Can we stop the Tavon Austin fumble narrative?

His fumble rate on offense for his career is better than:
Zeke 2016
Dez Career
Jay Ajayi 2017

Fumble Percentage On Offense:
1.32% Tavon Austin Career
1.41% Zeke 2016
0.96% Zeke Career
2.50% Jay Ajayi 2017
1.22% Jay Ajayi Career

This one has facts in it.

Yours was a Supermarket Tabloid type of thread.


My first post was comprised of stats I looked up and a question to the forum. The stats:
Rushing, 00.6% (184 carries, 1 fumble)
Receiving 02% (194 receptions, 4 fumbles)
Punt Returns 11% (158 returns, 17 fumbles)
Kickoff Returns 0% (18 returns, 0 fumbles)

You repeated my stats and borrowed conclusions others had already made...and tried starting a new thread with it.

Maybe it’s best we forget this happened?

In five seasons as a punt returner Austin has fumbled 17 times. He’s fumbled 4 times as a receiver and just once as a runner. In limited kickoff return duty he’s never fumbled.

With greater clarity we can see the historical risk in terms of percentage
Rushing, 00.6% (184 carries, 1 fumble)
Receiving 02% (194 receptions, 4 fumbles)
Punt Returns 11% (158 returns, 17 fumbles)
Kickoff Returns 0% (18 returns, 0 fumbles)

I don't know, maybe google the what "fact" is? Why because the post above has about the same number of them as yours.

Agreed. This could have easily been discussed there.

express the meaning of (the writer or speaker or something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity.

How many of the punt fumbles are muffs and how many are actually fumbles? Without that information, the numbers are useless. For actual fumbles, and not muffs, it is irrelevant which they came on, they are still fumbles.

The context of the fumbles is important. Was he returning thinking no one was around him and carrying it like loaf of bread, was it a muff.

Thank you for dispelling this ridiculous narrative.
