Fletcher

Cristobal, having said he had an offer from federal law enforcement, would have been excellent based on how cryptic and secretive he is with injuries. He would have been excellent in court from a testimonial standpoint.

Everyone loves Fletch. But just being straight up, whatever the reasoning may be, Mallory is more effective right now.

One of my favorite canes ever, but gotta go with Mallory right now. Let FLetch get healthy for the post season.
 
****, what’s wrong with having multiple quality backs in a room? They’re all needed. Idea of debating who is No. 1, 2, 3 or whatever is an exercise in futility. It can change game to game.

I’d like to see him running down hill more out of the pistol. The side to side stuff has never been his strength. At this point I’d be fine with him getting very limited carries the next two weeks. Mallory and Lyle.

Pringle looked good on that swing pass. He covered 10 yards before the defense knew what happened. Then they run him right into the A gap and he’s not seen again.

Mario purposely gave Lyle praise in the post game presser. Also gave Pringle some love on the first down catch

RB depth is taken for granted at times

I remember some pretty good backs wearing those 2001 uniforms at the same time.

What sickens me is the rush to bury one of the best football players in the country and the leader of our revival. The “keeping it real” crowd needs too much attention.

Highsmith and Bratton were pretty good on the same team. I see some similarities here. Best backfield in America.
 
We have 3 starter-level RBs + another one who can be a big threat in the pass game (after we completed the pass to Pringle in the flats we ran two WR screens underneath him flaring out that were successful) why the **** do we constantly try to tear down the other RBs in favor of a single one? It's stupid. They all will play and they all should play. It's up to the RB coach and Dawson to figure out which one has the hottest hand at the end of a close game.

Take our second to last TD drive: We handed it off to Mallory 2 out for the first 3 plays and he got -1 yards. Lyle came in and got 11 yards on 2 carries. We need to rotate RBs because they get tired and they also get injured. We have 3 really good ones. Be happy, ffs.

There was one guy in the game thread who was mad that Lyle got the ball instead of Mallory after Lyle had just broken off a 33-yard run. Mental illness.
 
Fletcher is the best big powerful back in the country. Watching Fletch in the 1st half you could see he didn't have the speed as last year or earlier in the season. He's hurt. Hope he gets back to full speed and resting him may be the answer. Hope he's back to full speed for the ACC championship and beyond.

All these guys forget what he did to wake until he went out injured. Was just running people over

Nobody is burying Fletcher. You are way in your feelings like Fletcher is your brother. He's a great person and a leader. Nobody questions that. I'm sorry, but he isn't one of the best players in the country. That's a very homerish take.

It is my opinion that he isn't as good as Mallory. That's it.

Nobody has answered the question of why he didn't go pro last year. I'll answer for you. He wasn't good enough.

I'll also add that these are professional athletes now, so they are fair game to criticism whether you like it or not
 
Riddle me this: why is crediting Mallory equated to knocking Fletcher?

The eye test this season, well Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Ronnie Milsap are competent to weigh in. How many explosives do you need to see?
How bout this: What would Mallory have done in the playoffs last year, with that OL? Blaspheme, I know.

Wonder what the Bledsoe-Brady talk would've been on this type of platform in 2001? Or the DeBerg-Montana debates around 1980 in SF? Crediting a unique talent doesn't diminish the contributions and leadership of another. The receipts for this debate are going to be delicious in the years to come.
 
Mallory is the better back right now. Mallory is also one of the best backs in the country right now. Fletcher is still very good. Just doesn’t have the same juice as Mallory. Not a knock on Fletch. We’ll need him for the playoffs
