I read no mention of Gerhart anywhere anymore, either from the sportswriters or fans. He and our #` pick Chris Cook had less than overwhelming first seasons. Does Gerhart just need to get his sea legs under him or is he just not prime time ready for the NFL? Would we have been better off picking Jahvid Best?
My take is that he had first year jitters and never really got enough carries to get in a groove. As I recall he had a couple of very nice runs toward the end of the season. So I haven't lost faith but would like to see him have a breakthrough year and run like he did at Stanford. Or course there are those who say that he's just too slow for the NFL and he follows a long list of RB's who excelled in college but lacked ability to make guys "miss" in the NFL.Discuss.
