400: the new 300?

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Look at a lot of the games that have been played so far.
 
Even RGIII had 300 yards last night and they lost badly against the Packers.
 
Is 400 yards the new 300? Are 300 passing yards so easy now a days?
 
Pretty tough to get a good RB in the draft right?

 

[RipCity32]

Yes. 400 is the new 300.
I think nearly 4k passing yards is a standard too.

teams rely on throwing the ball too much, and why not. with all the protection QBs and WRs get from the refs I'd throw it rather than run.

its making things too one sided imo

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

True, no RBs in drafts anymore. If you get #9 pick, it's so tough to find one.

 

[Hurricane Season]

I actually think it's easier to find one. RB is such a low priority now, you can find reliable starters and complimentary backs as low as the 5th round.

All the good RBs go early rhough

 

[Hurricane Season]

The dropoff usually isn't significant.

RG3 is so great for fantasy. The Redskins D is so shitty, that they don't have time to waste by running the ball.

Agreed. Shit's gonna be gay in a few years.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Yes, and it's horrible for the game. That's why I don't like College football that much. A matchup between two great teams ending at 49-42 is an atrocity. Fuck that shit.
 
At least NFL defenses are fighting back a lot harder than college defenses. Lots of low scoring games so far.

 

[elcheato]

Low scoring games almost always are because of inept offenses. I don't have time for that shit

Disagree. Inept offense is just the excuse for not scoring, for facing a good defense. Two good defenses squared off in KC yesterday, and you saw the result. I would hardly call Dallas or KC's offenses "inept."

All the good RBs go early rhough

Last years Top 10 RBs in terms of YPG
1. Adrian Peterson (2007: Round 1 Pick 7)
2. Alfred Morris (2012: Round 6 Pick 173)
3. Marshawn Lynch (2007: Round 1 Pick 12)
4. Jamaal Charles (2008: Round 3 Pick 73)
5. Doug Martin (2012: Round 1 Pick 31)
6. Arian Foster (2009 Undrafted Free Agent)
7. Stevan Ridley (2011: Round 3 Pick 73)
8. CJ Spiller (2010: Round 1 Pick 9)
9. Chris Johnson (2008: Round 1 Pick 24)
10. Frank Gore (2005: Round 3 Pick 65)
 
Half were 1st round RBs, but you also have a 6th rounder and a UDFA. And no 2nd round players at all. So, yes, you wont be getting Adrian Peterson without a top pick. But you can get a very good one still
