I think he's a lot better than that.
I'm a big Emmitt Smith fan from his days with the Gators and, as a Cowboy, his view was that the standard for a great back shouldn't be 1000 yards (which is only 62.5 yards per game over 16 games) but should be 1600 yards (or 100 yards per game). The question about Cadillac now isn't ability -- it's durability. This kid put up over 1100 yards last year while missing two games and being seriously impaired in two or three others. If he can stay healthy for 17 weeks there's no question in my mind that he can put up numbers in the LaDanian Tomlinson/Shaun Alexander/Tiki Barber class.
If Carnell can prove that his injury was a fluke last year he'll jump to the front of the pack of young backs ahead of Stephen Jackson and Larry Johnson. I'm looking for him to establish himself as the heir apparent to Alexander and Barber in the NFC and become a perennial Pro Bowl guy.

Cadillac will have the best season about 1100 yards.

to me it seems like every off-season gets longer and longer so i thought,
instead of sitting back and reading spam coming
from this group i figured i would ask the first question of the season
..

season?
simms? cadillac? galloway? clayton? who?
what offensive player will have a breakout
year ?
