The guy in front of Lynch now is averaging 4.4 and he is averaging 3.1 ypc. That tells me he is the problem. Overall may be lower because he shares carries, but the per carry average shouldn't be effected.

Last year in Buffalo, the guy in front of and the guy behind Lynch both averaged 4.5 while he averaged 3.8 ypc.

There is no other conclusion, he sucks.

And here lies some of the issues with stats themselves.. we have no idea what situations both run in.. I am not making an argument in support of Lynch, because honestly I don't know for myself because I don't watch the SeaChickens.

But if Lynch is being used in short yardage and goal line situations more heavily than others.. his YPC will be effected.

This is why stats alone drive me crazy.. they reflect little in terms of the game situations players are put in.

Lynch very well may be unmotivated or an ill fit into the offense or simply over-rated... but using a single stat line to justify just doesn't seem to fit. IMO.

See this is where stats don't prove a point, all 3 of those backs share the backfield. So of course their stats will be lower

You raise a good point. I haven't looked this up but off vague recollections, Big Ben doesn't post particularly impressive passing stats yet is obviously a winner, and you see other qbs who post big #s due to garbage time (Arod in 2008 was criticized for this).

At the same time, it's difficult to objectively critique differences amongst players w/o using stats to some extent. I acknowledge flaws with this 'analysis' and I'm also not saying Bjack is the long-term solution. To be honest, I've been underwhelmed by him. The point I was trying to make with this thread is that the other big names that were rumored to be on the Packer radar this year haven't appeared to do anything extraordinary, or at least not enough to justify 3rd round + picks/James Jones, etc.

beast (20h) : Seems like he was just pissed because he was no longer the starter

beast (20h) : Campbell is right, he's rich and he doesn't have to explain sh!t... but that attitude gives teams reasons to never sign him again.

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I have some doubt about all that

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I read De'Vondre Campbell's tweet this morning (via the New York Post) Florio says that if he invested his earnings wisely, he will be good

beast (20-Feb) : I haven't followed, but I believe he's good when healthy, just hasn't been able to stay healthy.

dfosterf (20-Feb) : Hasn"t Bosa missed more games than he has played in the last 3 years?

Mucky Tundra (19-Feb) : He hasn't been too bad when healthy but I don't feel like I ever heard much about when he is

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : If the exploit is not fixed, we'll see tons of "50 top free agents, 50 perfect NFL team fits: We picked where each should sign in March" lo

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Issue should be solved, database cleaned and held strong working / meeting. Boom!

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : It should be halted now.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : usually spambots are trying to get traffic to shady websites filled with spyware; the two links being spammed were to the Packers website

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : you know when you put it that way combined with the links it was spamming (to the official Packers website)

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yep. You can do that with holding down ENTER on a command in Console of browser

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : even with the rapid fire posts?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : I'm not certain it's a bot.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I've got to go to work soon which is a pity because I'm enthralled by this battle between the bot and Zero

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, I see what that did. Kind of funny.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : now it's a link to Wes Hodkiezwicz mailbag

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : They got 118 slapped in there.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : that's why it confused the hell out of me

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, but this is taking a headline and slapping it into the Packers Talk

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Wasnt there a time guests could post in the help forum?
