Don't blame MEH for his performance Monday night

CEH is still the best RB we have on the roster. So he may be replaceable, but he's currently not replaceable with the RBs the Chiefs have on their roster.

So wtf are we bitching about 4.5 YPC for every ****ing week, even when he has a good game?

OP was an attempt to put lipstick on a pig - THAT'S why people are bitching. A fair reading of the responses would be 'pushing back on an unsupportable narrative'.

That 4.5 YPC you note is essentially one decent game. A game where a 7th round rookie was noticeably more explosive than he was. Apart from that game he has 129 yards in 4 games, and 40% of THOSE yards came on a single carry.

He's essentially thrown up 2 bagels in his last 3 starts and in the 3rd of those starts he was outplayed by a rookie. With that context, someone started a thread trying to defend a guy who's demonstrated 2+ seasons of underwhelming performance.

Yeah, that's gonna meet some resistance - as well it should.
