WHo'd you like? Who has the better career?

[Jake]

For me it's Gardner, but not by much. Just like his "bruising" style a little better.

[aholbert]

I like Canada better but I think Gardner has the better career. My scout has Canada as the more explosive runner, better receiver, and better blocker.


I just think Gardner is going in to the better situation.

[Bigsmooth]

I kind of like Canada better, however, Gardner looks like he could also be a stud punt returner.

[Guest]

Well gee, I wonder who I like?

I faced this same situation in the DFL and I took the lower rated runner over the big stud.

Now, everyone in the DFL knows who "Senator" Dole is: All League ROY, All League first team running back three years running.

If I get anything close to that with "Oh" Canada, then I'm pretty content!

[Guest]

Oh btw, I don't think the Red Dogs will be fixed anytime soon. ..

it's a long haul rebuilding project. . .heck, I don't even have a rt on the roster. . ..


yet.

[outkast44]

I am partial toward the big bruising style power runners, so I like Gardner but Canada looks like a stud as well.

[Guest]

Gardner > Canada > Hanson ------ pretty equal difference --- Gardner will be good but his volatility is a little scary ---- Canada much safer pick but none of the 3 were great value picks (but what do I know given my record)

Week 1

Canada (vs Brooklyn)
14 rushes for 60 yards - 0 TDs
3 catches for 14 yards - 0 TDs
74 Total Yards
Injured - 2 Weeks

Gardner (@ Lake County)
26 rushes for 103 yards - 0 TDs
10 catches for 64 yards - 0 TDs
167 Total Yards - 0 TDs

Neither player could do enough to carry his team to a win in Week 1. The Red Dogs got doubled up by Brooklyn, while the Mechnics lost to Lake County in OT.

Canada suffered a minor ankle injury in the 2nd Quarter, but continued to play showing his toughness to the hometown crowd.

Gardner silenced a lot of critics who said he would not be a factor in Motor City's short passing offense and would likely lose 3rd Down passing plays to Artie Mayes. Gardner responded with 10 catches (on 10 targets).

[Jake]

I don't know if anyone caught it, but Greta did a list of her top running backs in I think week 5 of the preseason. She had Gardner over Canada but both in the top 10. From what I understand, her rankings are based off of actual ratings(?).

I did notice that. I think they are going to have very similar and very solid careers. How they are viewed will likely all center around who puts a winner around them first.

Roman Graham!
12 rushes for 50 yards - 2 TDs
2 catches for 23 yards - O TDs
73 Total Yards - 2 TDs

Ahh damn. Any way to see that list?

4 games - 25% into their Rookie Seasons and these guys look like they could be battling for their entire careers!!

[Guest]

I'm looking forward to the first full game with Canada not hobbled by a twisted ankle and diminished p.t.

You can't know how looking forward to it I am. ..0-4 but competitive as hell.
