Only way it goes up is if Dallas is blowing teams out consistently.
using the word far is the problem here there isn't that big a gap are you kidding me Pollard yards per carry his explosiveness and big plays almost match Barkley they're very similar in their games maybe not their lower bodies but Tony Pollard is being underrated here which is crazy and then you have people overrating calling saquon Barkley generational when his numbers do not look like that at all he just looks like a very good to great running back and so does Tony Pollard and many others right now that are not elite and they're not generational they're just really good you say that word for the special players not the ones who are just really good...
That was my only issue. The by far and not close garbage. These dudes can't back up how far Barkley is better so they keep going in circles instead of saying they may have exaggerated lol even though I personally think they're just wrong and Pollard is better. But he does nothing better than Barkley? Laughable
Tony's a good RB, but until you are the "featured" #1 RB and get full on game planned...its just potential. Regardless of "committee".
We both know all you can go by is what they've done up to this point and we've seen what Tony Pollard can do we've seen his skill set and it is very close to saquan Barclays regardless of he hasn't been the clear number one.. Of course that will prove itself out but right now all we have to go by is what we're going by and I think most of us who say there's not that big a gap are correct.. Now at the end of the season if you wanna go back and revisit this and it turns out Tony Pollard can't do it then we will say that but right now we're going by what we've seen.
Agreed. I'd compare Pollard more to Aaron Jones.
If he's the type to not consistently make positive plays he will be a complete bust cause he won't get more then 5 touches a game through out his career. Saquon is big and powerful and wears out OLines, Duece will never be that type. A dream scenario he would turn out as a Darren Sproles type that came in a couple plays a game and hurt you. But they aren't going to keeping feeding him the ball til he breaks a long run. He needs to come in on 3rd and long screens and make a big play.
The stats I mentioned aren't cherry-picked. They're the ONLY stats that consistently relate to game outcomes.
I agree. I see no comparison to a bruising feature back who has accumulated 4300 yards, 247 catches for nearly 2000 yards in 4 season to a part time, change of pace back with 1/2 the carries, half the yards and half the catches. Pollard is a fantastic player but we have no idea if he can carry the load while also be effective in pass protection.
Yeah, I'm the one struggling to understand evidence.
WON'T Get more than 5 touches ?? lmao umm ok nostradamus..
"we "both" know all can you go by what they have done up to this point"?
You are welcome to your opinion and there's no need to be upset about my opinion. There's a reason he went late after putting up those prolific numbers. He's just too small to get a lot of carries. I mean he's still a long shot to even get a few carries because outside of a great run in preseason he pretty much got shut down.WON'T Get more than 5 touches ?? lmao umm ok nostradamus..
First of all you must be in New York giant fan, I'll probably ignore you anyway...
you know put you on ignore my block list...
I'm not dealing with other people's fans in here...
however you use these words that are set in concrete.... you think that deuce Vaughn won't get more than five touches a game, hmm are you kidding me you don't even know if that's going to hold true or not he could get 10 he could even get 15 if Tony power gets hurt you think of his size he won't be able to deal with it and I'm telling you we saw him in a big time college setting be able to do it 5000 scrimmage yards in college, he was the leading running back in the draft for receiving yards, MVP of the big12 CG he ruined TCU regular season. You do realize even though there is some comparisons to Darren Sproles, that doesn't mean it's gonna parallel that he could be a better back than Darren Sproles possibly that's why you gotta keep it open these concrete words like won't or just ridiculous because it's your opinion doesn't make it set in stone you're guessing and we already seen how brittle Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey and Kamara are at their size but yeah I don't see any injury history for deuce Vaughn.it's not like he played for Saint Mary's Division Three school, bro... he played in the Big 12, he played well against Oklahoma, Texas, and Alabama Plus again beat TCU and was the Big 12 championship game MVP, the man has played real snaps. he's not a gimmick guy.So no one knows right now what he can or can't do or what the Cowboys plan for him but to say he's only gonna get five touches is ridiculous he may be like that the first three games or so but when he makes a big player too just like Tony Pollard worked his way into the lineup more and more because he forced his way in he made the coaches take Elliot off the field more than they wanted to.. And that could very much well happen with deuce Vaughn because you're sleeping on the guy it's ridiculous that you're gonna say won't get more than five snaps that's insane.. He was a full time starter at running back in college 5000 scrimmage yards that we need to keep talking about the fact that he's not injury prone so his size has not mattered up to this point...
I mean Barry Sanders wasn't that much bigger than deuce Vaughn I know there is some difference but it wasn't that big as you think we're talking about maybe 2 1/2 inches and 10 or 15 pounds. Induce Vaughn runs very similarly to these other guys so his size may not even be a problem he may end up being better than Darren Sproles as an NFL player we just don't know that sometimes it's a man's makeup how he keeps his body you know like the difference between Terrell Owens and some of the other guys it was noticeable of how he use nutrition and the latest and greatest technologies to keep himself in shape there are some guys even if they look similar that they can handle more because of the way they take care of themselves and the fact is deuce Vaughn came from a sports family his father and other family members play big time sports.. That may well help him be slightly better than even Darren Sproles he just needs his chance and the words won't not work with me....
so let's just let the season play out, we can revisit this conversation after the season, who was closer to being correct...
Pollard was above average in pass protection last year in Kellen's offense. (pff graded him better than Zeke) McCarthy's offense doesn't ask as much of the RBs because the ball is out quicker. They will more often be sent out on routes.
You mean wins and they just correlate better. Football is a complex game with many contributing factors. And yeah they were cherry picked based on your preference.
no you are not, go away, you still butthurt EZ is a Pat so you response with name calling must be called out. Its a fact... is it a fact because you can only use all relative stats you have up to this point, numbers IE tony pollard say he is very close to SB in all ways.. he literally nearly split the Carries & still put up Christian McCaffrey type numbers. you don't think by then defenses were keying on TP or u think oh hes 2 let's ignored him..lol i'm sorry that i'm looking at this unbiased & can put McCaffrey, kamara, Barkley and tony pollard in the same sentence as very very close in type of back and production.
you mean like the other hundreds of players that were simply overlooked?? you think that that's not unheard of ....the ones that went in the first round. FACT. Brady, purdy, romo, warner just to name few been few RBs also
651 carries
