August4th Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) what games do you see kicking off the season? if pats win..I can see Dallas and maybe the Browns. Steelers and chiefs opened with them recently, so I hope they don't start with them again. if Rams win... I can see Ravens, Saints, Sea, or Chi.

We host Dallas in 2020 with our new stadium opening that year. With Jerry’s help moving book it that’s the week 1 game.

AlNFL19 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I don't think Melvin Gordon gets the respect he deserves as a fringe-top-five running back. He compiled over 1,400 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns to 0 fumbles and averaged 5.1 yards per carry. I don't think he's quite top 5, but I don't think people talk about him enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's injury concerns with him - maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but it seems like he misses 2-3 games every season with some sort of injury. I like him, just concerned with his durability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many good backs nowadays that it’s hard for some guys to get their due. Plus right or wrong, I think a lot of his hype died down after his relatively underwhelming rookie season. I’d take Gurley, Zeke, Barkley, and Kamara over him for sure. Bell is absolutely better too, but I can see why some would be hesitant to rank him after he just missed a season. Then there’s McCaffrey and Hunt who the majority of people are probably taking over Gordon too. So just not a lot of room for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some other nominees from the 49ers: Rice had 409 and 6 TDs in 3 games in '89 3 carries for 27 yards for good measure Montana had 800 yards and 11 TDs in 3 games in '89 His playoff rating was 146.4 They averaged 42 points per game He only played 3 seconds of the 4th quarter in the Super Bowl and came out early in the other 2 games as well. Young had 9 passing TDs at a 117.2 rating in 1994 He also ran for 240 and 2 TDs at 6.4 per pop Kaepernick had a 100 passer rating with 798 yards 4 TDs with 2 picks and also ran for 246 yards and 3 TDs He threw for 10 yards per pass and ran for 10 yards per run And someone from DC: The Diesel had 610 yards and 4 TDs in 1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think folks probably just casually looked at the statistics in his first three seasons of his career, and noticed the sub 4.0 YPC, and lack of a 1,000 yard season, then labeled him as a disappointing first round pick. Casual folks don't look at YFS sadly, which in this day and age is probably the more important stat than just pure rushing yards. Or at least just as important.

Casual fans don’t understand tempo and strategy. Like the run plays for example, most casual fans think QBs should sling it every play when they don’t have to.
