Yet another homer in total denial. Your ypc stats stats dont mean crap. Thats all you have! Lomo has no td's , he has yet to have a big game vs BAD defensive teams, he does not catch the ball , and to top it off he is hurt way to much. Yea Lomo has a nice ypc. We also have a monster passing game which gives him the better ypc stat. Thats when the guy actually touches the rock. No td's after nine games for a "star" first round back? With this passing game? Oh please.
I hope he can overcome this. If not he is not a starting back on this team in a few years. We need a guy who is dependable. Woo is a horse. Worthy of being picked in the first round.
Marshawn Lynch is a back worthy of his first round tag. Addai is worthy. Petterson is worthy. Jones frekin Drew who was picked in the second round is better then Maroney right now.
And again, you go with nonsense rather than facts.
Addai has had 20 carries or more in 5 games (Yes, he missed a game due to injury, and might have missed 2 games, but the bye came at the right time. ADDAI IS MADE OF GLASS!), along with a 19 carry and 16 carry game. This is because the Colts don't platoon in the same manner the Patriots do. They don't have a Kevin Faulk on the roster. Now......
In the 7 games Addai has played in, he's gotten only 4 100 yard games, not 7. Shockingly enough, his "big games" are tied to a combination of # of carries and yards per carry, the two things you keep ignoring. So, let's compare the two backs:
Week 1
Addai: : 23 carries 118 yards 5.1 ypc
Maroney: 20 carries 72 yards 3.6 ypc
Week 2
Addai: 20 carries 81 yards 4.1 ypc
Marney: 15 carries 77 yards 5.1 ypc
Week 3
Addai: 22 carries 72 yards 3.3 ypc
Marney: 19 carries 103 yards 5.4 ypc
Week 4
Addai: 19 carries 136 yards 7.2 ypc
Marney: DNP
Week 5
Addai: DNP
Marney: DNP
Week 6
Addai: DNP
Marney: DNP
Week 7
Addai: 16 carries 85 yards 5.3 ypc
Marney: 6 carries 31 yards 5.2 ypc
Week 8
Addai: 23 carries 100 yards 4.3 ypc
Marney: 14 carries 75 yards 5.4 ypc
Week 9
Addai: 26 carries 112 yards 4.3 ypc
Marney: 15 carries 59 yards 3.9 ypc
In other words, in 4 games out of 6 played, Maroney had averaged better than 5 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Addai has averaged better than 5 yards per carry in only 3 out of 7 games played. So, to sum up this little exercise, Maroney has been the more consistently good runner this year, while Addai has had one great game running (7.2 ypc) and been more up and down than Maroney.
Or, in other words, your argument still doesn't hold water.
