I think I disagree just about as completely as one can. What was Priest before he started running behind the Chiefs offensive line?
PRIEST in 2000 for BALTIMORE: 137 carries for 588 yards and 2 TDs.
PRIEST in 2003 for KC: 320 carries for 1420 yards and 27 TDs.
Holy selective statistics, Batman!How about this?
PRIEST in 1998 for BALTIMORE: 233 carries for 1008 yards and 7 TDs.
PRIEST in 2005 for KC: 119 carries for 451 yards and 6 TDs.
See what happens when you cherry-pick your statistics?
Shenanigans aside, you made a very good point when you brought up Priest Holmes. He was an RB who played behind two distinctly different O-lines. Let's compare his numbers between the two systems, shall we? Priest Holmes averaged 4.58 yards per carry in Baltimore. Priest Holmes averaged 4.65 yards per carry in Kansas City. So in other words, the highly touted KC Offensive Line was worth a grand total of .07 yards per carry.
.07 yards per carry!!!
What was Priest before he started running behind the Chief's O-line? Every bit as good as he was AFTER he started running behind the Chief's O-line (and, might I add, severely underutilized). Want to argue some more?
