    Pain meds could explain a lot of the gibberish

    The running game was far worse. The total yardage was skewed by the one long catch-and-run by Warren, but more importantly, the touches were split among three backs the first two games in 2024. That is what made your number misleading. You prefer to ignore the valid comparison, which is the top three backs, because it ruins your misleading statistic.

    Please don't move the goalposts like that. Your claim that his Achilles tendon had to be a ticking time bomb for it to rupture like that is false. You brought your opinion. I sought out the opinion of an expert, which proved your claim incorrect.

    To address your point after you moved the goalposts, the entire circumstances would be different. Perhaps he would have still ruptured it at some point, but that is in on way guaranteed. Your assumption otherwise does not hold up.

    FFS scribe Im comparing the direct tandem of both and provided the results. The all purpose yards is more for Warren and Gainwell than Warren and Harris. Only you would try to argue against that.

    “Hey Scribe theres a cow”

    “No Blast, thats not a cow because in China at midnight under a blood moon it looks like a zebra. So you’re wrong, it’s not a cow.”

    Find a new doctor. Achilles that rupture like that is often from degradation and fatigue. Also could be a genetic predisposition. That was going to happen no matter where he was.

    Strangely enough another highly respected poster just yesterday said almost the same thing ;)

    Maybe there is some truth to this hypothesis

    Hmmmm. Rando on a message board or surgeon who specializes in treating foot ailments. I wonder whose opinion we should trust. Such a tough decision.:roflmao:

    Yes, I understand that you prefer to use the misleading an incomplete comparison rather than the valid one. The Steelers were splitting touches among three backs during those first two games of the 2024 season, not two. The accurate comparison would be to include the top three backs from both seasons, not the top two.

    Let's try it your way, but I'll actually reflect your point of view honestly, which you did not do with mine.

    Imagine we both own butcher shops that sell the meat from those cows. I have three butchers working and sell $5,000 worth of meat in two days. You have three butchers and sell $4,500 worth of meat in two days. Now imagine your two best butchers accounted for $4,400 and my two best accounted for $4,300. Which shop brought in more money?

    Sure, but be careful. It's a trick question.

    You think you are the only one that knows doctors :lolol:

    Difference being is the doctor I know isnt a professional relationship but a friendship.

    What I posted about degradation and fatigue wasn’t in any way inaccurate. Maybe you only heard what you wanted to hear from your doctor.

    But you do you scribe, reconcile however you need to make yourself feel better that Steelers disagreed with you about Harris.

    Theres nothing to solve, the answer was given in the beginning, his shop sold 5k and mine 4.5k, everything else after that is noise. His shop sold more.
