Not enough carries to make an adequate assessment? That's good enough to explain away Foster's mediocre numbers? Are you sure that's not an excuse?

Foster's rookie season:
zero carries, zero yards, zero rushing TD's, active for ZERO games
Foster's career:
116 carries, 441 yards, zero TD's, 3.8 ypc

The rookie season of the biggest bust in recent Chiefs memory:
20 carries, 85 yards, 1 TD, 4.3 ypc

I sense a double standard here.

our defense has a bad habit of giving up the big play. i would prefer a running back who is less likely to take the big play for 80 yards ... instead of taking it for 15 yrds.

imo Davis is a guy designed for 5-15 yrd runs ... foster has more homerun capability.

I'm sorry but I cannot agree less. Davis has 35 rushes for 20 or more yards, or 2% of his career carries. His career long is 76 yards. Foster has one run of longer than 20 yards in 116 carries, or .9%, and that run was a mere 21 yards. Davis has a 20+ run once in every 49 carries. Foster has a 20+ run once in every 116 carries.

Foster's "homerun capability" up to this point, is non-existent, and as I said before, he's played several bad run defenses, including Indy and Houston, who was WORSE than us last season.

There's that double-standard again.
