Trent Richardson 2012: 950 rushing yards (3.6 YPC), 11 TD ... 51 catches/367 receiving yards (7.2 AVG), 1 TD ... 3 Fumbles, 0 Lost
Jeremy Hill 2015: 794 rushing yards (3.6 YPC), 11 TD ... 15 catches/79 yards (5.3 AVG), 1 TD ... 3 Fumbles, 3 Lost
Hill's 2015 was seriously just a lesser version of Richardson's rookie year, yet you're praising Hill for having 11 TDs and using Richardson (who had the same amount of TDs) as a warning away from Ezekiel. As I said, pretty funny stuff.

EDIT:
That aside, TDs alone don't make someone a great RB.. otherwise some of the best RBs would be:
Mike Tolbert ... 19 ('10-'11)
Marion Barber III ... 24 ('06-'07)
BJGE ... 24 ('10-'11)
Stevan Ridley ... 19 ('12-'13)
Rashard Mendenhall ... 22 ('10-'11)
Warning of the perils of Richardson had to do with Zeke, not Hill. Going off of draft status. People have talked about Richardson being the best RB since Peterson. They're doing the same with Zeke.
Richardson actually had a decent rookie year. It's what came after where the bad started.
None of those players led the league in total TDs in those two year periods.
You named numerous for 10-11, but Foster, Peterson, and McCoy all had 24 as well. BJGE did well, there's no denying that with New England.
LT had more TDs than Barber in that time period. Barber wasn't a bad RB either.
So you're telling me that Hill, who has done pretty well for a 2 year player, is pretty awful because of last season?
