You are without a doubt correct. I liked him his last two years and was a big fan of his. His offense did indeed set records, but for some reason when his name is brought up I have visions of a 150lb running back running a draw play up the middle over and over and over again for no yardage. I have no rational explanation for this.

It's exactly my point 1 above. People remember carlton thomas running a draw and think that's bobo's legacy, for some reason i can't explain. Our starting RBs in ealey/king were decent but nothing to write home about. He was the change of pace scatback and we've run james cook, tyson browning, and host of other similar backs up the middle too. Not sure why that stands out in people's memory so much. And again, once he had legit RB talent to work with the results magically got better.

S/O Fat Cheney for taking those memories and throwing them on the funeral pyre. Now my go to bad play call memory is running Isaiah McKenzie on 4th and short against Vanderbilt with Sony and Chubb on the roster.
