Yes, he had 16 TDs. That's one year. Over the last three years, he's managed 2, then 2, and then 16. What's next year most likely to look like? Seven? Eight, maybe? Nine? That's my guess. Maybe it'll be 16 again, but he still has a lot to prove before that seems very likely. Right now it looks like some kind of statistical anomaly. Not that that means Cook isn't good. He is. But for RBs, a high TD count has an awful lot to do with how many chances he gets and how good the OL is, of course. His long breakaways (and he has a few) are a different situation. His speed made a lot of difference on several of those plays, but overall you just see well-blocked, well-executed plays which did not require a sensational effort by the back. Doubt it? Here's a video of all his TDs last season. Do you look at this and say, "Wow, what a back!! Almost none of those get scored by another runner?" I don't. I see speed killing on three or so of those plays. And that beautiful five or six yard run up the gut where a guy hits him head on and his contact balance allows him to get right off it and score. Other than that, though, I see a lot of effective plays by a fine football team.

That's awesome. I never knew that

You're right. $40, maybe $50M a year ... money is no object!!!

Well, What do you know. 46 democrats cross the aisle.

All they do is lie.

No love for Back to the Future? Great Scott!

More like a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

It's the accumulation of injuries that really makes a difference. The record would be the same regardless of losing a single player (outside of Josh Allen, of course). But once you have 3, 4, 5 starters down, that starts to have ripple effects. I will say that the Houston game last year showed me how much they missed Shakir, but I think the offense evolved past that glaring weakness afterward. So, only Josh Allen makes sense to do this with. I think they would have won 7 or 8 games without him.
