Melvin Gordon stinks. Jeremy Langford is great.

[kramer1]

2 Big Ten rb's. Both rookies. One can't gain 3 yards to save his life, but was supposed to be a stud.

I don't buy that it's "the scheme" or "the line." Some guys just don't translate well to the NFL. Like Reggie Bush for instance.

It's a shame Langford is stuck behind Forte.

Wisconsin has always had beastly offensive linemen (many of which are currently in the NFL) which has caused Wisconsin RBs to be overdrafted, but I really thought Gordon would be different. He did not just have a great college career behind that line, he had one of the best seasons in college football history.

That's what I get for drafting him on my fantasy team. It was my fault everyone!

Hahaha. Well done.

Yeah, Ron Dayne. What a stinker.

 

[kramer1]

Wait...Dayne Nebraska or Wisconsin? I always get those mixed up.

In fairness to Gordon, the Chargers have been starting 3 backups on the O-line since week 1, and two of those are backups to backups. But yeah, hasn't done much so far.

do wisconsin RBs ever pan out?

Just looked at the list....nope. Not a single one has ever done a damn thing. Not ever.

 

[The Derski]

8 games into his career and the dude is a bust. Do you guys ever read what you write and think "I sound a bit stupid right now"?

wisconsin RB's and alabama QB's

never trust em

I'm not saying their schools have a great track record at the position but I'm also not gonna start a thread about who's a bust and who's not when the players are literally 8 games into their career. The Chargers O line is hot garbage.

 

[Tharvot]

Doesn't help that he's running behind one of the worst O-lines in the NFL. His predecessor couldn't gain a yard to save his life either and seems to be tearing it up in Philly now.

But if you reverse it you get two of Seattle's best ever.

[boltfan72]

Not sure I understand the point about Wisconsin and the NFL. Does that mean teams shouldn't pick RB's from Wisconsin? Should the Chargers have passed on Tomlinson because TCU never produced a good running back? Should the Colts have passed on Marshall Faulk because no decent running back ever came from San Diego State?

I demand we add USC and UF QB's to the list.

The OL makes all the difference.

I am still 'traumatized' by Matt Cassel, Leinart, and Barkley. Did I mention Sanchize?

no, but consistent failures on drafitng from a school are a red flag. shit, i mean mcnair went to akron...gems can be found...

but drafting a RB from WI or a QB from alabama has its inherent risks.
