You don't think that John Emery is super talented?


I don't believe he is, no. This might be semantics, but recent super talented RBs would be Fournette, Guice, and maybe Hill and CEH. A level below would be Addai and Toefield. I am missing some guys, but regardless of what term you use, I would not put Emery on the level of any of those RBs. My best comparison would be Kieland Williams.

No maybe in Hill. And those three guys were more than super talented, they were exceptional. Fournette and Guice were both pretty close to a generational talent.

CEH


One exceptional year, not really expected if we're being honest.

quote:

Toefield


Emery is averaging almost 1/2 a yard more per carry and has half the number of TDs in just over 1/3 of the carries.

quote:

Addai


Averaging 5.3 vs 5.0 for Emery 18 TDs in 490 carries. Emery has 13 in 190 carries. He is actually a good comparison. Same basic size, addai also had a ball security issue, particularly early on.

quote:

Kieland Williams


Was better statistically than Addai, Toefield or Emery.
