Why not?
Lol, yeah because he was dreadful in the 1st preseason game. Or at all last year....
Smith has one of the best int:to ratios in the league the past few seasons?? 3:1 iirc
How many backs in NFL history have averaged 5.8 ypc over their first 700 carries?
Exactly.. what I don't see in your list of all time greats and just greats is a 5.8 ypc over a career or second half of a career.
Exactly again.. Charles has been the exception to the rule, the outlier.
I hate chasing handcuffs, but Davis may have to be a pick for those that are worried about Charles going down to injury.
I wouldn't nessecarily say he is in a system that could increase likely hood of injury. The only reason I could see that statement making sense would b the fact that he might have an increase of injury because he will be used a lot more. I don't see Alex smith and Charles are now being more injury prone in the system.
INT machine? Alex Smith? Credibility gone.
I'd really love to see a link that goes to prove Smith is a "int machine". Cause maybe every website I look at for stats is broken and you have some inside statistical information? My sources tell me that his career doesn't prove he throws many TDs at all.
After six games:
Ill admit I was wrong. Maybe Andy did learn something from his mistakes in Philly.
Got pretty quiet in here from the people claiming Charles didn't have a 10+ TD ceiling. As he'd never scored more than 10 in a season. I think he'll get 3 more TDs this year, what about you guys?
As good and consistent as Charles has been to this point, I think his owners still have some monster games to look forward to.
imo the fact that KC doesn't have routes further than 15 yards from the LOS contributes to the lack of really big runs
I think honestly, that a lot of defenses are trying to threaten the Chiefs to beat them without Charles running for 6 yards a clip. And they're doing that. Eventually there will be running room for him. Either way, it's irrelevant how he gets to 2000 yards total this season. Whether it's 1000 yards on the ground and 1000 through the air or 1500 on the ground and 500 through the air. He's on pace for it regardless and has no signs of slowing. The entire offense runs through him. Besides maybe the Broncos losing Peyton right now, I'm not sure there's a more important player in the NFL. If the Chiefs were to lose Charles the season would be done.

Don't start that stuff or you will be one of those "I ain't touching Arian Foster this year" guys. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I was one of those 'non-believers',mostly due to Alex Smith..IMO, Smith is one of the leading MVP candidates, he has his team at
6-0 which is very impressive being that he was a newly acquired player in the offseason..he has performed extremely well
while I'm one of those who didn't think Charles would surpass 10TD, on the flip side, you can't possible think he's going to continue at this rate and finish with 19 TDs ,can you? I mean,they've beaten the Jags, Oakland, Giants, Eagles, Cowboys, Titans.not exactly all-world team defenses..and while the schedule looks fairly easy from here on out, someone along the way is going to decipher and crack the code,and beat the Chiefs..I'll give you maybe 13-15 TD..but his ypc avg is what is most alarming now..1.6 yards less per rush..
he has 2 fewer rushing Tds than Moreno ( 5 vs. 7), and avg's 1/2 yard less than him ( 4.2 vs. 4.7)..19 more fantasy pts, and he has 13 more recs, 111 more rec yards..but for the consensus top 10 pick he was in this year's fantasy drafts, I think he has been somewhat of a disappointment..Moreno is only a few pts behind him, and is doing as much or more,with less, than Charles is..so Charles isn't really living up to his ADP ranking..
but he is scoring fantasy pts, just not scoring nearly as many as people would've hoped..
Yep. I am watching these games every week and enjoying the production and still, in the back of my head every week I am thinking, "You know, he's doing all of this without having any of thoe 'Jamaal Charles' types of games where you look up and he's busted a 56 yard TD in the second half of a game."
I'd say it's more that Moreno is vastly exceeding his ADP, rather than Charles is not living up to his own.Hey KHY

The receptions were total good process. Westbrook and McCoy averaged about 5 receptions a game for Reid. Charles is getting about 5.5, well within the historical norms. The TDs were also good process, too, since Reid's offense focuses a lot on the RB in the red zone (even if it doesn't necessarily focus on RUNNING the RB in the red zone)- toss out Westbrook and McCoy's rookie years, and they averaged about a dozen scores per 16 games played under Reid. 19 is high and should regress some, but I'd expect Charles to still be averaging about 0.66-0.75 scores per game going forward.
I think that this is probably the weakest attempt at justification of a spectacularly bad call that I have ever seen. People can't actually think this way and function in everyday life, can they? Just wow.I think he has been somewhat of a disappointment..Moreno is only a few pts behind him, and is doing as much or more,with less, than Charles is..so Charles isn't really living up to his ADP ranking..but he is scoring fantasy pts, just not scoring nearly as many as people would've hoped..
So I was completely with you until you started talking about Moreno. Charles is the #1 Fantasy RB right now and ahead of all other RBs by almost a full weeks worth of points in ALL scoring formats. In what world is he not living up to the ADP that most people had him at which was somewhere in the range of 2-6 overall? Good God man... right now he's on pace for one of the best fantasy seasons of all time. What were people hoping for if 25+ PPG wasn't it? 40 PPG? That was one of the worst posts I've read on these boards in quite some time and there's some terrible posts here.Hey KHYGot pretty quiet in here from the people claiming Charles didn't have a 10+ TD ceiling.

I don't think he's untradeble, but it would probably take a package including another top 10-12 RB. If I had needs at WR, I would listen to an offer of a Reggie Bush + WR2 type. This is in PPR. I'd still be hesitant because of his insane volume and consistency, but I would make the move it it wasn't a large downgrade at the position and it helped to bolster a position of need.
He's number 1 in scoring. What exactly more were you looking for from him?Hey KHYGot pretty quiet in here from the people claiming Charles didn't have a 10+ TD ceiling. As he'd never scored more than 10 in a season. I think he'll get 3 more TDs this year, what about you guys?
