    Revis is a hitman and the other two are injury proned and/or been pointing down skill wise.

    It's a 2 year prove it deal, but as I said in the Off-Season Free Agency thread, Tate gets a bad wrap for being injury prone. He broke his leg in 2010, something that can happen to anyone, and hasn't had a season ever to prove himself after. He was great last year and played through broken ribs, but when push came to shove and he was nearing the end of the season, which was going to lead into an offseason where he needed to be 100 percent to earn the pay day he needed, wouldn't you consider shutting it down after playing tough through broken ribs? I would.

    I have to agree with this. Tate doesn't have a single lingering issue that usually tags players as injury prone, but the fact is that he gets injured every season. I don't care how you get hurt, if it happens on a consistent basis, you're injury prone in my book.

    Here's a stat I found:

    Kyle Shanahan, the O coordinator in Cleveland right now, has his leadbacks carry the ball 260 times vs. 172 the year before his arrival

    Injury prone to me is reoccurring issues. Anyone has a pretty equal chance to get a bone broken..
    Bold Predictions:
    Cordarelle Patterson replaces Josh Gordon in the top 5 WR group.
    (Julio, Calvin, AJG, CP, and Dez)

    Andre Williams proves himself to be the best RB in this class, by having the most productive rookie season of all the rbs.

    I get some see him as a big injury risk, everyone has the right to judge injury histories the way they want. I know I've tagged plenty of players as injury prone maybe before they deserved it (right or wrong). I'm perfectly fine with the doubt, makes him cheaper. Broken bone. Can happen to anyone. Ribs, he played through it until he was probably advised not to. It's not like knee issues. But again, I get it, everyone has a point here. I'm down with the doubt, keep it rollin'! :) Ben Tate top 5-10RB 2014, all the way, baby!

    will i suppose if he isnt on the field broken bone or knee injury or the flu he still cant put up numbers and tate has missed more than his fair share of games as a backup i see much more injuries as a full time lead back..JMHO..is it worth the risk that is for each owner to decided..i wont be putting him as my rb 2 maybe my 3 if i can get the price right but since i wont get him cheap i will let someone else deal with all the injuries..
