I mean look at Pacheco. That guys a physical marvel. Went 7th round. Because these guys are ALL freaks. They're all guys who can make people look bad on occasion.
The true difference makers just show those 'flashes' far more often and in far more varied circumstances. CEH needs a seem to open and a LB to be a little hesitant so he can press the gap and then throw that little shimmy in there to undress the guy and teleport for another 8-10 yards. But that's it. That's the only way he shows a 'flash'.
RoJo needs to be able to hit a gap at full speed and with his shoulders square. That's how he'll 'flash'.
But a RB who can truly make a difference can flash in either scenario. Or on the edge. Or in a scrum situation. They can show out in different ways so they show out more often.
I'm done caring about 'flashes' with RBs. Any one of them can look amazing from time to time. That's what makes them JAGS. If they couldn't, they'd be grocery baggers. Or, as tha virus says, Bums.
The difference between a good QB and a bad QB isn't their best throws but rather their worst. The difference between a good pitcher and a bad one isn't how much depth they get on their curveball, it's how often they hang it. You look at average break on curves and changes and stuff and for bad pitchers you'll see bad break numbers. But it isn't because they threw 100 curveballs with no depth. It's because they threw 25 that were as good as anything Kershaw can throw, 25 mediocre ones and 50 piles of trash. So when the numbers added up his 'average' curveball had very little movement. But that's not demonstrative of how the pitch actually behaves.
Just as is the case with JAG RBs who 'show flashes'. I just don't care about the moment the stars align for them right before they go back to ticking off 2 yards/carry.
