Yep. In fairness to CEH most RB's need to carry the ball 20-25 times a game to get a rhythm and that isn't going to happen with Reid especially with Mahomes as our QB. So you better take advantage of the limited opportunities you do get.

The point is, dude was well proven. It didn't take him 3 years to figure it out. He was rushing for like 4.-something YPC even as a back up. Your point was silly. It's not comparable at all.

20 carries/gm is 320 carries. One runningback had that many last season. Only 6 got even 15 carries/gm. Guys get carries because the running game is working. The running game isn't working because guys get carries. If Edwards-Helaire can't figure out a way to be efficient on 15 yards/carry, he's just not a very good runningback. There are lots of guys in the NFL that make that work and work well. Right now Clyde has a Clyde problem.

I said it doesn't take 3 years to develop a RB. You came at me with some snarky bullshit about never seeing Priest Holmes play, insinuating that it took years for Priest Holmes to develop. I showed you, which you evidently didn't realize, that Priest had already well proven himself as an NFL caliber runner well before he came to KC. Now you wanna argue about stats, from entirely different eras of football in entirely different teams running entirely different systems? Get it together, man.

Yes and no. Guys can typically run the ball out of the gates (which is why CEH is catching hell, rightfully) but pass pro, especially Reid pass pro takes some time. |

CEH hasn't even played a full season's worth of games yet.
And sometimes any player can have a slow start. Even HOFers (and I'm not saying CEH should be/will be a HOFer). The Hall is littered with them. Thurman Thomas and Jerry Rice immediately come to mind. Whatever. CEH is obviously talented, and he's shown enough from last season that I think he'll be okay by mid-season. Whining about his performance yesterday smacks of panic.

If Clyde was 6th round pick, people wouldn’t be arguing about this.
It’s because he was drafted in the first round that is upsetting people. Chiefs have wasted a lot of high(1-3 rounds) picks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe for a power back like Derrick Henry. I don't see that with CEH. I sure hope it's just too early in the season and CEH still has ptsd from the poor interior blocking last year. But he just flat out seems to be missing his holes. Doesn't look like a rhythm thing.

You know what it smacks of? It smacks of acknowledging what actually happened out there yesterday. There isn't an ounce of panic in this thread. No one is going to panic over a RB when Mahomes is your damn QB.

In all seriousness if CEH doesn't improve here in the next few games we need to look at other options. |
