Adam Schefter Explains How the Bears Masterfully Played the Trub Trade

[Manster7588]

Who missed 4 games last year?

McNabb drinks a lot, cut him some slack.

 

[mcnabb7542]

Look at you being all rational.

I am trying not to be one sided any more......

BD pointed out a stat, and time frame and I went to fact check is comment....

No.....I'm on a diet and cut out the booze, ( weight falling off of me left and right)


Who knew drink beer every day could added on the pounds...

Howard did!

OK, then your going through withdrawals, = cut you some slack.
Good luck with the weight loss. I know I can afford to lose a few pounds.

 

[Manster7588]

Howard did!

Actually no he didn't. He had limited carries in a few but he played in 15 games.

You guys will not know the full cost of the trade until next years draft.

It'll be at least three seasons before anyone knows how this trade truly played out (in terms of favorability)

Ok, well to put it in perspective, Elliott had 70 more carries than Howard.


About how many games you think that equates to for a starting back?

2.5 or 3. What's your point? Is my post wrong in anyway?

 

[WayfaringStranger]

Why are Cowboys fans so defensive about.... everything?

Can't Elliott and Howard both be considered very good RBs?

Why does the discussion always devolve into a "mine is better than yours" debate?

It's disingenuous and you know it. Someone mentions 4 games, and you act like it's an absurdity.

2.5 games in a perfect running back world, wherein said back gets 25 carries every game. Even then, it's a solid 3 games.

It's closer to 3.5 games, which is pretty goddamned close to 4 games.


Either way, for anyone to suggest Zeke is on some holy plain that Howard can't even see, let alone exist on, is a homer or full of it.

I hate the Cowboys.

But I think we should be accurate in the claims we make.

Jordan Howard played in 15 games. Zeke had 33 more carries than anyone else in the league and one of the highest carry totals in the last few years. So suggest that Howard would have matched that number had he been completely healthy seems dubious to me.

70 more carries than Howard.

Health had nothing to do with it. Howard was a 5th round pick, and thus started the season as the 3rd stringer.

Gotcha.

My point is: This is being debated in a thread about the Bears, 49ers, and Mitch Trubiski.

Well I guess we'll see how many carries he gets this year.

FTR, I am indifferent to who the better RB is.

Zeke's a beast, I have no reservations in saying that. I just don't get the scoffing at the mention of Howard? Dude averaged 5.2 ypc, and was second to Zeke by 318 yards with 70 less attempts.

I'd say last season, they were about sixes.

 

[beardown07]

Back on topic....Trubisky is going to buttfuck the NFL's girlfriend, and leave cab fare on her dresser.

 

[Manster7588]

Gotcha.

You might want to see who brought Zeke and Howard into the conversation.

"He started it"

What is this 3rd grade? Are you incapable of letting a Cowboys related comparison go unresponded to?

 

[mcnabb7542]

I know but they still didn't use him....
