| Not a surprise, he could not find anything anywhere else. I don't think he really adds anything to the team. |

| This new tactic is amusing. By posting relevant news, the bees have been lured to the hive. Lolol. |

Adds nothing to the team!?!?!? Are you mad..?!?!?
Apart from experience at a position where we have none, leadership skills and a brilliant team and work ethic, some fantastic pass protection ability, great hands out of the backfield, and most importantly excellent cut-running ability, or is that not enough for you....?
He fits the Shanahan scheme perfectly.
I'm DELIGHTED he's back, he's such a positive influence off the field which is a bonus with a team that's as young as ours is, but I'm happy to wager if he stays fit he'll lead the team in rushing next season.
This has made my day!
That and Man United losing the title...

I agree 100% SLR. There are some very strange fans around. Hightower is a great re-signing. I personally expect Helu to lead the team in rushing, but it could be close. We might not even have a 1000 back this year, but still have one of the better running attacks around.
And as for Man U losing the title - well, I'm not a hater of that team, nor a lover of City and their billion pound project, but I watched the City game yesterday, and couldn't help willing them to win it.
Still, that's off topic - hooray for Hightower! |

Let's see....hummmm....he rushed for a staggering 64 yards per game (321 yards total in 5 games). I repeat, he adds nothing. |

I don't disagree with you, SLR. And I am stoked that you have used the word "delighted" on here. 
I'm still concerned about the ACL injury though. How many RBs are effective the year after that injury? Maybe the number is better than I am guessing. Maybe not. This is fantasy football related, but has some good, relevant numbers here:
http://www.footballdocs.com/RB_injury_rule.html
Check out the YDS the year before the ACL injury and the YDS the year after. GRIM.
All that said, Hightower wasn't really a big yardage back last year anyway, and I know they like him as much for his blocking and pass catching. So I have no issue with bringing him back. |

nothing....?
So let's say he only avgs 64 yards a game. What about his blocking (questionable OL)...? What about his ability to catch from the backfield, a useful thing with a rookie QB maybe...?? What about his off field support to the young Helu and Royster...??
Nothing.
Sums up what you know.... |

| High class local guy veterans are something we can't have enough of. Plus he looked good in preseason when we were running the ball more. His ypg may be low due to rex trying to air it out since his first two ints put us down by 20 |
