Runnin' through your team in a Cadillac

I'm not so sure why so many Bucs fans were surprised when the Bucs released their opening day depth chart and penciled Cadillac Williams in for the starting job.  The writing was on the wall. Coach Raheem Morris practically said as much in the 3rd pre-season game. Yet, there are still those who don't understand why the team would make this move.

Let's be clear. Cadillac is injury-prone. But, don't confuse injury-prone with lack of talent. A healthy Cadillac is the most talented running back on the roster. Why wouldn't you give him a chance?

Of course, there are those Bucs fans who hate everything about Cadillac. He represents the old regime. He represents a "failed" draft pick under the previous regime. He was an easy fall guy for what they said was wrong with the team. Success for Caddy, refutes their argument that Jon Gruden and Bruce Allen didn't know talent. It refutes the argument that Gruden was unable to see past a Cadillac to Mr. August, Earnest Graham.

For me, I'm going to enjoy watching #24 make his comeback. I have no axe to grind. I'm always looking for the coaching staff to put the best guy out there.
