re: Runningback Degression

Ignore thoses replies that called you dumb as they are just being smartazz or too dumb themselves to notice the obvious issue. Ever since Ridley, our RBs all tend to be most productive during their first year, and then just become average and inevitably get passed by younger backs. Strictly speaking, that applies to Ridley as well as he only had a one-year production at LSU and then went pro. Ware, Hilliard, Ford all regressed somehow after their spectacular showcase as a freshman. That being said, I don't believe the regression should be attributed to bad coaching. Instead, I think it's just a lack of effort and focus, and being complacent after successes come so easily, while in the meantime the younger guys have more hunger and motivation to prove themselves. We will see if Hill can break the trend after he makes it back on the field but you are definitely not the only one who notices this.
