And thus the point: 98 touches is not enough for a number 9 draft pick . . . Joc. Bell or Bruce Hall could have done that and probably would have been just as successful.
Look, I'm not ready to bury him, and as I said before, I am hoping and wishing he will become the back the BIlls thought they'd get with him. But my point is, at this stage in his progress, he has done little to justify it. . . . and so far, based on the evidence before us, his production and results do not come close to his pay grade.
YES, some of my assertions were probably overstated, and I hope he does become the guy. But at 9, "the guy" has to be better than average for the pick to be called a good one (e.g. Donte Whitmer). Believe me the last thing I want to do is curse him with the Maybin label, but so far, he's not much beyond it (yes, he is beyond it a little, but not nearly enough). . . . Just saying
GO BILLS!!!
