“27.5% of Philip Rivers’ pass attempts went to RBs last season. Austin Ekeler averaging eye-opening .12 catches per snap in career. https://t.co/33dBNatDDK”
@SleepyDillon sub 200 pound workhorse running backs dont exist in the nfl. Jamaal charles and chris johnson were 200 pounds and the only reason they started was because they were the fastest guys on the field every sunday. Jackson is an average athlete at best and hes small. He will never be a workhorse or anything that even resembles a workhorse in the nfl.
And short or small handed QBs can't be franchise QBs either, right? There are exceptions. I think it's more that there aren't a lot of teams that implement a workhorse period. There have been plenty of sub 200 lb backs to have success in the NFL.
Barry, Warrick, Ray Rice, Westbrook were all workhorses during their careers and sat right at 190-200. But times are changing. Committee is more cost effective and better for attrition.
6/14 games Penny averaged less than 3YPC. Guess how many Carson had in 14 games? Hint: It rhymes with hero ;)
@TheBigCheese839 Jackson has a better sparq score than Charles 🤷🏿♂️
Jimmy G MVP
Send it
Gordon will play. They'll get him paid and he'll be a beast.
Gordon ain't getting paid bruh
Its the skimpy ass chargers
@RealFantasyWire Penny was also a rookie. Melvin Gordon, Joe Mixon, and Leveon Bell all averaged less than 4 ypc for their entire rookie seasons. Penny averaged 4.9.
I'm confident they will pay him. Rivers will be off the books in a few years, they will have 54mil+ in cap space next season and they cant afford to lose a premier RB when they are trying to get a ring while rivers is around.
@dafyaman cool. Another useless analytic for matt kelley to tickle his ballsack to.
Passing on MG3 signing would be a mistake during this run
Bro rivers deal is up at the end of the year
They gotta pay rivers too though
You expect him to Retire? lol He'll sign for a modest 1-2 year deal
Chargers have historically not paid players. And Melvin. Doubt they break the mold for a RB who's played a full season just once in 4 years.
You expect him to take a discount?
@RealFantasyWire he'll pull a leveon and end up on whatever team adam gase is coaching 2 years from now lol
100%. If he was worried about getting paid he would have asked for a restructured contract. He'll sign a 1-2 year deal for 18-25mil per. Especially if the Chargers brass show initiative in giving him pieces
Rivers is a gamer through and through. Man wants a ring. He's been making ~21mil per season over the past 3. He wont command top money.
He's got 10 mouths to feed
lol about to say that
