maybe so, but while Drake has excelled against the weaker competition Yeldon hasnt looked so great against those same teams.

Drake - 5 TDs, 159 total yards :: Yeldon - 2 TDs, 244 total yards.
I think most people will take the extra 3 Tds over the extra 90 yards.

Gurley not only handles the majority of the carries but is also one of the better pass blocking backs we've had?

welp
So he has a longevity issue because he missed 3 games due to a high ankle sprain?
quote:

No it's not and I don't think I've said nearly enough to suggest I have an agenda. I've merely requested that you back up your claim that Gurley has longevity issues. You've had ample opportunity to do so and have offered vague claims or no claims at all in response.

And that's well and good. But the topic up for debate is this notion that he has longevity issues which appears to be completely unfounded.

And Crow has also stated that just because Gurley isn't in on every play doesn't mean he can't go. Our coaches have stated from the beginning that they're going to play the fresh back. We have 3 other extremely talented backs on the roster. Playing fresh legs doesn't mean Gurley is taking himself out.

But Yeldon's primary yardage and both TDs came against West Virginia, while Drakes numbers have come against FAU and Southern Miss. Additionally, Drake only had 7 yards against WV.
At this point in time, based on the criteria for these rankings, Yeldon > Drake.

So you are saying when Gurley isnt in the game he isnt "fresh"? this kind of proves the point

it means he cant play because he isnt up to par, again kind of proves the point

they were routinely taking him out of the game because he needed a breather.

You are being protective of your players because you think it some sort of slight on him. it is what it is and yes you clearly have an agenda

yet you dismiss every one as non existent because of your agenda.
Im done with this, so dont look for another reply on this subject

No player on the field is fresh after the first play. Don't be willfully ignorant.
quote:

No, it means the coaches have opted to put in a different back to go against the non-fresh defense. Gurley has proven that he can play through pain and exhaustion and play well (see Florida, Kentucky, Auburn, Georgia Tech, and Nebraska of last year)

I'm saying that someone that has run the ball 15 times isn't going to be as fresh as someone who has run it 5 times.
quote:

No it doesn't. It means he's a human being. He could absolutely go in those situations. Coaches prefer to have someone who has fresher legs.

Didn't Drake punch in 2 or 3 of those from the 1 yard line? Yeldon could do that as well and you know it. I'd take Yeldon every time. Drake is a great switchup but I don't trust the ball in his hands for extended periods.
