Yearby... 200 pounds

[Jedi Master Cane]

We will be better rushing the ball.

I can';t think of any top tier defense we faced where Duke looked great.

In fact he looked AVG against top defenses.

Joe Yearby is a better RB than Duke Johnson. He'll certainly be less injury prone and won't cough up the football at crucial times like Duke, than proceed to pout on the sideline like a woman.

I've been petitioning for a while to have IQ tests added to the registration process for this site....I think we should consider adding a drug test as well

He also doesn't fumble the ball.

Good to know. I feel so much better now.

I think a lot of people are underestimating Yearby's potential, but Duke was a special back, one of the best in our history of great backs.

one of the best but nowhere near the level of edge, mcgahhee, etc..

I ask again, in what games did Duke take over a game against top defense?

All the top defense shut him down.

He sure looked great against FAU, Cincinatti, and Behtune Cook though.

We played 4 teams that finished last year in the top 50 in total defense (Louisville, Pitt, UVA and Va Tech). In those 4 games, Duke averaged 154.5 total yards.

It's sad when you can't support player without tearing down another... Year by is no where near as talented as Duke... He'll do alright this year but we are going to miss Duke and the rest of the departed players...

Yearby IS more talented than Duke.

Duke was not a good runner between the tackles.

Yearby and Walton do not have fumble issues like Duke, nor do they get injured like him.

These are the facts.

I know that you're trolling but, Yearby missed most of his senior year because of injury and when has he looked impressive between the tackles?

I wish people would stop using Yearby's ankle as an excuse. He missed the playoffs his Senior season, not the whole year. He broke his ankle and could have practiced last Spring, but he was held out as a precaution. The ankle had no affect on his performance last year.

Duke also broke his ankle before last year, and no one mentioned it for Duke, but people always want to use it as an excuse for Yearby.

Excuse for what?? Nobody is making excuses. Troll said Yearby doesn't get injured like Duke... but he was injured in high school. So it was not only stupid, but incorrect. That's why it's being brought up.

Yearby only had 5 total carries in those 4 games. Can't believe anyone would say Yearby is better than Duke

Aren't you the same guy that said Scarlett was stiff and overrated on another thread? Either you're trolling or you really have no effin idea what you are talking about.

Just wow smh

Forreal, just ridiculous...Duke went 1600 last year and was on track to over a thousand his sophomore year before FSU. You dont become all time leading rusher by running toss sweeps.

While Duke may have been a bit injury prone, and on occasions had fumble problems, you are overblowing those issues. Yearby has not shown himself to be more talented than Duke, in high school and thus far in college. Is it possible he can take it to that next level, sure, but from what we've seen thus far, he's not quite at Duke's level. Duke actually ran quite well between the tackles and some of his big runs came after breaking through the middle of the line.

Duke was very good and during his junior year he was at another level physically so he was not getting caught from behind anymore. the kid single handily won games for us and again FSU in 13' the kid had almost 100 yards by the time he got hurt. His injuries were product of being run into the ground. I think he took it to another level his junior year. his problem with fumbling in big moments was an issue, he did it in almost every big game but so does Dalvin Cook.

Yearby is a very good RB to me. i think everyone just wanted dalvin so bad they look at joe as a plan b

Interesting development with Joe. He has always been the type of player that was impossible to stop for a loss. If his feet as just as good, or better, then he's going to be quite the terror in our zone game. He's always been an elite cutback runner, now he's gonna be able cram it when necessary. Make the first man miss, break the next tackle=massive chunks. I wonder what he's going to look like in the passing game.

He was always an excellent pass blocker--he just never had the bulk to do it consistently. He's tough, tough kid. Pass pro is nearly all desire. Now he has more *** to back up that toughness. I can see him being a terror as a route runner. That same elite lateral movement he uses in the zone game carries over nicely as a route runner coming out of the backfield.

Above all that, Joe is a football player. He would be an excellent slot, corner, etc. He succeeds in multiple roles. He's been a legend in the parks for years. He just wasn't blessed with elite physical tools. Maybe the added strength can help him be the best version of himself.

Everyone keeps talking about Gus, but I can't picture it. I've been a Gus hater from day 1, but I hope I'm wrong. It is widely understood that, generally, big backs take some time to develop. An 18 year old kid in a massive frame like that is still a bit awkward. I think the same goes for a guy like Juwon Young (although he's a LB [and I think LB/RB are mirrored offensive/defensive positions]). Regardless, I hope I'm wrong.

Yearby will be fine but lets not get carried away saying he's better than Duke.

Dude, that's his basement. His ceiling is a mix of Barry Sanders and Walter payton with Emmit's vision.

You're a ******* idiot and probably should stop posting.

 

[McGahee2TheHouse]

Brock Berlin was going to be better than Dorsey too. Aguante was probably that guy back then

The next Emmit Smith

I see what you're doing there, but that's actually not a terrible comparison. Saying he's going to be the next NFL record holder in career yards is quite the statement (and I know you're ******* around), but they actually have similar body types/styles. Emmitt was not the strongest, biggest, or fastest--just like Joe. He benefitted from great OL play, but he had excellent lateral movement and vision, just like Joe.


**you can add toughness in there too. Now I wonder if Joe will prove to be as durable as Emmitt.

I think Yearby's a nice back.

I also think that stating he will be better than Duke Johnson is outrageous at best.
