Leshoure

What is all this crying and bitching about?!?!? Leshoure is a solid running back. Seriously what do you expect from a guy coming back from an ACHILLES injury, basically in his rookie year, and an o-line that is not meant for run blocking?!? All this is nonsense and pretty much stupid. You can't compare him to anyone because he isn't going to be all pro right now. Saying he is getting outplayed by Bell is ignorant. Not sure but wasnt Arian Foster an undrafted guy? He has been outplaying 90% of running backs. You can't compare him to Morris because, like someone else said its shanahans scheme. (Ex. Tatum bell, selvin young, and some more). Quit blaming the running game because the O-line can't make holes. Team is still at least 2 years away. Needs a couple drafts to get some guys on d and some o lineman
 
I'm sure an OL would help him but no way I can say Leshoure had a good year. And yeah, in limited time Bell ran well so he did outplay Leshoure.
 
I'll make a note of it that you think Trent Richardson sucks. You and mhughes' ability to judge talent is second to none, Millen.

He might be in the HOF one day, same with Leshoure. I'm just talking one year. Are you really this dense..
 
Because you think Richardson was great this year and you call me a tool, lol. Dude, our best RB in 2012 was Bell. Oh I know, he was coming off a bad injury so he had a better year than his stats show, lol.

Thank you. Someone with a brain.

Oh, and Gary Anderson and a former Lion......Olandis Gary!!!

Not bashing Morris....but Shanahan has a LONG history of taking lower round backs and inserting them successfully into his scheme.
 
Bell was better at running the ball and better at catching the ball, fact. I guess the OL was only good when Bell was running the ball..

Where did I say Richardson was great this year?? Never.

But he is a damn good running back. There is a difference in not having talent and not having a good year. You made it a point to say that the 3.7 YPC average wasn't good enough for a 2nd round pick. Right??

Production by a back has a LOT to do with the talent in front of him and the scheme. You realize that we have a power back in what basically amounts to a spread option offense right?? How many of his 200+ carries were single back shotgun draws??

If you want to make a point, do it intelligently. Don't just point to an almost meaningless stat and his draft position.....

Got is Millen?

If I see a QB play like shit, like Sanchez - I call him shit regardless the lack of weapons he has. Why did Bell run so well, didn't he have the same OL as Leshoure?
 
And I never mentioned draft position. If a guy sucks he sucks whether a 1 pick or UFA.
 
I saw an article yesterday that said Trent played 9 games with broken ribs this year.

Oh this is rich. Coming from someone whose whole argument is "I'm right just because".

Bell ran well. He also had a lot of 4th quarter, down by 10+ carries against prevent/dime defenses.

Also, if you take away his 67 yarder.....he averaged 4.1/carry.

He didn't get any goal line carries either...which lowers an average.

But I do agree with you that Bell ran really well this year, but LeShoure is a better running back.
 
If you say so. And don't forget Bell caught the ball well..

EXACTLY! then why are we trading up to draft a rd 1 rb and then trading up again to draft a rd 2 rb. Cause were fucking dumb....thats why. If you have an offensive line that cant run block go get your undrafted bell and stop wasting high round picks on RBs who end up not being able to produce worth a shit.
