    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    How are you defining or measuring value? I'm not getting how you're saying Kickers & Punters are more valuable than RB's. I mean....couldn't you say the same thing for OL that make the Pro-Bowl every year - like Joe Thomas, Jason Peters, or Trent Williams? Or LB's like Luke Keuchly or Khalil...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    IMO it's about getting playmakers - whether it's at RB or WR. The position matters less than if the guy can makes plays or not. You can breakdown WR's the same way you did RB's and it looks the same: Of the leagues Top 10 WR's by yards...only 2 are on playoff teams (2 WR vs. 4 RB) Of the...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    I look at this differently - and I could definitely be wrong on this. You've always got good stats to support your opinion. But I think the Top 10 RB's can still make a big difference. But the 40th to the 80th best RB are basically interchangeable. These are guys you can easily find. The...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    Those same coaches had: Ballage above Drake & Walton at the start of the season. Walton above Drake in the middle of the season. Ballage above Laird & Gaskin after Drake & Walton were gone. Is it safe to say the coaches might've made some mistakes?

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    Drake got traded because the Dolphins are idiots 2017 Dolphins RB's Jay Ajai - Traded for a 4th round pick which became Kalen Ballage. Ajai starts for the SB Champion Eagles Kenyan Drake - Traded for a 5th round pick. Drake had 814 yds & 8 TD's in 8 games post-trade. Ballage & Walton have...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    5) Here we are today. You're saying Walton was better by a mile than the other Dolphins RB's. You're still holding on to the notion that Walton's receiving, blocking, special teams, etc. differentiate him from other RB's. Let's compare Walton's 4 starts vs. Laird's 4 starts: Walton - 162...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    4) Go back to the 2019 off season. In a weird way - the off season arrests (the first batch) actually jump started his career. The Bengals cut him (where he would've had very little opportunity to play) and landed on the Dolphins (which had a ton of opportunity to play). Bengals carries...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    3) Go back to the 2018 NFL draft. Walton was the 10th RB taken in the 4th Round You said he would be a 3rd/4th Round pick - and would be one of the top 10 drafted. You were right on both. I said he would be a 6th Round pick, but was a UFA type talent - and wouldn't be one of the top 10...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    2) Go back to 2017 when you said Walton was the best RB in the ACC, one of the most versatile RB in the country, and an Elite pass catcher. I said he wasn't. Compare him to 2 NC ST RB's that year and a Dolphins RB this year: Nyheim Hines - 89 NCAA receptions, 107 NFL receptions Jaylen...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    You're not looking at the big picture when it comes to Walton. I'll make some posts to show you 1) Go back to 2016 when Walton had 155 yds & 4 TD's vs FAU. People started calling him one of the best RB's in the country. Fast Forward to now. Here's the rookie years of RB's that played in...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    Walton's career - 365 yds & 0 TD's @DMoney said Walton would be as good or better than Duke Johnson You said Walton could be like James White I said Walton’s career would look similar to other Canes RB’s like Mike James, Javarris James, Damien Berry, Jarrett Payton, etc. How am I the one...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    Yes - Ballage started 6 games, Walton started 4 & Laird started 4 out of circumstance – not because they’re NFL starting RB talents. Once Drake got traded Walton only had to beat out Ballage, Laird, and Gaskin. He did, so props to him on that. But there’s 75 RB’s in the NFL that could’ve...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    Man....you've got to be realistic about Walton. He wasn't better "by a mile" than Myles Gaskin or Patrick Laird. He was basically the same. Mike James started 3 games his rookie year. Had a 158 yd rushing game. It didn't make him more than 3rd/4th string RB. This isn't me hating on Walton...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    I'd agree with that - although Devin Singletary & Zack Moss were 2 heavily slept on 2016 RB's that have turned into NFL level talents.

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    I'm cautiously optimistic on Knighton. I think Cane fans have visions of him being the next Duke Johnson, and I don't think he's realistically at that level. I do think Knighton will be better than Yearby/Walton/Cam - who've all been labeled as "the next guy" at some point. Chaney I don't...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    Walton started 4 NFL games out of circumstance. He wasn't a legit starting NFL RB. I think Cam will get a look in the NFL, but I think he's still being overrated by fans. I think he'll be in the Javarris James, Mike James, Damien Berry, Mark Walton type bucket of RB's, but I think most...

    South Florida RBs in the playoffs

    Yesterday was a showcase for South Florida RB's. Duke is being underused. Singletary is much better than I thought he'd be. For those that went in too early on our last couple of Dade RB's thinking they'd be the next big time Cane RB - Yearby, Walton, Burns, Cam - don't worry, Chaney's got...
