Give it up with the eternal wishing that Fitz Toussaint is gonna be some mysterious weapon that gets unleashed and saves the day the next 2 games. Yeah he is a fighter, yeah he has has terrible luck, and yeah, I hope he can be 100% and get some PT. But there are many people that still need to get the delusions out of their head. He is an average back at best, injured or not. Our future at RB is not Fitz Toussaint or Mike Cox. It's Smith and Hopkins. Get used to it.
He has
Wrong, the future is Dee Hart
The present is V Smith and Hopkins and maybe a sprinkle of Toussaint. If Shaw was healthy (knee and now head) he would be starter.

It's an opinion. A "Prediction based on flimsy evidence" if you will. And I was taught in high school writing class to state an opinion without saying "I think" or "I believe" to preface it.

Is that evidence his track star speed, or his first carry as a wolverine going for 65 yards?
I know from experience dude. If you know what I mean.
It's his name
I mean, really, have you ever heard of a running back named Fitzgerald? If he were any good, he'd be named Mike, or Vince, or like... Bo or something.

Tshimanga is a good one too.

But he shortened that name to simply Tim. Or maybe it would be Tshim...

For the record, he didn't like being called "Tim".
Yeah, BUT...
The Edmond Fitzgerald ran pretty well until November. So maybe there's hope for Fitz next year, at least for the first couple of months,
There is always hope...
if not, he'll be remembered in song...

He was also wearing a big ass
He was also wearing a big ass knee brace but don't let facts like that get in your way. Preach on. More people need to know what you are thinking.
I thought I saw
the knee brace go flying off in pieces as he ran down the field. Run, Fitz, Run!

Not to mention that in one of
Not to mention that in one of the countdown to kickoff videos he outran Woolfolk to the end-zone despite TWolf having a slight angle on him. And the coaches hinting that he was going to be the starter before he got hurt in fall camp.
No, not fast at all. Not good at all. Merely average.
Pssst...
You are kinda being soft edge.

Not at all.
Wait a minute
So now, you're actually, actively arguing against not just common sense, but actual measurable numbers? I mean, do you really want to go down that road? You can argue whether the bird evolved from the dinosaur, but do you want to argue that the bird weighs less?
Correction
It was a MAC safety who was pretty good at track in high school.
I thought the point of an argument was to be right about something. Anything.
No excuses. Play like a champion.
Like that safety, I'm sure
Like that safety, I'm sure that there are fast players in the MAC, it's just a matter of how good of a football player they are. That is why Toussaint is in the Big Ten and that safety is not.
I'll be honest, most of my MGoPoints have come from a Lloyd Brady sighting at the Gator Bowl.
but
he was caught from behind. that was very surprising to me.
True...
And Roy Roundtree was caught from behind last year while fully healthy. Nevertheless, he seems to have become sorta good.
You are right. Barry Sanders
You are right. Barry Sanders used to get caught from behind, too. That is why he sucked. (sarcasm)

Edit: Since I was negged by somebody, this is relevant because the OP posits a baseless opinion and refuses to listen to facts. Just like Shaggy 2 Dope.

That is just so wrong on so
That is just so wrong on so many levels. Without letting the reader know its your opinion, then it is interpretted as you stating a fact. Which it is not.
Fact vs. Worthless (yes, your opinion is worthless)
I learned in law school that if you are going to go in court and state an opinion, you sure as hell better let the court know that its your opinion and not word it so it sounds like a fact! I'm not sure what high school you went to (Lincoln Technical Trucking School?) but your teachers sucked a--.
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
Ah high school
I was taught many things in high school. Then, I went to the University of Michigan and had this realization that maybe some things I learned in high school should be ignored. I would be hesitant to post here on premises from high school. [I think] That might result in heavy negging, but that's just my opinion.

I have no idea why I find this comment to be outstandingly hilarious, but I do. Probably the use of "sweet" in this context. I just laughed the hardest I've laughed all day. Which. . . might mean I need to start laughing more. Or get a nitrous tank.
To start laughing more
You could check out Amazon to buy some whipped cream chargers. Just a thought, anyway.

Wow
I'm not too sure if this Fitz talk is hard edge enough.

We all know
Michigan is hard edge this week. That means Fitz is hard edge as well.
Forget about Neal Anderson
Neal Anderson isn't where our Tecmo Bowl futures rest. Quit hoping that Neal Anderson is going to be the savior. The future of our past lies with Bo Jackson:
Holy crap!
