I think Lesean Mccoy is a more appropriate comparison. Like the guy a lot, but value is tied too close to situation
McCoy was a stud at Pittsburgh. Sometimes I wonder if people even watch College Football any more
McCoy was used more, but they had almost the same number of career carries.McCoy - 584/2816/35, 4.8 YPC, Receiving 65/549/1, 8.4 YPRPead - 545/3288/27, 6.0 YPC, Receiving 87/721/6, 8.3 YPR
Don't bring in facts! Lets just yell at people with our opinions
Just for the sake of debate. Here are a few other Big East Rbs
onald Brown - 698/3800/33 5.4 YPC, 48/276/2 5.8 YPRNoel Devine - 728/4315/29 5.9 YPC, 98/710/2 7.2 YPROne thing you have to remember. McCoy played for a Pitt team that had a putrid O-line. Pead played for a Cinci team that had a decent O-line, not great, but better by far than Pitt's. I am a WVU honk, not in the pain-in-the-### type of way of JAA, but a honk nonetheless. I watched a number of BE games each year, not just WVU games. McCoy stood out to me when he played. I was worried when we played a bad Pitt team because McCoy was a game changer. Brown was a good back on an otherwise mediocre team, he never worried me. Pead was similar to Brown in that he was a good RB on an ok team. I was not worried about Pead beating WVU alone. I was always worried about McCoy that way. Pead is in a good situation, but I am not sold on his ability. Jackson has been an elite RB. I think if he goes down this entire team implodes, unless Bradford can keep it afloat. So far, he hasn't.
