Who is More Consistent: Frank Gore or Kendall Hunter?

Hunter doesn't get used in the jumbo package......put him in for that and the numbers will flatten out
All time leading rusher for the franchise vs a career 325 yard rusher?


Hmmm? Gonna have to get back to you on that one.


PS- KH IS bad-a$$, btw, IMHO, tbph, fwiw
Kendal Hunter... that dude got lost in all the big bodies yesterday. There were several times where I thought he got 3-4 yards but somehow found his way, weave through the defenders for 4-5 more I need to see more. The Bills may just be that bad.
I'll be happy to play as soon as you tell me which one of your kids you love more...

Both are good dudes I'm gonna pm them.
kendall hunter ALWAYS picks up an extra yard or two before going to the ground..... but so does frank gore haha
Hunter is more consistent, but that isn't saying anything bad about Gore. He does a lot of the dirty work and really wears down the defense. Really glad to have them both, since they really drive each other. That "iron sharpens iron" quote is really demonstrated in the running backs.

What? Yesterday Gore had 6 rushes that went for 3 yards or less, Hunter only had one!
Gore softens 'em up. And Hunter gashes 'em when they're tired. It's a two back system.

Just wait till we incorporate Jacobs. Dixon looked good too. Not to mention our 2nd round pick James.

We are the #1 running team in the league without Jacobs or James touching the ball yet.

Depth. Check!

jumbo package
Also, more interesting data - rushing yards only.

25.7% of Gore's yards come on runs that are two standard deviations away from the mean. Hunter? 12.9%.

That means that a ton of Gore's yards are on 'home-run plays: 25.7% of his yardage comes on runs of 17 yards or more.
