Hate for Najee?

Drink IRON City said:
Sorry big Ben, you are trying to say “apples to apples” when you don’t realize or admit they are not apples to apples.

One back is a feature back and the other is a specialty / 3rd down back (you know this). the better back is the feature back. The two roles are different roles and uses.

generally speaking, the feature back has a lower YPC, but over all more yardage than the 3rd down back.

You say Najee is worthless and Warren is by far the better back, BLITZ is offering a pretty solid bet.

Your “bet” is skewered heavily in your favor, thus you calling everyone chicken shitz for not taking your bet.

Reverse the role and it appears you are less then desirable to take a less skewered bet.

Fake news
We all saw them alternate series last season.

Per Ryan Heath

Efficiency does not always lead to volume at the RB position, but Warren does not sport the usual markings of the efficiency fallacy. Though he’s five inches shorter, Warren weighs comfortably above 200 pounds and has a higher BMI than Harris. Even on plays with 8+ men in the box, Warren’s 4.42 yards per carry average (7th) remained excellent and significantly better than Harris’s (2.99, 31st). This is not so much an argument that new OC Arthur Smith will decide to let Warren take over the backfield as it is suggesting he should be expected to do so without issue if called upon.

Speaking of Smith, his recent history suggests he might narrow the split between Warren and Harris on the ground, and his offenses have ranked top-5 in rushing attempts per game for the past two seasons in a row. Warren’s 14.0% target share last year ranked 5th-best. A slight bump in rushing volume from Smith and a ton of targets from 2023 checkdown rate leader Russell Wilson could be all Warren needs to enter high-end RB2 territory. That makes him a solid value at ADP with some bonus contingent upside should Harris get injured.

By all means keep lying to yourself about Warren facing light boxes and being a 3rd down back.

We can go round and round but there is an element of unknown when you have one back with over 100 more carries than the other. We have no idea what that amount or more would result in for Warren.

Of course Warren looks more explosive but that isn’t a guarantee that would stay that way with role reversal….

Whomba, Koomba who let out the chahoonga? Truth, it's what everything should revolve around. Truth. No more fraudulent claims.

ROTMFFLMMFAO! Yea, that's some solid logic there, for a pixiecombadelicious. Run, Forest, run!
 
Najee isn't anything special. Hopefully we set our sights higher.

He was a Rooney pick so he's getting longer to prove his worth, but push comes to shove and he just doesn't have it. Move on, you missed Art.

Najee is no Henry, no matter how much you wished he was.

Ollie Gordon II, Oklahoma State - blew the F up in 2023. 1,732 yards rushing, 6.1 yards per rush, 21 rushing TDs, 39 receptions, 330 receiving yards. This kid is the REAL DEAL, not some fake 1st-rounder like Najee. This kid can play. If not Ollie, then....​


Omarion Hampton, North Carolina​

2023 stats: 1,504 yards rushing, 5.9 yards per rush, 15 rushing TDs, 29 receptions, 222 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD. This kid may not be as good as Ollie but he definitely is a bigger difference-maker than Najee has been.

Pull up Najee’s collegiate stats. Then compare to your opinions.

Najee has 3 consecutive seasons of 1000 gains. How about your two options???

Najee was not drafted to be a homerun hitter. He is a battering ram that helps sustain drives.

Oh really? How did he do that job of "sustaining drives" on the 28th scoring team in the NFL?

So, more reason in your favor to take on the “BLITZ” bet. Or are you to “scared” as you would say of others……………….?

Beat me to it, but I hope like hellA, he can put me on ignore ASAP.

Except Najee's low YPC can get them in trouble. His slowness hurts the team. He's no Henry, who at one time, was ripping off 5.4 YPC, Najee will NEVER be a RB like that. Word is the team made no effort to tell him what was up with accepting the 5th year contract on him, not a word.
Click to expand...
This is just wrong. Najee told reporters on Wednesday the team told him they didn't know the direction of the offense. Putting that together with an article on DK it sounds like they don't know how well he'll fit in Arthur Smith's system.

Keep dodging accountability, that really has worked out well for you! LMFAO!

I have no idea what you are talking about but it doesn’t look too interesting…



Cooch.
