If people are going to vote for a RB, the easiest choice is probably Gado. How the hell Williams is getting votes is a mystery, but I suspect is has something to do with stupid people.

:yay Way to be.

I'll bet Joe Theisman and crew are sitting at home and are voting for Gado and clearing their caches over and over again, while beating off. They were slobbing Gado almost as much as Farve the entire broadcast, which is especially great when the guy isn't on the field doing anything at the moment, and they keep yacking on and on about him instead of talking up the game.

It's more because he had 112 yards and 2 touchdowns as the main offensive weapon for a team that went on the road in December to knock off the team that was one game ahead of them in the divisional standings.  That's just a tad more important of an effort by a rookie than a guy running for 170 yards and a touchdown in a meaningless game against a team who fired their coach a couple weeks ago and has one of the worst rushing defenses in the NFL.  I guess if you're a stupid person and just look at the stats without considering the context, you might not be able to comprehend why Williams' effort this week is deserving of recognition.

Ryan Moats will break all of our hearts. If he is as good as we hope he is he'll never be used right. If he isn't as good as we hope he is, he'll never be used right. He's a running back on the Eagles.

Yes, he had himself a nice little week against a defense that has shut down such powerhouses as Arizona, Detroit, and Buffalo. And they held Dunn to a mere 5 yards a carry when they played Atlanta. I am now more impressed by  his 112 yard performance than the performance of any other rookie this week.

so true, yet sad at the same time.
