I agree transfers would be better used at other positions. We can definitely have the best RB's in the ACC. I just think having the 4th or 5th best is also a possibility, and sounds like people think that's crazy. I also think Mike James was the last drafted RB that played here as a Senior -...

Yeah - I hear you. I think RB's can make much more of a difference at the college level where as it's much more minimal in the NFL. I kind of take the National Rushing rankings with a grain of salt because it can be skewed so much on whether or not you have a rushing QB. 2014 - The RB's...

I definitely agree with you YPC can be skewed by a outside/speed guy vs an inside bruiser. Definitely plenty of backfields where that is the case. But trust me, pick any college backfield the better RB will have the higher YPC a majority of the time because they're just more efficient at what...

I love your posts - but you just described the every Miami backfield since 2008. In NFL Terms - A backfield with Duke & Gus is much different than a backfield with Javarris & Mike James

2021 - 5 4 Stars, Highest ranked is Knighton at #106 2010 - 6 4 Stars. Lamar Miller ranked #68, Storm Johnson ranked #40 Why is 2021 more talented on paper than 2010?

If you include Rivals, 247 and ESPN - They went 1 for 6 in being ranked inside the Top 200 on any site With Brown's 193 on Rivals. For perspective - Miami RB's that were rated higher include - Javaris James, Eduardo Clements, Kylan Robison, Lee Chambers...Beasts When it comes to Miami RB...

The problem is we're dealing with revisionist history. People rarely own up to how much these players were hyped at the time Graig Cooper was a 5 Star who people were comparing to Reggie Bush on Greentree. Yearby - a TON of people were saying he'd be better than Dalvin Cook. I was arguing...

I hear you - I can totally understand if you don't agree with the play calling. And appreciate the insights. I think scheming to get Cam to the outside more would be smart. But for me, I think that's because the outside is where Cam is headed anyways. I watch all the RB's closely, so I'm not...

Maybe this will be true. Right now this is just a recycled saying. Remember 2020 when 1, 2, 3 games into the season we were killing it? Same thing was being said. Remember 2018 when we had Homer & Deejay and were adding Cam & Lingard? Same thing Remember 2016 when Thomas Brown was saying...

5.1 ypc isn't bad, but it isn't good. It's very average. I wish the default wouldn't always be to blame the OL & Play Calling - but that's a cycle that will never be broken. Here's the YPC of our last 10 leading rushers: Travis Homer - 5.9 & 6.0 Deejay Dallas - 6.0 Duke Johnson - 6.3, 6.8 &...

I think Chaney is our best RB, but the "Chaney ran away with the starting job" narrative may be true, but it doesn't pass the sniff test to me. I'll believe when I see it. Hope springs eternal and it's overrating season. For example: Spring 2020 - Knighton was looking "special" after a...

Would you rather: A) Give 80% of the carries to 1 "Elite" RB, and split 20% of the carries between 4 "Below Average" RB's? B) Split 100% of the carries between 5 "Above Average" RB's?

If we have 5 "Cam Harris" type/level of talent RB's on our roster, do we need a 6th of the same? Of course not But if we have 5 RB's on the roster, do we need at least 1 to be an obvious step above a "Cam Harris" type/level of talent? Definitely

I get what you're saying about actual carries. My point though is more, "is there a RB who will step up to the point where his talent will demand a majority of the carries"? We want a "bellcow" RB - because last year we had a logjam of "ok" RB's. Cam has averaged 5.1 ypc the last 2 years...

I agreed there's no reason to add a transfer. We have plenty of depth and good players at RB. What I'm saying is I can tell fans are thinking we have more juice at RB than we actually do. And I can see the backlash coming. I think "Depth" and being "Better" is skewing away from the most...

I disagree with the OP about a transfer. Our RB situation is good and a strength. A transfer RB isn't needed. That being said - I can see the "This is our best backfield since 2001" hype train has left the building, and there are no brakes. Posters be damned if you say anything critical about...
