You can only keep one Dwyer or Mendenhall, who is it?

    I've been so impressed with Dwyer I do believe he is more the type of back we need. He can be a game changer/clock killer. I felt he was benched too early a few weeks back after a fumble. What are your thoughts.

    I really like Dwyer though. I said in a post before the season that Dwyer would be the starter by mid-season, regardless of Mendy's health. We shall see.

    Well regardless of what happens it looks like Isaac Redman will be the odd man out come end of the season.

    I will say this...its a good "problem" to have. I like both Mendy and Dwyer myself...nothing against Redman or anything.

    I think Dwyer is becoming a fan fave but I think Mendy is a Tomlin fave and that's gonna make the difference. I don't think we're gonna get rid of Mendy for Dwyer but I personally like Dwyer better though. I wanna see Mendy come back and play consistently in Haley's offense and then we'll know for sure.

    Why pick one? This is the first time in a long time we not only have 1, not 2 but 3 good RBs. Get them all healthy, get Adams on the line or not looked good today, keep the passing game strong... :clapping: :yeehaw:

    But if I have to pick...Dwyer. I just like the straight forward bulldozer type RB.

    Bradshaw wants Jonathan "Dyer". Did anyone else hear him call him that?

    I did. LOL. They were trying to tell him it's "dwyer" and he just kept talking. I thought it was funny too.

    I graduated high school with Jon Dwyer at Kell High School near Atlanta Ga. I am really impressed so far. It will be interesting to see how he does against the defenses like Baltimore and the Giants. I think its to early to tell whether to keep both or just Dwyer. Time will tell.

    Figure out a way to keep both, would be a potent combo.

    No, the point is we're dealing w/ two, count em, two NFL starting caliber RBs.

    Been posting this a long time, against the wave so to speak, but Redman an NFL starter he is not. He's a keeper in the sense that he's that one of guy that can come in for that extremely hard 3 yrds and get it. Just don't follow it up with another run after that cuz he's exhausted. Not a starter but a one off guy.

    Mendy is elite, use him in tandem w/ a real power back like Dwyer and you'll see both rise to new heights.

    They're all keepers
