330 of 353 receiving yards have come AFTER the CATCH.. That is 93% of his receiving yards are YAC..
Just think on that for awhile..
330 of 353 after the catch......doesn't that just mean he catches the ball at or behind the line of scrimmage? Isn't that to be expected of an RB?
Trust me, I like White too, I guess I'm just not as impressed by that as you are.
It's almost like if he did catch a long bomb 50 yards down the field you would be disappointed by that because it would ruin this stat.
YAC, in and of itself, may not have anything to do with where you catch it but if, as the poster says, he is making most or all of his catches at or behind the line of scrimmage, then all the yardage he gains is YAC, making this stat that you find so impressive, less impressive.I'm dumbstruck by your statements. As a veteran poster, you should know what YAC and that it has nothing to do with where he catches the ball. And your statement about a 50 yard bomb is just silly..

I remember now when i posted White was better than Vereen and got flamed for it.
Right now he is better than Vereen ever was here. Vereen can run the outside vertical route better but that is it. Give me White any day. Also I dislike how so many people on this board talk about White like he is just a stand in for Lewis. He really is so much more than that and one of the best 3rd down backs in the NFL in his own right.

Still happy to say I was a James White proponent going all the way back to last season when he emerged as our pass catching back post-Dion injury. It was clutch to have him instead of using Bolden and he was one of the few pieces holding together the passing game for TB12 when we were ravaged by injuries.
That's why I was astounded when there was chatter of him being on the bubble or getting cut. This season has only further enhanced my opinion of him.
Very reliable player.
