230 carries is about 100 more than he's ever had in his career up until 2019. It's a workhorse back's carry count, more or less.
I'm subtracting the 80 yard run in my arguments because it's something other analysts do, to show a guy isn't as consistent as people may think when you look at overall numbers. Some long runs are made from the RB's skillset, with a good jump cut, spin, move, some kind of contact. Not a defensive breakdown. The run Drake had was nothing of his own doing, short of outrunning Lane O'Hill, the only guy with an angle.
But hey, if you're comfortable saying he's not a world beater, I'm cool with that. Maybe mistakenly, I've been getting the impression people think he's a surefire star - like he's gonna come out and run for nearly 1300 yards, a ton of TDs, and stack on a bunch of receiving to go with it. That's really all I'm against.
Looks like we surprisingly agree here. I just don't wanna lock ourselves into a multiple year deal on a running back like him. There's so much young talent that seems to come out every year, and backs are just falling off a cliff as they get older.
