Moreno seems to be the ultimate average back like Shaun Alexander and Joseph Addai. Isn't real fast, catches ok, runs with some power but is not exceptional in any way.

I am going to have to strongly disagree. Catches OK? He is one of the best recieving RB's in the draft and is great at it. Georgia would spread him out as a WR multiple times throughout his career with good results. Isnt real fast, according to what his combine times? Watch the game speed and he has plenty of it, playing in one of the fastest confrences the SEC he can be found on tape running away from many defenders for the long gainer. He along with Hershel Walker are the only Bulldogs to ever gain 1000 or more yards in consecutive seasons. Gained 1400 yards and 16 TD's running behind the youngest OL in the SEC (3 Sophmores and 2 Freshman). Not syaing he will be a sure thing but you are not giving him nearly enough credit IMO.

Gimme some Shonn Greene in the second... OL or OLB in the first.

Joe-You are probably right when you say that I don't give him enough credit. I only watched a couple of Georgia games and I was left wanting. His speed to me is deceiving ala Beanie Wells' power. I just don't see it translating as well at the NFL level. But, again, you seem to have had more exposure to his play and that is always the best indicator.

Stout-I am aware of the success that Shaun Alexander had, however I might be the biggest hater you will ever meet in regards to him. I believe that he was a product of a superior offensive line which grossly inflated his all around average ability. The worse part about this argument is that you can provide me with telling and legitimate stats to back up your claim and I will still ignore them. I am sorry, I would love to say that I could debate this with you, but I am not that unbiased when discussing Shaun Alexander.

Yeah, apparently reality doens't enter into it with you and Shaun Alexander :)
