Just give it up. Everything you’re saying, I already tried to explain but they don’t care. Mark Richt knows nothing about running backs and neither do the 32 teams who passed on Edwards in the draft. Maybe you could make a case for giving Edwards more carries in 2015 instead of freshman Walton...

The running back who was at Rutgers before him had better numbers. They sucked but were statistically a good rushing team. I appreciate the super fan advice from the guy ****ting on actual UM running backs to hype up his favorite Rutgers player.

The underused excuse gets thrown out the window because he went to Rutgers, got a ton of playing time and was still average. I will agree with your last sentence, though. He was not a good fit for our offensive scheme. The reason he’s been a better professional player than college player is...

There’s certainly varying opinions on what NFL teams think running backs are worth in terms of dollars.

Martin also averaged 5.4 ypc in 2015 but the points isn’t that either guy would have been better at Miami. It’s that Gus Edwards was a very average college player. That’s all I’m saying. The people here saying otherwise are just spouting personal opinion because there’s nothing he did at Miami...

Look at Martin’s stats prior to Edwards’ arrival. He was statistically better than Gus.

Here's one more point: Edwards was the feature back his senior season at Rutgers and was very much an average college running back. 713 yards, 4.3 ypc and 6 TDs. His numbers at Rutgers were actually worse than the guy he replaced, Robert Martin. Maybe he felt he wasn't getting a shot at Miami...

It's already been established that Gus got most of his work in blowouts against FCS and G5 opponents. He had one 100 yard game against an FBS team. Fans might be stupid enough to play lesser players because of where they're from but coaches aren't purposely sitting guys that can make their team...

Richt has also coached some of the best running backs in the modern game during his time at Georgia but for some reason he forgot everything when it came to Gus Edwards. Deejay Dallas also managed to earn a ton of playing time despite not being a local guy so miss me with that local player...

Yeah, he probably didn’t get enough carries to make a judgment but the reason he had a good ypc was because most of his work came against terrible teams. Outside of a 2014 game against Virginia Tech where he ran for 115 yards on 20 carries, his biggest games were against Savanna State and...

No argument. I have no problem with the guy having success or making money. I have a problem when his fans trash actual UM running backs to hype him up. Rumors and innuendo aside, Gus Edwards had very average college numbers, even as the featured back in New Jersey. Maybe the monetary incentive...

Every running back you listed was a better college running back than Edwards. I don’t really care who’s the better pro running back. That’s like saying you’d rather have Chad Henne in college than Johnny Manziel because Henne has had a longer pro career. If this was an NFL board it would matter...

The reason Gus got a lot of heat from Miami fans was because he was disappointing. He was a big dude with really good speed but he ran like a 180 lb running back here. The good news is, players can actually improve and sometimes the light doesn’t come on for a guy until his junior or senior...
