You my friend are the master of creating strawmen to execute. You are the Joseph Stalin of strawmen. Better players put up better numbers? Congratulations. You just won the Captain Obvious Man of the Year award. All you did was write all that to say that some of our NFL caliber backs were...

It is par for the course. We have put out a steady stream of NFL backs. Yearby would have been one too if he was a 4.5 guy instead of a 4.7 guy. He had the worst ypc vs guys who actually made rosters. These guys are underrated because of our offensive line problems. I don’t care how they...

This is better. For the record, I didn’t like Yearby getting benched when it happened. I was more upset by his departure than Gus’. It worked out because Homer was a beast. Walton had a poor freshman year in 2015, but he bounced. Walton’s emergence at the end of 2016 changed my mind. That was...

When the other backs you listed had higher ypc behind older backs, they took the starting position WITH NO QUESTION once their opportunity came. TRULY better backs take control as they get experience. You want to gloss over that, fine. It still speaks volumes to why Gus wasn’t successful here...

You still ain’t comprehending what you read. Let me quote myself in this clarifying statement from my last post. “Most of Gus’ numbers at Miami were SPOT DUTY AND GARBAGE TIME. Mark carried the starting load against starting caliber players”. You can drone on and on about p5 vs non p5, but...

I didn’t bring up Rutgers because this conversation started about GUS AT MIAMI. I brought the 2017 ypc to show the flaw in the way you use numbers. Most of Gus’ numbers AT MIAMI were spot duty and garbage time. Mark carried the starting load against starting caliber players. Don’t alter my...

Go back and read the post more carefully. The point of the 2017 comparison was to show the logical flaw of the way you were using stats. That is not my argument. I don’t like using stats to compare players because even when you try to narrow them down, they still lack a ton of context. The eye...

Posts like these are why the quote of lies, ****, lies, and statistics exist. This is the use of numbers to make an argument at its most disingenuous. Trayone Gray? Really? No wiggle, no vision Trayone? Go back and look at those game logs from 2015. Trayone had his worst numbers long after...

Yep. The hatred some fans have of south Florida players is fr fr. Who was even talking about Yearby? He had a 1000 yard season but he wasn’t in this conversation. Walton was the better college back. Gus has had a better pro career. None of his supporters like to acknowledge he went to the...

Walton was still the better college back. Unfortunately his pro career got derailed so there is no way to make a good comparison. Gus got into a good pro situation and got a second contract. Good for him.

Walton was a better college back. You are comparing Gus’ senior year to Walton’s injury shortened career. Walton was poised to have a big time senior year when his final year was cut short. Walton got drafted by the Bengals. That goes without saying. His mental health issues derailed a...

These numbers ain’t apples to apples. Gus racked up a lot of his stats in garbage time vs garbage teams. Mark started and carried during the toughest situations against the toughest competition. Fate cheated us out of his best football because he was rising to a new level when he got hurt then...
