I'd say stats have a weird way of meaning "nothing" when you don't like what they're showing. You can debate all day as to how much or how little these stats mean, but they certainly don't mean nothing. As a baseline - a really good RB should be averaging 5.5+ ypc overall, and a minimum of 4.5...

My posts tend to go way over the top, and I did it again in this thread. You're right to call me out. I just don't get why it's accepted that it's always ok to sh*t on the OL, but if I criticize Knighton, that's not ok. The "it's all the OL's fault" default setting triggers me. The stats I...

Of Miami's last 25 leading rushers YPC vs P5 teams (since 1997): - Knighton's 2021 3.9 ypc would rank 25th out of 25. 24th worst is 4.2 - If Knighton stopped playing after the 4 game stretch - Knighton's ypc would be 4.5 - which would rank 21st out of 25 You think a 4.5 ypc looks "pretty...

This is amazing - and you're really going for it - but still only my 2nd favorite hot take of yours. Can you guess the first? It's like a HR hitter hits 3 HR's in a game, and you're telling me "Yeah but take away his 3 HR's and he's not that good". So back to the UVA & UNC games: - Cam had...

Where in the world are you going with this? You say Knighton is explosive - I point out Cam makes much more explosive plays - and you then say Cam's explosive plays are a knock against him? Huh? You say "imagine if Cam played 4 more games" - but Cam outperformed Knighton when they played the...

You guys are funny - Anytime stats show up that don't support your position it "isn't apples to apples" or "doesn't have context". Then you cherry pick the stats that aren't apples to apples that help make your case and act like it's fine. Since you guys are struggling - I'll help you make the...

No problem taking out Cam's Non P5 games. But then you compare Cam's 4 P5 games and cherry pick Knighton's 4 BEST games and Knighton STILL averages .3 ypc less? You think that's fair? For an example of explosiveness (or lack of): - Knighton has 3 20+ yd carries in his 188 P5 carries the...

Here's where I think we agree and differ on some things - and it's all good, just different ways of looking at it. No right or wrong. I agree - Knighton had much more carries than the other RB's in 2021, and that contributed to his low 3.9 ypc. I think he was way overused in 2021, and wore...

Do you think Lashlee was a worse OC than these past gems - Dan Werner, Rich Olson, Patrick Nix, James Coley, Dan Enos? 2020 - Cam 5.1 ypc - Chaney 4.7 - Knighton 4.0 - Burns 3.9 2021 - Cam 5.8 ypc - Chaney 4.0 - Franklin 7.5 - Brown - 4.1 - Knighton 3.9 Do you think it's Lashlee's fault...

Some RB's are great at running, but bad at receiving. Some RB's are great at receiving, but bad at running. You need to look at the rushing & receiving separately. Knighton should no question be our #1 receiving option. He's a weapon, he's created huge explosive plays in the passing game...

I didn't know - and I'm not attacking him, or saying I know more, or trying to say Knighton sucks. Did you look at the thread? I'm saying let's look at the bigger picture and ask these questions: 1) What are the odds the OL was the worst it's been in 25 years, to the point where Knighton...

It isn't all on Knighton, but a majority of it is on Knighton. OL is part of the problem, but his running style/decision making is a larger part of the problem. Cam, Chaney, Thad - each put up better rushing stats than Knighton behind the same OL. The reason isn't the OL. They've simply been...

Knighton is an absolute weapon receiving and I get the excitement. But the reality is he simply hasn't been good running the ball. Knighton averaged 3.9 ypc in 2021. That's the lowest for Miami's leading rusher in 25 years, and lowest since Javarris James 4.6 ypc in 2006. Knighton needs...

Don't get me wrong - I'm a huge of Wheaton's talent and thought he was going to be the best RB on Alabama last year before he got injured. I say there's weird things around him because for instance - if he knew he wanted to go home, why was in the portal for over 2 months? I'm probably looking...

**** - Wheaton was my favorite RB in last year's class. SMU seems like a strange destination. I'd like to think he'd put up huge numbers there, but seems like there's been a lot of weird things around him going back to his recruitment that makes me think he might not put it all together. I...
