Re: Ranking the NFC South: Running backs
It's very odd that they would rank Carolina's Running Backs #1 in the division.
Fozzy Whittaker is their only RB that averaged more than 4.0 ypa. Stewart averaged a measly 3.8 ypa. Cam's rushing ability is a huge factor in game planning but in reality, last year he ranked 5th in total rushing yards for QBs and had a very pedestrian 4.0 ypa. If you remove him from the rushing totals for the team, the Panthers rushing attack was in the bottom quarter of the league. Removing QB rushing totals, Falcons 1,811 Saints 1,722 Panthers 1,455 Bucs 1,448 When you add in receiving yards, the difference is even more distinct. RB receiving yards: Falcons 946 Saints 884 Bucs 469 Panthers 369 Atlanta has a legitimate argument that they have the best RB duo in the league. I don't see a single statistic that would indicate Carolina RBs are the best in the division. Teope may be expecting big things from McCaffery but I don't think it's realist to think he will single handedly vault the Panthers RB unit from below average to the best in the division. |
