Matt Cassell had his only pro-bowl season off the backs of Jamaal Charles/Thomas Jones... Not that I disagree with the point. Bad QBs won’t turn good from a good running game. But it certainly helps.

I'd argue that Barry Sanders and Ricky Williams took turns dragging around the corpse of Rodney Peete like Weekend at Bernies in Detroit and Philly for a while. Emmitt even did it once in Dallas. 76 TDs 92 picks and 71 fumbles with a career winning record at 45-42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice list, thanks for sharing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And our RBs are better than yours. PFFs is scout driven. Truth is always somewhere in-between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An article from week 8 had Philly 2nd and Dallas 4th. Not sure of the up to date rankings. Although I have to give PFF some serious side eye (more than usual) because they had NE’s line at 9th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

childofpudding Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Blitzing is more popular. The Ravens are blitzing on 51% of opponent dropbacks. Second on the list is TB with 44%. Last season the Ravens blitzed the most often as well, on 40% of dropbacks. Overall, teams are blitzing more. Last season 8 teams blitzed more than 30% of dropbacks; this season it's 14 teams. The median this year is about 27% compared to 24% in 2018. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2019/opp.htm#all_advanced_defense https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2018/opp.htm#all_advanced_defense Edited December 1, 2019 by childofpudding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets go ahead an disprove you once again. Quote Larry Johnson - Damon Huard Huard literally played 8 games in his career before KC. So you have no before/after comp. INC attempt Quote Barry Sander - Rodney Peete Peete: 5 years in DET => 73 Rating, 4.8 ANY/A, 57% comp 14 year carrer => 73.3 Rating, 4.8 ANY/A, 57.3% comp Technically, he was at his worst while at DET w/Barry. F Grade. You straight failed. Quote Emmitt Smith - Quincy Carter Carter played 2 years with Emmitt and 1 year with out. All of his stats improved aside from INT %. F- YOU FAILED AGAIN. Quote Frank Gore - Shaun Hill Shaun Hills 3 seasons with Gore are worse than his career in comp %, ANY/A (slightly), but is better in rating (slightly). If your goal is to prove Gore made Hill, this is F- as well. Quote Curtis Martin - Ray Lucas Lucas started 15 games in his career. GTFOH with this trash example. Quote Corey Dillon - Jeff Blake You are really starting to reach here. Blake played 25 games with Dillon in a 13 year career. 25 games - mid 50's comp %, 78ish Rating, 5.4ish ANY/A 13 year career - 56.4 comp %, 78 rating, 5.4ish ANY/A WOW You really showed me how much the QB was affected by the RB. Quote Jamal Lewis - Banks, Boller, Grbac Pick a QB and a RB. Quote Tired of looking..... SOMEBODY QUOTE AND TAG THIS JOKER. HE HAS ME ON BLOCK BECAUSE I KEEP PROVING HIM WRONG.

Not sure how this is a negative against RBs Because the Eagles fans have, for 4 year, maintained that Dak is a terrible QB and Zeke is the only reason he looks good.
