Well Dyer did get almost as many yards on the ground in one year as Trent Richardson has gotten in two years.
Like I said just a few posts up, I never said it wasn't warranted, it was.. people expected him to be the #1 without a doubt.
1

He is #1. The depth chart is just a piece of paper.

If we run up the middle on the first play of the game, Dyer will be "starting". A starter at RB for Auburn has little meaning, as both Dyer and McCalebb will get carries, just on different types of runs usually
I understand this, I was just pointing out that many people don't. The reason it is even "news" is because everyone assumed he was by far the best back on the team. That is all.

I think most people just saw it as a forgone conclusion that he would be the starter.. and when he wasn't, people apparently thought something was up.
Maybe there should be 2 AU runningbacks on the Heisman ballot.

Sorry I have to continue to spell this out.
He wasn't #1 on the DEPTH CHART, which IS just a piece of paper, but he was expected to be #1 nonetheless.

perhaps there should be.

I think it might be based on seniority. Who knows. Chizik addressed it, saying don't read into it.

I think they put OMAC #1 just because he is older, like seniority. Just my opinion though...

Quindarius Carr was also put ahead of Trovon Reed on the depth chart. McCalebb being put at the #1 spot in front of Dyer means nothing. Dyer will most definitely lead the team in carries, yards, and TDs as long as he stays healthy.

He will be #1 during the game.

fixed? or just added in your usual bullcrap?
I have been in agreement with all of you this entire time. I was just pointing out to some poster named "LanierSports" that it was "news" to people simply because they figured he was the best back on the team and should be named #1.. since he wasn't named #1, people wondered why. That is all.
I understand naming omac the starter and I realize it has no bearing on who will play when, others didn't.

I hope Quan Bray gets a good bit of playing time this year.

Trooper said he would get some PT once he learns the playbook enough. He said he also has to know when to line up at all times.

No, what I am saying is we usually have both of them in the game at the same time. Meaning two backs. Omac was listed first (more than likely) because of he is a Junior.
I never said either was the best back on the team so you are wrong.
I said its funny how the people obsessing over it are all Bama posters. The Chiz already said it was nothing, dont read anything into it so I never gave it a second look.

very true...I wasn't surprised to see OMac ahead of Dyer, because I know Dyer will have the most carries.

seriously. I just said people assumed he was the best back. I'm not wrong about anything. I never claimed you said anything.. I was just explaining the reactions from opposing fans.
