Hall of Famer
We had a 1000 yard rusher, a 700+ yard rusher, and dobbins himself put up 800, and he did it with his first 6 games getting 7, 2, 1, 5, 1, and 9 carries. He didn’t get double digit carries until week 7, and even after that still split a ton of carries with gus and Lamar.Anyone saying, or even merely suggesting, that Dobbins is not at the very least a top 15-20 RB and a possible product of the system are not just wrong, but they’re dumb in their thinking. If anything, he was held back by it. If you noticed, every single time one of the RBs got into a rhythm they were immediately taken out of the game. Which not only stops them from putting up the numbers they are fully capable of, but also caused them to get back out of rhythm, AKA getting them out of their “zone”. So stop. Please just stop.
If dobbins had been the workhorse from week 1 he would’ve had a real shot to come within a few spots of the rookie rushing record, 1500 yards at the rate he was running wasn’t unfathomable at all.
