I don't doubt Foster's talent. His line might hold him back though. I think Carolina's D is on par with our O and with injuries their O is equal to our D so I see a close game...high scoring though. I too drafted him in the 12th round expecting a Davis injury. Not this early in the season though. He will sit on my bench behind Dom Davis and LT...primarily because of their O line (3 new starters.)

Let's stick to the facts. The guy averages 3.3ypc when he starts and has a career long run of 21 yards. |

I can't believe people are more worried about a guy who's carried the ball 20 times in a game twice in his career than they are about a guy who's finished in the top 5 in rushing in the NFC almost every season the last 6 seasons or so.
That's almost like thinking that we don't need McCardell because Richard Smith is ready to be a #1 WR. That one's for you, Laz. ![]() |

Foster is a slasher, who has more breakaway speed than Davis pick your poison our defense has a bad habit of giving up the big play. i would prefer a running back who is less likely to take the big play for 80 yards ... instead of taking it for 15 yrds. imo Davis is a guy designed for 5-15 yrd runs ... foster has more homerun capability. his stats are an incomplete sampling due to injury and a short career.

I think Foster's a better back than Griffin, nothing to do with stats, just having watched them play. I like Foster's size/speed combo. He better not have more yards than Griffin though, we're playing at home and they have an O-line that hasn't worked together much having to deal with the noise at Arrowhead. Also... don't forget Foster played very well in the playoffs last year. He rushed 21 times-95 yards against the Rams, 14 rushes, 60 yds against the Eagles, and 3 carries, 43 yds against the Pats in the Super Bowl. |

actually i'm undecided/indifferent on the McCardell issue would he be an upgrade? imo he would, but at what cost? first, we would have to make a trade for him ... enter carl peterson and his chitty negotiation skills. more often than not, we get screwed. we would prolly pay a uber premium in trade for McCardell second, we would prolly have to give McCardell a new contract ... enter Carl again ... how nasty would that be? how much you want to pay for a 32 year old receiver???? IMO we made the decision to not do anything in the offseason so we are probably stuck with the guys we got. i have a higher opinion of Johnny morton that most around here though too.... so ![]()

![]() Not enough carries to make an adequate assessment? That's good enough to explain away Foster's mediocre numbers? Are you sure that's not an excuse? Foster's rookie season: zero carries, zero yards, zero rushing TD's, active for ZERO games Foster's career: 116 carries, 441 yards, zero TD's, 3.8 ypc The rookie season of the biggest bust in recent Chiefs memory: 20 carries, 85 yards, 1 TD, 4.3 ypc I sense a double standard here.

Foster's "homerun capability" up to this point, is non-existent, and as I said before, he's played several bad run defenses, including Indy and Houston, who was WORSE than us last season. Quote:

Foster hasn't. I agree, he looks very good on the field. But he's not facing fresh defenses. He's facing guys that have already been subject to Stephen Davis. |

Also, I want to clarify, just in case anybody is misunderstanding.
I'm NOT saying I'm not worried about Foster. I've seen him play, I think he's got the tools. I AM saying that I think it's CRAZY to be more worried about him than it is to be worried about a 2-time NFC rushing champ... |
