How come when Blount doesn't do well you say, they should have played Gray, but when Gray doesn't do well you say well Blount would have sucked too.
Gray is a young running back who had an amazing game and has had some nice runs since, and some very poor ones. He has not been given many chances by the coaching staff, who sees him every day in practice, which has led some people to think that BB is punishing him, at the detriment of the team, which is of course completely idiotic. It has also led some posters to completely overrate him.
Right now the coaching staff thinks Blount is better. They are not punishing Gray, and you people who keep thinking Gray is better are simply wrong. For some unknown reason, there is a large group of posters here who have spent the last two years ripping Blount. Last year Ridley was better, this year Gray is better. Last year the idiotic coaching staff wasn't playing Ridley, once again to the detriment of the team, to punish him for his fumbles. Of course Blount had a higher YPC than Ridley did, but that didn't really count. This year Gray is better. Perhaps one day you all will wake up and realize that he is pretty good.
Just for comparison, out of the all time top 20 running backs to play in the NFL, based on total yards carried, only three of them, #3 Barry Sanders, 5.0, #9 Jim Brown 5.2, and #19 OJ Simpson, 4.7 have a higher average YPC than Blount does.
