a game against NFL defenses.

[Wrigley]

I think Rogers can handle the number one spot be intersting to see atlantas next move

[Easy-Rider 66]

Good move by ATL in cutting Turner. Would think they bring in a new back to help Rodgers carry the rock.

[oiler]

well knew it was coming,losing time last year

[Straight Cash]

Gotta think they'll draft a RB to replace Turner. I dont think Rodgers will have the durability to handle a full season by himself.

[opie1988]

Saw Quizz play once in a Texas high school state championship game. Kid was a compete fukkin beast.

[easyliving]

I think Ahmad Bradshaw would be the perfect fit for Atlanta but they will likely draft a RB in the early rounds.

[makaveli66]

I'm not sure about this yet.

[ttwarrior1]

good grief, people thought he was a good pick last year, he won't be a good pick this year or any year

[convick]

Not an every down back. Maybe he"ll prove me wrong but I just don't see it.

[MexicanStallion]

It doesn't help him out much other than probably a few more carries. He really did nothing this past year when given a chance to run the ball and play more downs. Atlanta probably signs a free agent and Rogers maintains his basic backup role.

[LT Profits]

Rodgers will be the change of pace back again, this time spelling Steven Jackson

[Grits n' Gravy]

Your dumb fat ass was calling him a good pick last year.

Steven Jackson will get a long look from Atlanta and they'll definitely add a kid in draft.

[opie1988]

Exactly what I'm thinking. Not sure Quizz carries the full load here.

[Otters27]

Ya I think Jackson would be a good fit. I wonder where turner will end up?

[dudekid]

looks like SJax...although whats the point in dumping turner for sjax?? two aging RBs at the tail end of their careers....although turner was pretty bad last yr...I also read they want to target Lacy in the draft but that could be wishful thinking

[Cross]

Jaquizz will be 2nd rounder at best.

1) Money, Turner was scheduled to make 7m this year, Acquiring Jackson the Falcons will be able to structure the deal to save money.
2) Future, Turner looked awful last year and Jackson is a year younger, getting two years out of Jackson (which Turner looks wildly incapable of doing) will allow the Falcons to spend a midround pick on a back or to look around next years FAs
3) Style, Turner is useless in the passing game, He set career highs with 19 catches and 1 recTD last year, Jackson has caught over 40 per year the last 3. The falcons offense, as run, needs a back capable of catching passes especially if Gonzales retires.
4) Draft, Jackson allows them to spend early picks on defense, which with cutting Abraham from and already bad defense is desperately needed

[gryfyn1]

Jaquizz will be 2nd rounder at best.

Jaquizz will be a Flex player on a bad team at best, unless your in a 40 team league Jaquizz shouldn't even be considered in the 2nd round

[LT Profits]

And that's that. Unless your league has individual kick returners.

[EmpireMaker]

What teams, if any, do you guys think Turner would be productive on this year?

[Cross]

Maybe the Lions?

[me-first]

Jackson a definite improvement over Turner, should have 1 or 2 good years left..he's definitely lost some speed but runs harder than ever..

[LT Profits]

I think Turner is done, he has been running in slow motion for almost two years now.

[Mitchell88]

There is no way that Rodgers get enough touches to be a good p/u this year. He just wont see the field enough

[Wrigley]

Rodgers will be the number one guy in atlanta and will surpise many

[WvGambler]

I don't see Jackson as an improvement I love the guy, but he's no better at this point than Turner. I hope he proves me wrong, because the guys been fun to watch in the past. They've both lost more than a step.

Jackson is not what he was but he was still a lot better than Turner was last season.

[WvGambler]

Yes he was. I'm just saying there's isn't much, if anything, that separates them ability wise.

[Otters27]

Turner is done and Jackson will be a beast for ATL next year. lots of goal line rushes

[oiler]

still dont think he will be there star back think rodgers is the man

[Grits n' Gravy]

Jackson will put up big numbers. Still has pop in his legs.

[Andy117]

Jackson will put up big numbers. Still has pop in his legs.

He'll be better than Turner, too many nagging injuries though. I've had him a few times in the last few years, always misses time for muscle pulls.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Jackson will put up big numbers. Still has pop in his legs.

Agreed. Jackson still has some pop to his game. Turner is too slow.
