Im sorry but i think a big reason why our run game and offensive line is half as good as it was, is because of well.... hoov.

And i know there are not many proper full backs in the league anymore but damn, thoughts?

Are you even watching Fiameta or did you just think .."hmm since Hoover left it doesn't seem like we run as well anymore?" Not trying to diss or anything I'm just curious.

It's not like Hoover was an instant impact player, it took him a while to get the gist of it, same with Fiametta.

I wouldn't even say he was a impact player, because in reality he really didn't run or catch enough to be one in that sense but he did spring alot of runs so i get that, but he just strikes me as the type of guy in the huddle on 3rd and short and says run it up the middle as he points to the running back and says follow me.

and i also feel like the running backs trusted hoover more then fiametta which could be a big reason why we are half as good at running now

Hoover became a huge impact player but run blocking FB is a thankless position where stats don't tell the story.

I like Fiametta, but he's still learning too and with the new offense I wouldn't count on seeing too much of him.

Hey, im not saying Fiametta is bad or anything like that matter a fact i think he can become our next brad hoover.... the question was more along the lines of, do you think a brad hoover level full back is what is holding us back from what we are capable of?

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
