Jamaal Charles Thread: Hall of Famer? (1 Viewer)

I blame him for not finishing up that great 47 yard run and taking a breather to let Davis get the short yardage TD.

 
Big bummer he wore himself out twice getting Chiefs in the redzone to see Davis spell him. He could have had 4 TDs.

You know, I'm starting to have to eat my words about this guy. When he is healthy, and when his maddening Coach gets him involved, he is a pleasure to watch. His lateral speed is unlike anything I've ever seen. So close to being a monster game today. Hated seeing Davis vulture that touchdown.

Hopefully he came out of the game healthy. I heard on the radio he hurt his shoulder?

 
the vultured td was acceptable. much more infuriating was when knile came in and got stuffed on 3rd and goal from the 2. there was just no reason for davis to be in there. smith even called timeout before the play bc he didnt like something.

Charles was winded after multiple carries and took himself out before that TO. I guess they just kept the same personnel in there

Charles was hurt in week 2. Since he's returned, he has "only" put up 616 yards and 8 TDs. In six games.

Over a full season, that would pro-rate out to 1642 yards and 21 TDs. Is it as good as last year? No, but last year was a historically great season. They're called "career years" because backs typically don't match them. It would be good for 292 points in standard, though, which would have ranked him... 2nd last year, behind only himself. So yeah, he's been a league-winning stud since he got back. It sucks that he bombed in week 1 and got hurt in week 2, but suggesting that he's not living up to his draft status? Nah, I'm just not seeing it.

794 yards and 10 TDs in 7 games since returning. Over 16 games, that would be 1815 yards and 23 touchdowns, good for 319 fantasy points in standard scoring. I'll take it.

 
He's 9th by rush yardage, 3rd in YPC and only Lynch has more TDs, Imagine he continues to pass up guys ahead of him in yardage (Forsett and Alfred Morris, to name a few) through the stretch.

So despite a slow start and not playing in WK 3, the guy is already a pro bowl candidate now.

History doesn't favor Jamaal Charles vs. Raiders

For those who don't feel like clicking through, here's the summary:

Other than the 215 yard, 5-touchdown performance he had against them last year, Oakland has really held Jamaal Charles in check. Also, other than that, Mrs. Lincoln really enjoyed the play!

Sarcasm aside, the entire premise that Oakland does well against Jamaal Charles is absurd. He's played them seven times since becoming a regular part of the offense, and he's topped 100 yards from scrimmage in 5 of those 7 games. They did a good job against him in 2 games in 2012, but outside of the aforementioned 215-yard, 5-touchdown day, Charles has also had a 128-yards, 2-touchdown day; a 117-yard, 1-touchdown day; a 100-yard, 1-touchdown day; and a 100-yard, 0-touchdown day. In other words, lots of good days.

How many good days? Well, even if you throw out the 215-yard, 5-touchdown performance, Jamaal Charles averages 15.7 PPR points per game against the Raiders since 2009. And that's deliberately throwing out his 59.5 point fantasy day while leaving in his two duds in 2012.

So history doesn't favor Charles against the Raiders only if we pretend that "history" began and ended in 2012 and/or doesn't include receiving yardage.

now THIS is how you dismantle skewed stats...bravo

 
Honestly, I was dead wrong about this guy. He's an incredible football player and a lot of fun to watch. He's won me over big time.
