Kyren Williams led the NFL in rushing yards per game in ‘23 and was 3rd in TD. I know Monday morning quarterbacking is fun and all but man.
Yeah, that was the year he had as good a season as any WR in history. The definition of gamebreaker. And once OBJ went down, the Bengals couldn't stop him even though they knew, and we knew, that the ball was going Kupp's way. Dominant!
I've seen him 3 times in person. Grant it, the NFL has faster players. But Jeanty has game speed. Break-away speed. AND he makes guys miss all the time, can cut on a dime like Barry, (not saying he is as good as B. Sanders) and be gone. Special
Yes, he's much faster than Kyren. That's extremely apparent as he broke off several long ass runs with no one catching him.
Recency bias at work. Barkley was on a different level. So was Gurley, who had size and length at play beside special traits as a runner. Both Barkley and Gurley would go off the board before Jeanty.
I don't think its so bad to give Jeanty praise. Jeanty went bonkers this past year. 2600 plus yards is nothing to sneeze at. I respect MJD's opinion on this one and think Jeanty is going to be a special back. Saying he'll be more special than either Saquon or Gurley is TBD as he will get his chance to prove so.
IDK about recency bias. IIRC he said he gave him a higher grade than he gave Barkley. To be considered close to Barkleu and Gurley is high praise. Time will tell. Too bad the Rams don't have a shot at him.
Barkley's six foot, weighs 230, and ran a 4.4. Jeanty is, again, a fine prospect. But he is no Barkley and only idiot recency media types are going to draw that comparison.
And a whole lot of people are falling for that hype and talking trade up for him. He's a really good back but agree he's no Barkley or Gurley coming into the draft.
I'd like to see the Jags take Warren. That QB could use a security blanket.
As long as said punter punts the ball so hard that the opposing player catching it gets a concussion and fumbles every time, then I'm ok with that lol
