Not to knock the OP but this is a regular occurrence on the Huddle...great thread title which hooks the readers, a link to the article, zero analysis. I don't want to click on the link. Just tell me what you read and your analysis.  We can all make threads like this but don't bc we know how to read. Thread creation should always lend itself to some semblance of analysis. 

Like I said...the thread hooked me but I left immediately...maybe not immediately, I wrote this. 

Well clearly you didn't leave immediately... you posted a comment first.

Wait.  

So people were complaining about Foreman's fumbling (was even a thread created on here for it). Yet he had a better fumble ratio than some of those people favorite Cook

I like it when someone provides a link to a interesting analysis or article.  I don't really have the time to search through every article on the web about the Panthers, and one of the reasons I come here is that it provides a central repository of articles.   If the poster wants to add to it, so be it.  If not, then that is ok as well.

Virtually all RBs who are good at gaining yards after contact are going to fumble a bit more often. It's a catch 22. You want RBs who can fight through contact and you want RBs who hang onto the football, but RBs are going to put the ball on the ground more often while trying to fight through contact.

Eh people just like taking jabs a Stewart right now. It's his fault the running game fell off. Not the poor o-line play. Not the predictable offense. Not Cam being banged up and one dimensional. Not having a FB that runs away from blocks.

All Stewarts fault.

Jamaal Williams with that Elite ball protection 

He's one that I've had my eye on.  Draft profiles of him have been inconsistent, but I think that he opened a lot of eyes in his bowl game against Wyoming. Bill Polian talked him up at the Senior Bowl practices also.

I like him. I wonder if he'll get a workout.

AP has a career 66.2 fumble rate, far worse than Fournette.  AP is red flag category.

Let me destroy your pathetic attempt to skew stats. When you carry the ball over 300 times a season with over 18 TDs 7 fumbles or lower is miniscule. So try harder because fournette fumbled 23 times in college in one season. LBs are going to feast on him in the NFL.

Sorry that my post embarrassed you so much but your post just couldn't go unchallenged, especially since it was/is so wrong.  Ironically, the only thing that's skewed is the 66.2-only the 2010/2011 seasons with a total of two fumbles pulling the average "up" to 66.2 for what has been a career of "red flag" utterly horrific, if not, historic, fumblitis.  Hyperbole?  I think not. His 41.1 rating in 2009 and OT fumble against the Bears late in the year forced them to go on the road to New Orleans, where he fumbled 3 times, forcing them to bench him in the most important moments for their franchise in decades.

Do you not know you have lost? 23 fumbles in college in one season to 39 lifetime in the NFL doesn't compare.

Where the **** are you getting your stats???  Les Miles said he was one of the surest ball handlers he's ever had, and even the fumbles he did have were likely due to a lack of preseason reps.

Look at Matt Dayes. 3rd Rd sup pick, he could be ours.

Interestingly enough in the 2015 draft CAP fumble rate was 136.0 while David Johnson's was 77.5.

Needless to say Johnson is probably the most complete back in the league along with being a great slot receiver.
