Did you skip over the post where I said he had a great game and is great when he gets his guy. So many of you are so eager to insult and attack that you lose self control. Im also not the only or first person to acknowledge in a constrictive manner he does whiff

Like I said your nitpicking and trying to invalidate it because of the agenda you push that pass blocking isn’t important in this offense because you think one player should be getting more reps.

I have never on this message board said blocking wasn't important at the RB position. Again stop lying here.

Every analyst says he's the best pass-blocking back in America, but we're reinventing football on the CanesInSight message boards. Pass blocking actually doesn't matter.

The argument isn't whether pass blocking matters or not - but that's what it always devolves to.

How much a RB's pass blocking matters is the actual argument.

It's a gray area argument that people want to make black & white.

seems like there's a middle path where we just want him to not miss. the claim is he's the best blocker in CFB and it would actually be interesting to see if there's RB out there with a higher blocking rate. that's likely.

Would the RB with a higher blocking rate happen to share a last name with a popular brand of canned potato chips and rhymes with Shmingle?

Hey bro. Laugh at yourself. Just for a second. Keep it private if you need to. It's ok. It's good for the soul. We all Canes on here.
I'm rooting for Pringle too.


To keep it real.... I once thought Lorenzo Lingard was going to be the second coming of AP. I was wrong. Like wow wrong. Guess what? I'll make more wrong predictions in the future.

So am I.

Let go. Laugh. Relax. Take it easy. Breathe. Rub one out if necessary. It's not that deep. All the fans want Pringle to succeed. If they don't, they're not a fan. I think the coaches have earned our trust by now.

That's true. Real talk here we are going to need Pringle to make plays this year. We are 77th in explosive runs. So again struggling with chunk runs. The answer is to get our fastest player the ball more than once. So all this hate directled at me is kinda absurd here. People are now making up all kinds if scenarios to talk crap to me. This will swing around tho.

It’s closer to black and white if you aren’t an elite tier runner and wr like gibbs or achane

I don't disagree with the explosive runs, all diarrhea jokes aside. We could use more of them. I'm not as hung up on that right now because we're getting plenty of explosive air plays right now and our overall offensive metrics are off the charts. I don't disagree with the idea that Fletcher is not the most likely to break long runs, but I also have that 56 yarder against aTm engraved in my memory. Do I think Pringle COULD bust out more long runs? Yeah of course. The pass blocking gets brought up all the time to point out why Fletcher gets more snaps. It's about that simple.

Now as for the hate coming at you, I think a lot of it is playful banter that you sort of fanned the flames on. I don't know you in real life, but if I did and we were friends, you would get your balls broken regularly. It's just how we do it in my crew. It's actually how meatheads like me and my friends show love for each other cuz, well, we're meatheads and hugging it out or talking about our feelings requires emotional maturity that none of us have. You've fought so hard to make your Pringle point and got worked up. That becomes a scab to pick at. As I mentioned earlier, we're all Canes fans on here and all pulling for Pringle. Pringle is going through the process much like Pancake Honcho did. With a little luck, Pringle will work himself into the first round like Samson seems to be doing. I'm hoping for it. Between now and then, breathe and laugh. You'll live longer.

All good advice. Fletcher actually has some wheels when he gets going and i fear for any DB trying to tackle him. I don't want to sidetrack this thread into another Pringle debate. I only did so because you were cordial. So I will not respond to anyone else about it here. People are looking to debate me. Have a good day.

IMO you don't need to be elite (you can just be good) to overcome pass pro deficiencies - but we'll probably just disagree on that.

I quickly googled "who was the best pass blocking RB in the (year) NFL draft" and this is what I got:

2026 - Kaytron Allen - 6th RD
2025 - LaQuint Allen - 7th RD
2024 - Jaylen Wright - 4th RD
2023 - Roschon Johnson - 4th RD

If RB pass pro is really that important - then why aren't these RB's drafted higher & playing more?

I know mocks aren’t right this time of year, but what are we hearing about his nfl draft projections?

The best rbs are always the best runners but you have to at least be solid in pass pro to be a 3down back or some teams will hesitate to feature you in the offense
