Johnathan Stewart the most elusive back in NFL, DWill ranked 9th

PFF rates the most elusive backs in the NFL the past 3 seasons and we have 2 of the top 10 with Johnathan Stewart being #1 and Deangelo Williams at #9. Mike Tolbert also made the list at #15. The NFC South has a strong showing overall with Michael Turner at #3, Pierre Thomas at #7, and Jason Snelling at #8.

Note that elusive in their view means forcing missed tackles and getting extra yards.

Is their really a guy watching every game and every snap a player makes to see how many tackles he misses? if so i want to meet that guy and shake his hand for having the most boring job in the world.

ya I dont know if Id call it elusive but it is most certainly syntactically correct right? I would say he is the hardest to tackle, and if you combine that with no fumbles and good blocking, Im pretty sure you could make a case for best RB in the league.

PFF also ranks him as one of the worst blocking RB's in the league....so there's that

    • It’s like being on the Flyers broadcast team feed so far
    • Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.
    • I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
