Walton is the team leader... I seen what that boy did at Booker t....
What was the real story with Yearby? Some dudes on here said he was a cancer.
He's a very quiet guy but a hard worker. I never had a problem with him and wasn't aware if any other teammates did. I don't know why his carries went down or if he and any coaches had spats but he always came ready for practice.

The coaches just had it out for him and didn't want to play the most talented guy right Oblivion?

Did Yearby out perform Walton in the 1st 4 games of ACC play before being banished?
How many receptions tho. You can say what you want about Yearby but he can catch. He had multiple one hand catches out the backfield and up the seem. Ive never seen a pass to him that was droppedHe's a very quiet guy but a hard worker. I never had a problem with him and wasn't aware if any other teammates did.

It's odd that you judge the whole position based on four games but playing your game no. Even though Yearby had a SLIGHTLY better YPC that doesn't show the whole story. One good run can get that for you. How about that Walton had Four times the receiving yards?

You need to get your eyes checked if you think Yeaby is anywhere near as good as Walton.
Walton is way more explosive, faster and runs hard as ****. There's a lot of plays Walton made last year that Yearby could never make.
Seems there was plenty of runs Yearby could make vs GT, UNC and VT that Walton couldn't. Yearby had less than half the carries vs UNC Walton had and had 8 yards less and 4 yds per carry more. Matter of fact, from Gt to VT before Yearby got gutted from the field he was out doing Walton in every game.
Walton 64 car 203 yds 3.1 avg
Yearby 38 car 237 yds 6.2 avg
Back-up RB's have higher YPC than the starter all the time. Less carries usually leads to higher YPC, especially considering the fact that the 2nd string guy plays later in the game with fresh legs.
Not the first time we've seen this.
You think Yearby is better than Walton?
You're kidding right? Joe played later in games with fresh legs?
Yearby yards vs GT came in the 1st 20 mins of the game. 6 car 63 yds 1st 20 mins of game. Doesn't touch the ball again until 5 mins left in the 3rd.
He and Walton swapped for the most part so it wasn't like Yearby came in during garbage time. We weren't beating the breaks off anyone. In fact we lost 3 of the 4 games. So how was Yearby looking better late in games after what, Walton wore them down with his 3.1 ypc?
Yearby out performed Walton before he was axed and out performed him the previous season as well.
Yearby has the instinct to play the position, sadly he doesn't have the speed needed to make a future out of it.
If you could combine the 2 backs you would have an awesome player carrying the rock.

I 100% agree with this.. Yearby has a natural feel for the game something you can't coach or measure with numbers.
It's one thing to think that you know more than fellow posters on a message board...
But to think that you know more about a kid's ability than 32 NFL GM's and a college head coach who's had multiple stud RB's? LOL
I think you guys are onto something. It must be a huge anti-Yearby conspiracy.

Who is stating Yearby is a stud? Nobody is saying Yearby is an NFL back. Plenty of guys are productive in college and don't end up on NFL rosters.
Thomas Brown coached a guy at Wisconsin that was putting up numbers before Brown was even there, just like every other Wisconsin RB has done. He coached Chubb and Sony, big deal. Them dudes were studs in HS and it wasn't like he made them the backs they are toting the rock. You can teach pass pro but you aren't teaching instinct. A RB either has it or he doesn't. You don't coach subpar guys into being elite. They can put up big numbers, but they are who they are.
I like Yearby and wish him the best but dude is a 4.7-4.8 running back that doesn't way 230lbs. It's going to be very difficult for him to make a long career in the league. Again hope I'm wrong but just don't see it.

i think hes talking about coach MR and macho is right Yearby is not a good rb period even though he was a cane the truth is the truth.

I think Yearby is hoping to just make a practice squad. $6900 a week minimum salary. $117k if he stays on there for a season. That's good money for someone in their early 20s with a couple kids. Solid start.

Everyone understands that making a roster (active, inactive, practice) is great money.
The debate/discussion most of us are engaging in is how likely he will be to make a roster in any capacity.
And my point, throughout the Yearby discussion, is that he should have came back to Miami to help the team and to help himself.
As is pointed out in the linked article, Yearby didn't really have much special teams film. And that's what he'll need to make a roster, IMO.
Can he block? Can he tackle? Can he maintain his lane? Can he pursue? Can he be a good teammate?
He could have checked all those boxes with another year at Miami.
But if he thinks he's making a roster as a feature back, change of pace back, or 3rd-down specialist, I think he's fooling himself.
And if his goal is taking care of the family, getting more film to make a roster is in his best interest.
Seems like the kid made an ego decision, and it will likely cost him.
Unless, the Lions come calling ...
