    I was talking about the one game they played together. Including the touches from the game Harris barely played because he missed the preseason and the one in which he left early with the Achilles injury is misleading, and you know it.

    If you want to say focusing on just one game is too small a sample, that's fine. To say I'm intentionally lying is utter bull****.

    Yes, they gave the fourth-quarter work to Harris because they trusted him more with the ball.

    They didn't even know they were going to have Hampton when they signed Harris. Come on.

    When you try to use a comparison to special needs to insult someone, that is mocking people with special needs. It is like a teenager who uses sped as an insult against a classmate. Do I need to explain that one to you as well?

    Oh bs man. I quoted your own words. Just ****ing own it, you were wrong. Trying to pass it off as one game they were giving him more carries is lame. A game where he had just one more touch.

    They gave him one more touch in one game so that means they wanted Harris to be the lead back. You’re freaking ridiculous.

    Why do you have so little respect for people with special needs?

    Actually, I thought they wanted to split carries, but lean on Harris when they needed to protect a lead, exactly what they did in the only game when they had both healthy.

    Using the numbers from the game when Harris barely played because he lost the entire preseason to eye injury was lame. Using the game when Harris left early on due to the Achilles injury was lame.

    You do know he didn't play earlier because of the 4th of July injury right?? So they were trying to slowly work him in. This was talked about all over the sports news, and then when he started getting back into football shape , and more carries he got that Achilles injury. This doesn't mean he would have done well, but it's showing why he didn't play much right away

    The claim being made by Scribe is he was getting more carries than Hampton. He clearly was not.

    But what were the total yards?

    At least that's usually the only thing Najee Stans care about.

    The claim is he was getting more touches, which he did in the only full game they played together.

    You can't dispute that, so you keep including the game Harris left early and the one he wasn't fully back from the July 4 injury.

    Accept thats not what you said, you said he was getting more carries. When I showed you he wasnt you moved the goal posts across the country and said he got more touches in one game.

    Great argument, Scribe :thumbs up:

    And still inaccurate according to stats @Bubbahotep@Bubbahotep posted.

    He recently did that to me repeatedly to avoid dealing with the simple facts

    I get more intelligent feedback from my dogs

    At least they admit when they are wrong so I can respect them for that

    I never moved the goalposts. I did use a small sample size. They played one game full game together. Harris got more touches. He also had six carries to Hampton's four early in the second quarter of their third game, which was when he suffered the Achilles injury. That part I hadn't mentioned before because I hadn't bothered to look it up yet.

    My argument was accurate. You know it is misleading to use the opener, when Harris barely played because he missed so much of the preseason. Now you know Harris had more of the carries in Week 3 before he got hurt. But by all means, keep on posting the inaccurate representation of what I posted.

    This would mean more if you actually understood the difference between fact and opinion, yet you continue to present the latter as the former.

    I just had a thought and tell me if I didn’t just nail it

    English is not your primary language and that explains your reading comprehension problem

    And that in turn causes your insecurity and paranoia

    Nailed it didn’t I

    Otherwise I am at a loss for your challenges

    No reason to be ashamed I bet you are doing the best you can

    Now you are questioning the comprehension skills of people whose primary language isn't English? I have students and former students whose first language isn't English who would put your meager comprehension skills to shame. For example, they have no trouble understanding the difference between fact and opinion.

    You really should show more respect for people with learning challenges you didn't have to face.

    Maybe you should try supporting your arguments without insulting others. Try working on that skill. I might develop a modicum of respect for you.

    Do you have anything relevant to say about Gainwell?
