Re: Should the Colts trade James?
In 2001, Dominic Rhodes started 10 games in James' absence.
He had 4 100 yard rushing games, including a 177 yard day.
He scored nine touchdowns.
He had 1107 total yards and a 4.7 y/rush average.
The fact is that most "average" running backs will do well on a good offensive team like the Colts, especially one with a good line. Check out Derrick Blaylock (KC), Reuben Droughns (Den), and Chester Taylor (Bal) last year for three examples. Studs? Hardly. But they put up good numbers.
The Colts could use some playmakers on the D side of the ball, and advance past the second round.
