Quote:I think people don't give Yeldon enough credit actually, especially within our fan base.


There were times/moments where Yeldon played like a beast. Breaking tackles to even get back to the line of scrimmage, stiff arms, extra yards, receiving, blocking, slipping tackles, and NOT FUMBLING.


I honesty give him an A for the season. Of course he had mistakes and rookie moments, and only scored twice, etc., but I saw a lot of potential. I can imagine him only getting better and as stated above, join the top 10 in NFL backs. Next year we will see Bortles TDs go slightly down, but we will also see Yeldons TDs go up.

Ya know... if all NFL players were judged based on effort they would all get A+ grades most of the time. Such is the case with Yeldon; no one doubts his effort. But here's the thing; it's a production based league. Based on actual production, I don't see that Yeldon was really 'all that'. He may be the best we've got here statistically, but is that really saying all that much for him? I think not. He's stuck behind a really poor run blocking line and that's not his fault; but, that's the fortunes of the NFL. It's about production, not excuses.
