Darren Sproles - Topic profile

I have LaDainian Tomlinson, Jamal Lewis and Edgerrin James as my other RBs. Should I get rid of Rudi (who may or may not be traded from CIN) and pick up Darren Sproles as insurance in case LT gets hurt?

I love this guy! Anyone else watch him on Monday Night? He looked frickin amazing. He looks like a little kid next to the other players on the field though, but that don't stop him from running right through, or around them. Future name to remember. Darren Sproles! Getting your nuts squeezed is not one of life's great thrills!

$900.......................

Not sure he could take the beating, but I think he has the talent.

300.............

Hey, i'm no charger fan, but just from watching their game tonight against the Seahawks, Darren Sproles looks outstanding.. He seems to always make the first person miss, and once he gets to the second level, he appears to be one of the most difficult backs in the league to be tackled. If he continues to play like he is, he very well could be the next great San Diego backup to get a fat FA deal...

He's lighting up Seattle's 1st team D on MNF. He's ripping off runs of 20+ yards. He's tiny but he's the goods. Meanwhile Cadillac is still in the shop.

"Running back Darren Sproles’ knee was a bit swollen after colliding with a Rams defender Saturday night while returning a punt, but there was no structural damage and Sproles didn’t miss a beat in practice." glad to hear that!

I replied to a topic like this, but decided to post it in it's own thread. He's a FA next year- what would you think of signing him? He's young, he's the scat back and speed guy Calhoun and Bell were supposed to be, I'm sure his contract won't be like Turners(who was a little more proven) probably an average contract 2-3 mill. Kevin Smith and Darren Sproles would be great ...

If I remember correctly, Sproles signed a 4 year contract as a rookie. So that mean he should become an Unrestricted Free Agent after this year. It'll be interesting to see what kind of bids he'll receive next year and/or if a team offers him a job as their starting RB.

sproles was an absolute beast in college. i was very high on him. i wish we took him. said so at the time. our other backs (smith and darby) do not compare. nothing in their past and nothing in their present gives any reason to think they are as good as sproles. i wish him well. of course, michael bennett is the beast of the runners on this team...oh, if only coach knew that...

I am stoked about the season and what our entire team is capable of doing this year... It will be a fun one I agree about LT and reducing carries. However I think it is the natural evolution of the offense. Last year we had more because we relied on the run quite a bit but once Philip grasped the passing game, our carries went down but were more productive. This year we should see ...
