Tre isn't a good example
He's actually the perfect example. More carries equals more yards. Therefore, more yards does not automatically equal more talent.
Gurley - 152 fewer carries
Gordon - 111 fewer carries
Hill - 114 fewer carries
White - 96 fewer carries
Hyde - 109 fewer carries

If we were a 1 tailback system Jonathan Williams would be up there CLOSE to Chubb

What are your criteria?
Like most people, I believe YPC and TDs per attempt are the best gauge.

Then why didn't they get more carries? Tre's ability to carry that load has to count for something.
Posted on 6/8/15 at 10:49 am to RB10
TBH YPC should be the only factor. TD's are situational where as YPC are specific to the play being based on the objective of what the RB job is, to get as many yards possible.

Not really. CAP's ypc was higher than Tre's in 2013.

Incorrect. Points >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yards.

Ask the coaches. This doesn't change the fact that having more yards doesn't make you a better back.

Point being is that we can talk about 2013, a season with established stats, and deciding who the best was is very subjective. Trying to come up with a list based on something that hasn't even happened is even more subjective. That's why I don't get caught up in these lists.

this is a futile discussion.

Just because someone has the most yards that does not make them the best RB. CAP was certainly not better than Chubb last year. Josh Robinson was probably also better than CAP last year.

You love to fricking argue about the dumbest shite.

Well, you're arguing that a RBs objective is to get a many yards as possible, so it probably is.
You mean to tell me you'd rather have a RB that rushes for 1500 yards and 5 TDs over one that rushes for 500 yards and 15 TDs?
Posted on 6/8/15 at 11:04 am to RB10
How do you even choose based on that alone? This is jumping the shark now.

It's a simple question. Would you rather have a back that rushes for 1500 yards and 5 TDs, or one that rushes for 500 yards and 15 TDs?

His abilities were good enough to get drafted and carry the load until they drafted Todd Gurley. That should be enough for you Auburn rantards to see Tre isn't what you seem to think he is. He's talented and produced well for you but you don't take Gurley for your first pick in the draft when you plenty of other needs if Tre Mason is going to carry the load.
