Walton has come a long way.
Still remember his Freshman year a lot of you were meh about him

Remains to be seen. No history of performance against average or better opponents.

He's getting all this hype, but I am still not a fan of his running style. No vision---and he is just not anywhere close to an elite back in my opinion. I have seen too many great backs at Miami, to just lower the bar based on hype. I refuse to do it.
I think the dude is waaay overrated....and I write all of this knowing we need him to perform at a high level this season

How about one of the best rushing defenses in the nation in NC State?

I agree 100%. The board is hyping him to be a Duke Johnson/Lamar Miller type talent when he's actually more of a Tyrone Moss/Damien Berry level of talent.

Against good opponents - For every good game Walton has had, he's been bad in 3 or 4.
He improved last year, but still has to prove he can do it in our most meaningful games.
I don't get why 2 or 3 good games is enough to make people overlook the 12 or so bad ones.

Much of that can be put on the abysmal play of the OL against those teams.
For the sake of our team and this season I hope Walton has a year worthy of the praise he is getting. Up till now though, he does not have the numbers to be mentioned with the top 10 RBs that have come through the U.

Because smoke said NO history against average or better opponents.
A great game against a great NC St defense, counters his argument. I agree Walton is far from elite, but to say he's NEVER performed against a top opponent, is a lie.
