I wouldn't see the point because I've seen boards that have that. The agitators have large negative red numbers and everyone else continues to pad their green stats cause they're part of the IT crowd. No one would care after awhile but people would ignore the negative reds and anything they typed.
And maybe the Broncos have discovered that when CJ carries the ball 25% more he actually gets more effective over the course of a game....enabling them to control game flow....which then gives their 2nd year QB better down and distance situations...
Never said a thing about 25% more but if he did carry the ball 25% more then he ever has in a season he's either going to be missing games or dropping down to 12.8 carries a game for the ROS.

I would have lost anyway, but I don't know if CJ is benchable at this point. You would have to have 2 other unreal choices + good matchups to consider benching him.
It all depends on your roster for one thing.TZMarkie said:
Cousins is off to a slow start but it's unlikely that he doesn't at least keep pace with Wentz going forward. His track record is pretty good.
Look at his past few years, this is his thing, Cousins starts of slow.
In a 16-team dynasty, yesterday the comissioner offered me Samaje Perine and 2018 2nd round for CJ. That's equally a s*#t offer.
One could extrapolate that having a running game takes the pressure off of their below average QB, thus making the offense more efficient.
That is incorrect. Correlation does not MEAN causation but it does imply it. That's exactly how things are proven, by testing the implied causation.
Being in the lead or in a competitive game does allow for more run plays, but the volume of runs depends really on how well you can run the ball and how well you pass. Right now there’s a good argument Denver should be running more.

His touches seem to be more valuable. CJ's role is very Abdullah-esque right now, he seems to only get work in between the 20s. Heck, I think Abdullah sees more targets on average.
Game script fits in to how the Broncos are using Booker right now. He is their red zone and passing down RB, and I believe they will be trailing for most of the game. I would not be surprised if Booker leads the team in receptions on Sunday, and of course there's a much better chance of a long gainer with Booker than CJ. CJ is most likely going to be bottled up by the dominant Eagles run defense.
I would very much disagree with this. There is not enough evidence for any type of conclusion on this backfield.
Booker completely monopolized red zone touches in the game vs. KC. Since coming out of the bye Booker has seen 11%, 11% and 8% of the targets in contrast to CJ's 0%, 6% and 3%. Anderson went from seeing 70% of the snaps going into DEN's bye to 50% coming out which correlates with Booker getting more involved. It's only going to get worse for CJ from here on out, not better. CJ's usage is quite literally indistinguishable from Abdullah's.
How so? Because Booker got the red zone touches after CJ did work to get them there? Are we basing this on one week with limited red zone snaps?
The red zone snaps were not limited. Booker had 4 RZ carries, CJ had none. Booker took every RZ snap but one. This didn't happen by chance.
Whatever. I definitely respect your posts and commentary in general but at some point common sense needs to take over.
