We are all entitled to our opinions. Like I told Xwalker. Based on 2018 numbers, Kamara scores a TD every 15 times he touches the ball. Zeke every 42 times.
Kamara scored more often because the Saints target him more often inside the Red Zone. He's probably their biggest playmaker inside the 20s, unlike Zeke who is more a workload carry horse type of RB. Big difference in types of players. You should know this by now CR. Not a fair assessment comparison to Zeke. I guarantee Kamara can not sustain rushing the football between the tackles all game long like Zeke can. Kamara would end up all broken up and out of the league due to injuries if he were used like we use Zeke. How good would Kamara be then? Wisen up bro.

Have you not been watching Pollard's performances this preseason and regular season? It's all on film, and he's only going to get better.
I never said he is not going to...but to quote size and speed and translate that to how good they will be is asinine.....is he a football player? he seems like it. struggled against Giants, his first NFL game, but did well against Miami.....he will learn.... we have to wait and see.....speed, size, etc. are not indication of how good they will be.....football IQ...emmitt wasn't the fastest or the biggest, but he is the greatest...Michael wasn't the fasted, but he is a HOFer……

This is where you lose credibility in my mind. And your homer spin to everything is ridiculous.

Trying to make a case that Pollard is better than Kamara is laughable.
Pump the brakes on beating X with a bat. He posted facts. Usually does.

Kamara is like a Madden created player. Dude is pretty amazing in my opinion. Pollard could be the next very special player. Time will tell the story.

Well, we get to see the starting RB in New Orleans this sunday that backup Tony Pollard has been compared to coming out of the NFL draft from Memphis State in Alvin Kamara.

Kamara started his impressively stellar career as a rookie behind Mark Ingram who seem to take on more the bell cow bulk and load of the running game while AK spelled him in spots and nickel situations and eventually became a bigger part the more splash plays he made his rookie year, ..soon teams were far more afraid of Kamara than Ingram.

and I’m trying not to go overboard but could Pollard actually have more explosiveness and miss ‘em elusiveness than even Zeke ?

And when do we get to see the level of Pollard’s receiving skills as a weapon in Kellen’s offense ?


LOL....Another Rico story......

The thing that makes Kamara freakier than anything is his balance. He has average size and average speed, but he breaks tackles like a maniac because you simply can't get him off his feet.

I'll believe that Pollard can do this when I see it.

Magnificently ridiclous.

I'm going to start a Michael Gallup/Jerry Rice thread.
erod--Michael Gallup is going to be quality #1receiver by end of year....if we can keep him and Cooper and #18 we will have the most lethal receivers in NFL....and i am not over evaluating in my opinion

PJTHEDOORS let me know that Pollard had food poisoning at the combine. He ran a 4.3 at Memphis' pro-day. So their 40 times are not almost identical.

Just wanted you to have the correct info moving forward.
:thumbup:
Pollard is a beast.....and will only get stronger....pretty soon he and Zeke with cooper and Gallup and Cobb and Witten along with Dak going beast-mode and no defense will know who to defend

Comparison is just as ridiculous as a comparison between Daniel Jones and Dak Prescott would be.

I use Kamara how he should be used, which is out in space. The guy can also run just fine between the tackles. Only an idiot like Garrett pounds a back up the middle 20 times a game for 4 yards a pop.

Like I said, I take Kamara and his style over Zeke. Give me the weapon over the tool.

In this offense, with this line, Pollard could be really good.
