CJ has never been as good as Charles. Never. He's a guy who depends on big runs to have decent YPC. Take his last game for instance. With his big run, he averaged I think 5.8 ypc. Take it away and you have 1.4 ypc.

With Charles, he averaged 10+ ypc today. And even without it, he'd still average 6.7 ypc.

CJ has never been able to do that. Charles can consistently run for 4-10 yards. CJ consistently runs for less than 2 yards and then breaks a 80 yarder to boost his ypc.

ok I disagree

CJ was a much hungrier runner his first two years in the league...

Now he goes down too easily and shies away from contact. CJ is a guy they should compliment with someone else these days. I also don't really understand why their coordinator no longer sets up screens for him or uses him as a receiver but whatever.

But yeah...CJ and JC used to run a lot alike.

With that contract, as a running back, can you blame him?

One of the dumbest deals in recent history and why gms never want to offer those deals anymore.

Agreed. The only real hole in JC's game is TD's.

How is that a hole in his game?

Most top runningbacks average more TD's a year for their careers than Jamaal has had in his best season. He'll, quite a lot will have more in a season than he's had in his entire career.

Where and Adrian Peterson or Arien Foster scores every 22-23 carries, Charles is more like every 45.

I don't think it's his fault, more how he's used. Multiple coaches, and none of them use him on goal line.

Mostly it's because he's played in shitty offenses that don't get inside the 20 a lot.

And he's played with Bowe, who gets a lot of goal line TDs.
