They over drafted Fournette and that changed things. LF was the bell cow.  The only COP in Hackett's system was a scatback (Grant) and Coughlin publicly stated his dislike of Yeldon. 

So he didn't get a shot in 2017  -  now in 2018 he played pretty well in limited opportunity  (after grant went down)  with 900 APY and 4.0 yards per carry -  and then he was jettisoned. 

You're really failing at this.

Lol, yeah only if Yeldon wasn't on the number 1 rushing team in the league he would of had a chance.  Haha, Tom publicly stated his dislike of Yeldon and LF when they sat on the bench and laughed and joked around when we were getting blown out in that game.  Only if Yeldon got a fair chance lol.  It sucks that a team like Buf wouldn't of signed him and gave him a chance.  That would of been another perfect opportunity

Stop putting words in my mouth and trying to move goalposts. 

He had 180 touches in 2016 prior to Fournette becoming the instant bell-cow.
He had 159 touches in 2018 after Grant went down. 

In 2017 he had only 79 touches and 5.2 yards per carry  - because Hackett preferred Grant in a scat-back role and they just drafted a back at #4. 

How is this so difficult for you? 

The Bills, BTW, ran their QB as much as their number 2 running back and had just added Singletary. No shocker he didn't rise beyond that. Doesn't mean he was "never good."  Which was the point you've lost completely. 

He was a "good" committee back who may have done even better in a better environment. I could say that about 27 other backs from the past 8 years of the league. Not sure why you think that is too much praise for the guy. 

I'm not wasting any more keystrokes explaining it to you.
