The numbers dont tell the whole story here.
Clydes TD run, he was untouched. Literally any RB could have had the same result. If that play had went to Pacheco or McKinnon, Clydes numbers would be more representative of his playing ability.
2nd and 1, give the ball to Clyde = 3rd and 1. Its a wasted down. Clyde generally gains 0-2 yards. It is so frustrating. He NEVER makes a big play out of a huge hole and NEVER makes a big play on his own. He is the definition of JAG.
I know, look at his YPC you say. You cant take away his best run and then use those numbers.
Hear me out, ANY RB could run for a 16 yard TD when they arent touched. Also the YPC are more attributed to the O line opening holes that should turn into long runs but Clyde generally gets 5 yards or so making his YPC look decent.
I dont know if Pacheco is the answer but watching the two it certainly looks like Pacheco is the better runner. Much harder to bring down, rarely gains zero yards even when hit in the backfield. Much faster than Clyde, quicker than Clyde and feels like he will break off a big one if given more chances.
Naming Pacheco the starter is NOT the same as making him the starter. Until he gets a game as the starter, I mean 15-20 carries, we will be having this same conversation.
