Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Outside of QB, at which position group are we most overrated by Doogs and the Media?

    Since we are bashing on Gaskin...

    You all are wrong His main flaw is not having enough long runs.

    But he does not consistently get long runs like other big name backs. Saquon, Barkley ronald Jones, Stanford back 1, etc. All have 40+ yard runs nearly every week. While gaskin hardly ever gets a run longer then 20 yards and only has 9 runs over 40 yards

    2015
    78 vs sac state.
    72 vs oregon
    53 vs asu
    86 vs southern miss
    2016
    68 vs Oregon
    45 vs asu
    2017
    57 vs colorado
    43 vs wsu
    69 vs Penn state

    "Only" nine 40+ yard runs.



    His career average is 5.9 yards/carry. And his year-over-year YPC has gone up each year.

    But if nine 40+ yard runs don't seem like many to you, you must be even more impressed with his 3-year career total of 4055 rushing yards, right?
    Yeah nine 40+ yard runs in three seasons is not a lot. Through the first seven games last season Bryce Love had nine 50+ yard runs. Look I'm all for being a homer and whatnot but Gaskin is not elite. He's Mr. Consistency. He keeps the chains moving and has nice highlights showing great vision and elusiveness but he doesn't wow you with speed, power, or home run hitting ability. I hope at least one of those aspects of his game is improved this season.

    RB. The one-two punch of Gaskin and Ahmed is being hyped up too much. It's a really good backfield and might be the best we've ever had but teams like Bama, Georgia, Ohio State, and USC have better backfields than that every year.

    Myles disrespect is unreal
    No disrespect. Bo Scarborough and Najee Harris. Ronald Jones and Stephen Carr. Nick Chubb and Sony Michel. Christian McCaffrey and Bryce Love (Even though McCaffrey got all the carries). It's not hard to think of more talented backfields in recent memory. Gaskin is solid and consistent but he lacks the power and home run speed I would need to see to consider him elite.
    Retard, we talking about this year. Last I remember ppl on your list most of then do not play college football anymore
    No bitch, I'm not restricted to only thinking about one year in time when I can pull from the past couple of years to make my point which I did quite effectively.
    we talking about this year's roster vs other this year rosters

    we? really don't have a power back like coleman this year and if Gaskin got hurt we have 5 relatively unproven backs filling in

    Yeah bitch because I don't know the complete rosters of every elite team in the nation. Bama and Georgia and Ohio State and Clemson have no doubt stockpiled nothing but 4 and 5 star recruits at RB but some of them have yet to play yet so I don't know their fucking names but when they do play this season they will most likely still be better than our fucking backfield you dumb bitch. Again, really good RB corp for us and the best we've had in a long time; but still not as good as the elite teams around the nation.

    Overrated? Huh? We've got a great defensive backfield at this point. That's it. RB's only as good as their Guards and center

    Uh, Gaskin ran for more yards over 3 years than Barkley. But what do stats matter anyway. And vs good defenses Barkley was very mediocre last year (UW aside)
