But would add that you named 7 players that were not on my list, of those you brought to the table,
they averaged 200 carries a year compared to 276 average of mine listed. Also mine averaged 9.75 TD's a season compared to 5.7 of the new ones you added. So if we drop one of mine to make it 7 against 7 against yours added, on average it would be 1,292 more carries and 28 more TD's a year.
So for example lets take Swift who is #1 on your list
Swift..........99 -542.. yds..5 TD's ..........is more valuable to his team than
Henry..... 349-1,538 yds 13 TD's ........?
Pretty sure Henry was facing stacked boxes all day long with the defenses personnel geared toward stopping the run solely. Plus Herberts team only won 3 games and was never even in the race and certainly he got some easy yards against defenses with big leads that were willing to give up rushing yards to prevent home run balls being thrown. Not saying he is bad by any means but don't think he was more valuable to his team last year than the ones I listed. Maybe next year he will be though.
Anyway really do agree with your analogy and thank you for adding, but don't believe it tells the whole story as mere stats never do.
Enjoy your posts even though you may think I don't. You bring much to the table that is very useful.
Nice post Go Cards. I like perspective as well, good job. And all class as usual.
BTW, been seeing a lot of negative stuff about Mixon around even from people in the Bengals circle after this recharge...
I would be crazy surprised if Mixon isn't designated a June 1st cut after the Draft and us adding a couple RB's....
Tyjae Spears and Laborn late sure would be a couple great talents to add.
