Quote:Well, Fred Taylor had over 500 carries in college with a 5.7 Yards/Carry average over that time. I'd like to think that if I was in a position of authority over Taylor that I'd look at that and realize that he had potential and stick with him.

 

Bryce Brown bounced around to two different schools plus he took a season off. His first season while with Tennessee, he had a nice 4+ Yards/Carry average, but he only recorded stats for one game while at Kansas State. There's a lot less to go off of on a guy like that so any drop-offs have to be worrisome simply due to his lack of playing time.

 

And no, I don't expect him to have 170 yards a game, that's why I never referenced that particular stat. What I do want to see is consistency in his Yards/Carry. To me, that means that he is in fact "making the most of his opportunities." Or isn't that what you wanted?

 

If the defense completely sells out to stop Brown, which they most definitely were doing last season after they had the 2 breakout starts on film, and there is no running room, how can you not take that into consideration?? 

 

Whatever man....you think whatever you want. You rather play college lottery with the RB position, be my guest....

 

I for one, hope that Caldwell is smart enough to at least consider Bryce Brown as a possibility.
