Stewart most elusive back in NFL

I love Stewart, we all do. He's not the most elusive back in the nfl though.....

Yards after contact plays a large role in their calculation, and how many times have we seen Stew pinball his way to an additional 3-4 years on his way to the ground?

Since it's context appropriate...

Ranked no.1 in the league by PFF, ahead of Fred Jackson, Forte, AP, etc. Can we get him some more carries Chud?

In years past DeAngelo was 1 of the top ranked most elusive, ranked higher than JStew. The stat is interesting, but not a functional stat like yards per carry average. Elusiveness does not always translate into a high YPC. You can notice that by the fact that D-Will has a higher YPC avaerage that JStew, yet only 8 more attempts rushing this year.

This is not a knock on JStew, more on the fact that there is a stat for everything & some are made just to keep more statiticians employed. ;)

Yeah, he's really elusive. Hard for the defense to hit him when he's standing on the sideline all game.

:lol:

True. Why both he & D-Will do not have more yards is d/t to the scheme & focus on the passing game. We have 2 of the best RBs in the league...USE THEM! (sorry for screaming)

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
