Toby Gerhart leaving Stanford for NFL draft

[Sam Odom]

Will he be another Jim Kiick , Larry Csonka or BUST ?

Sorry to say , Bust

[Terrapin Station]

i think he's vastly overrated, but i don't think he'll be a bust. glad to see him leave stanford though.

[Busterflywheel]

Toby reminds me of Mike Allscott for Tampa Bay back in their S.B days

[Sam Odom]

He could do well on a team with a good O Line , then again any NFL quality back could. He will get beat-up badly otherwise.

[Enogsiwon]

will NOT be a bust..

has balance like no other.. and tough

[bettilimbroke999]

He'll be a huge bust in the NFL, hugely overrated player against the joke shit 10 defenses this year

[RPP]

He was smart to leave. His stock wont get any higher.

[BobHarvey]

He'll be an All-Pro within three years.

[tblues2005]

I think he may turn out to be good.

[The Seer]

He'll be an All-Pro within three years.

I will take that bet. Good is one thing, All-pro is another.

[Deuce]

Timone Biankabatooka

He'll be an All-Pro within three years.

not a fukking chance. he's smart and tough, he'll be a solid player...no way he's an all-pro caliber guy.

[LLXC]

He needs to absolutely SHINE at the combine to get drafted anywhere higher than the 3rd/4th round...

I can't see him running a 4.5 so I don't think it will happen.

[jon13009]

All depends on the team that drafts him, regardless of where he gets drafted.

Your right. And how about the other Stanford back in the early 90's, "Touchdown" Tommy Vardell. Fast, agile backs have success in this league. He'll have to be utilized in other capacities.

[jram68]

you are insane if you think he is overrated. This dude is UNDERRATED! Teams passing on this guy in the draft will be sorry. He will b at least as successful as jonathan stewart.

[goblue12]

For those who don't pay attention to the draft one bit, of course he is going to be considered a bust. But most draft experts will tell you he never was anything more than a 3rd round pick at best thanks to his speed.

[PingPong]

he's a bigger faster version of jacob hester

[investor]

wasn't it his last year anyways? where else would he go?

[wookieehumper]

He's a white running back. No way he does well in the pros.

[Jimmy0607]

Next Mike Alstott

[smitch124]

wasn't it his last year anyways? where else would he go?

He did redshirt Freshman year. Although he has graduated, he had one year of eligibility left.

[BigdaddyQH]

He will have some success in the NFL, but unless he goes to a great team, he will not be Pro Bowl Caliber. Gerhart wasw alwasy leaving Stanford after this season. Why is this such a shock to everyone. He was even listed as a senior this past season.

[blueghost]

i think kansas city would be a good choice 10 -12 carries a game and would be a great blocking back also a great goalline back

[ericc]

where is Gerhart listed in the mock drafts?

[BollWeeble]

cant blame him..injury prone running style

[bettilimbroke999]

He's a white running back. No way he does well in the pros.

Good point, betting against a white running back is kind of like taking the No on do you think this lottery ticket will be a winner

[HoldEmHook!!]

Will be interesting to see how it turns out

[mmike032]

doesnt matter.
he will be on a roster for at least 3 yrs and make more than 100% of the posters on this board.

[steviec413]

i like him #1

[ZBOIZ]

He will be a good back. Not great but good

[seaborneq]

He will get mauled like all the other average running backs.

[moses millsap]

he will be an awesome nfl player, book it

[Busterflywheel]

why does white play a role?
