hell, with that logic, Mostert is a top 3 rb
Mostert has the second most rushing yards in the league the past two yrs?
and disagree on better route runner. BA is a stud, so is Lamb there. Per PFF Lamb was #1 vs man coverage last yr.
No, the more important stat, touchdowns. Not to mention, he had to split a lot of reps which McCaffrey did not have to do. Mostert led the league in rushing touchdowns and he didn't even play every game. Like we all are saying you were using stats to prop up lamb over Aiyuk which is a mistake because BA is obviously a better route runner than lamb, which is backed up by almost every route running rating efficiency rating. It's also pretty easy to see using the eye test as well.
BA will never get that many targets on this team so it doesn't really matter but saying that Lamb is close to as good of a route runner, or better, is not accurate at all, especially since a lot of his routes are in the slot vs weaker dbs
Anyways, back to training camp news, I hope Puni wins the right guard position so we can consider Feliciano at center because I'm sick of watching Brendel fly get pushed around.
