Yea nevermind he is a top 10 back as a rookie on a bad team. Nevermind he has been better than Barkley, Jacobs, Hall and Pollard just to mention a few and averages 2 more yards a carry than Allgeiers.

never mind that the Falcons are 4-5 with or without him.
Assuming the Falcons become contenders at some point, which is not likely, he will be done and used up by then.
You can’t seem to grasp that it doesn’t matter that he is a good player. He’s worthless on a bad team.

Top 10 backs in the NFL are a dime a dozen. If their OL play is shite, it doesn't matter. This isn't college where an elite talent can run through a defense despite having a bad OL. There are no Texas Techs, Baylors, or Iowa States in the NFL. He can't out-athlete an entire front seven at this level like he could at Texas.

I think everyone would agree that Derrick Henry is an elite talent at RB, correct? Derrick Henry missed 9 games in 2021 due to injury. In those 9 games, the Titans went 6-3 and averaged 140 rushing yards per game. Their production did not drop off one bit. Know why? Because their OL was healthy and they had the same running scheme.
