Even more proof of this is that nobody questions Gurley's status as a top RB, and yet the Rams still rushed less than the Seahawks.
Wilson probably also got his fair share of yards too to spike that number.
BTW, love the nice little specialized shot "another change of pace RB who is bad in pass pro?". That's all you could come up with......
Here's something for you to remember ramsfan:
Any 49er RB on last year's roster or this year's roster would have done more in the SB than your s*** Gurley or CJ Anderson. And if not, it's the garbage scheme your little brother McVay prepared that wasn't ready for the big leagues yet.
You would lose that bet. Seattle was 4.8 ypc, Rams 4.9 and 49ers 4.5. Seattle had 15 rushing TDS rams 23 and 49ers 7. So you could argue Rams had a better rushing attack than Seattle. But 49ers could make no such claim. Not even close.
And yes you have three speed backs with questionable durability and are bad in pass pro. There is a reason when Freeman went down last year they did not make Coleman the bell cow. The immortal Ito Smith sometimes got more totes. Out of Colemans 14 starts he logged 7 where he did not even average 4.0ypc.
I know that you're probably from St. Louis or LA so simple concepts might be hard for you to understand so let me try and break it down for you.
This thread was made to rank position groups. A team's rushing average has nothing to do with the point of this thread. Do you believe the Ravens have a better RB group that the Rams? Because by your logic they do.
And I know even a Rams fan can understand why the Seahawks and Ravens had the top 2 rushing offenses. Just think about it for a sec and get back to me.
The Rams had one of the best offensive lines while also having a great defense to get the ball back to them. Everything about the Rams was better for their RBs to produce compared to the 49ers. This is a team sport, every position group has an impact on each other.
Let me also remind you that we were down to our 4th-5th string RBs last year. You essentially add Mckinnon, Coleman, and Mostert from last year back all healthy.
So if you disagree with the rankings so be it, but even a Rams fan can understand why the 49ers had the stats they did last year and why they will improve and the Rams Rbs will have a tougher go at it this year.
Btw it's gonna be awesome to see bandwagon Rams fans disappear as they went all in last year and laid the biggest egg in the Superbowl ever. I applauded the rams for going all in, but the negative side of it is now the Rams are gonna have issues with building a roster now they have to pay overrated Goff and can't afford to buy a championship. The Rams window has closed, and I'm sure during the season we will see less and less of you because of it.
