Fletcher

Other than setting the all-time playoff rushing record, and breaking Miami’s all-time touchdown record, and leading the revival of our program after 20 years, Fletcher is an average player.

Mark's accomplishment = one of the best RBs that's ever played for miami
Mark's current form = #2 at best

get out your feelings and put your bias away.

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.

He's also the best pass blocking back by far. There's a significant gap between him and the rest of the room.

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

Why didn’t Fletcher go pro? Because he came back to be a Cane, set records and win the natty. You may recall the natty, where he went for 117 yards and scored 2 TDs against an elite defense. Putting the team on his back down 10-0.

We are Canes fans. We should be celebrating Fletcher’s all-time touchdown record, which he set today. Or praying for him to get back to 100%. Or imagining the possibilities of Fletcher and Mallory on the field together during playoff games. Instead, we have posters seeking attention calling Fletcher an average player.

These posts are a disgrace and, unfortunately, reminiscent of some disgraceful posts this time last year.

we should be resting him until ACC title game.
NO ONE can say a bad thing about this kid to me. He has fought through all kinds of injury issues.

I think a lot of time in sports you get used to a player doing things week in and week out and you don't realize how good it was until the next guy comes in and can't do it.
