Amazingly....and hold on to your seats for this one, he did
more than what he was drafted for.
WOW!!
The fact that he was drafted as a change of pace, pass receiving, 3rd down and KR, and that he was great value for that does not obviate him from being more than that, nor does the drafting of someone mean that they are relegated to that role for their entire career.
He was drafted to be Lightning to Johnson's thunder, or Jones to his Barber. And he did that amazingly well when given the opportunity.
Here's the amazingly simplistic fact of the matter. Jamaal Charles is a football player. Larry Johnson is also a football player. When looking at them both in 2009, our FO decided that Johnson > Charles, when droves of people on here, who
themselves did not see the extent of Charles' potential, even then said that Charles was better than LJ, hence my quote from week 2 upon his deactivation.
That's damning
