bobobonators Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Barry's average is based off 10 years. In the same conversation, he had never finished a season with less than 1,100 yards. He also had 6 seasons with 10 or more TDs. Has an average of over 10+ TDs a year. CJ averages 3TDs a year over his miserable career. lets hope the Bills don't want him to be a Bill Barry's average is based off 10 years.

CJ splits carries on a regular basis - especially in the red zone where a RB is more likely to get a rushing TD. Logic holds that if Spiller was given +100 more carries a season (which is how much more Barry averaged than CJ), he'd have a lot more yards per season. Also, giving CJ more carries gives him a greater chance of creating a big play. That being said, CJ is not the caliber of player Barry was (clearly), but he's also the type of player that can't be given only 6-10 carries a game and expect one of those 6-10 carries to be for 40-50 yards. It's not going to happen regularly. Now if he carries it 20-25 times - it's much more likely (hence the barry comparison). I mean for as "bad" as CJ has been, you don't have a 4.9 ypc in the NFL (which coming into this season was above 5.0 ypc) by simply breaking 50 yd runs and the rest being negative yardage. We know that's not the case. He can get 4-5 yards too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickedface Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 they are players like reggie bush. not great at running up the middle but good in space. most coaches don't really understand this in space thing with rbs. cj and cj can be good with the right OC however both aren't in the right place for that right now.

Fan in San Diego Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Remind me, why did we give away Marshawn Lynch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Remind me, why did we give away Marshawn Lynch? Because he was a degenerate here? Granted, he's probably still a degenerate, but Seattle apparently knows how to deal with it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Look up running backs that have had over 400 touches in a season and see what happens to their careers. simply put, CJ2K has survived that workload better than most as most seem to take years to bounce back from that beating, if they ever do. he certainly dipped Yup. The worse example I recall was Larry Johnson; the Chiefs ran him into the ground in two season. Even Thurman had a notable decline in production after his 400 touch year in '93.
