UHHH JT and other tards freaking out, he said Thomas is 18th IN THIS STAT, not the 18th ranked RB in the conference. Seriously you guys know the difference right?
This is why I stay away from the football board
fans are generally stupid
Well in his chart he has DT as the 18th. Which I agree with you does not say that he thinks thomas is the 18th best RB. He also has this little section that says that it's surprising that DT is ranked that low. Then he goes on and explains how it isn't surprising and SUPPORTS the fact that he is a complete moron.
Here.
"Thomas was also a bit inconsistent last season. Against a number of bad run defenses, he should have been expected to put up good numbers, but in terms of 'output versus expected,' the benefits he got from averaging 5.5 yards per carry against Oklahoma were offset by averaging 3.4 against Missouri and 3.8 against a terrible Iowa State run defense.
"Plus, he was indeed only average in terms of explosiveness (1.77 highlight yards/carry). He got good run blocking and took advantage of it, but he didn't do a ton on his own."
Probably the biggest surprise of this list. It's worth noting that Kansas State had an above average offensive line in 2009 (more on this in a later blog) and that Thomas had 11 TDs in 246 carries."
I personally like the part about the never misleading stat highlight yards/carry.
