As shown in the previous thread, our RBs were better at running the ball this year than our RBs last year. It's only by a very surface level look...
If we make the SB in your scenario, I await all of your posts pointing out how we did it with Tomlin's players! IMO, Tomlin leaves the team with...
My guess is that Omar will become the focus. But we'll see.
Charbonnet was important for them. But Walker had more carries and more yards during the reason....
I think they also showed the importance of drafting well (something we've not been good at recently). They have a significant amount of good...
What are you going to do when you can't blame everything on Tomlin anymore?
Poor drafting really hurt the Steelers. Made us go out and acquire guys through UFA because we'd missed so often.
This is an example of why having two good backs at low cost on rookie deals (Walker 2.7MM, Charbonnet $2.1MM) is likely better than having one RB...
AND the RB was worse. No one is saying all the other things didn't matter too.
You know that this is an argument for not paying RBs, right?
Hurts: Rushing yards decrease by 43% and carries decrease by 30%. Man, that guy was a lot worse last year! What a disappointing season! Especially...
Whew! For a second there, I thought maybe a RB got worse between seasons! Glad you cleared that up for me! Because it's never, ever on the RB...
He did have 45 fewer rushing attempts (about 1/3 drop). I wonder how much of this was that they weren't in 3rd / 4th and 1 as often? The threw...
Ultimately, I think the questions here are: Do you think that Barkley's performance was disappointing this year? I'd say getting ~ 1k fewer yards...
I always like reading the offseason stuff. Most of it won't happen, but it's interesting to see what the possible moves are. And having lots of...
:lolol: I wasn't suggesting that you do that. Just that taking an average across all the UFA signings probably doesn't give a good picture of how...
I wonder if there's a way to weight this by some kind of measure of impact and contract size (e.g., EPA / $1MM or something?). If we consider...
Remember your argument is “Barkley ran for 225 last week but let’s wait until next year to worry about him”
I agree that he's overpaid. But if we don't trust Wilson (who was losing snaps to a guy who's a career backup), then we don't have a backup plan....
Because Barkley was destroying teams last year. So it seems pretty likely that teams spent more time worrying about him last season than this...
