What constitues RBBC (1 Viewer)

[AnonymousBob]

Is 60/40 RBBC?

80/20?

70/30?

One player grabbing all the GL carries? I see the term RBBC bandied about in this forum but it seems we all have different definitions...

a. 60/40

b. 2nd runner gets over 75% of the 3rd downs

c. 2nd runner gets over 75% of the goal line carries

Those are as good as random numbers as any of the others

I'd say upto about as much as 65-35, but any more than that to RB1 and you're talking about a guy who's carrying most of the load.

I use 65% as well, but I look more at touches among RBs than just carries to account for teams that throw to their backs alot, like Philly.

I dont have a statistical barometer. I know it when I see it.

I don't think the breakdown of carries is NEARLY as important as the three factors, in order of importance:

(1) Who gets a majority of general carries. If its 70-30, that would be my rough cutoff, though depending upon the other to, 65-35 would be fine if

(2) The RB that gets 60%+ of the carries ALSO gets all/almost all goaline looks, on a team that runs in the five often

You could also bring in third downs to a degree, because often you get some longer gains via pass receptions, or a 3rd and 20 with a nice easy 12 yard run to help pad stats.

If you are getting 80% of the carries but never sniff the goaline, I call that a committee. If you get 60% of the carries and get ALL the goaline, then that is somewhat of a committee, but not a bad play.

The problem with a back that plays neither on third down NOR gets goaline carries is you eliminate upside while also providing big chances for 3 point weeks. Third down backs will be in there even if their team is down. Goaline backs always have the chance to get 6 easy points.

So it is less the percentage of carries and more how the roles - main ball carrier, goaline back, third down/receiving back - are split
