I don’t see much talk about Pacheatcode becoming the new #1

I'm sure it's mere coincidence that the coaches don't give him the ball in tighter spots.

But man, how shitty is that? Guy is getting 6 carries on 1st and 10 every game. Worst part? He has 210 yards on those carries - not bad...until you remember that 52 of them came on a single run.

He's not good in short yardage and when you give him the ball on 1st down you're all but giving the play away. Oh, and he's easily less effective on 3rd downs than McKinnon so there's no sense having him in then.

So I guess if you give him the ball on 2nd and 4-6, you might be onto something. {checks notes} Oh...nevermind. He's averaging 3.2 yards/carry in those situations as well, so you probably shouldn't bother there either.

How 'bout we just stop giving him the ball? There's just never a situation where he's the best option.
