Michael Carter

They drafted these 2 smallish quick guys who presumably can create YAC in space.  I expected that to be a focal point of game plans.  Moving Zach around, having quick passes to the rbs, moore and crowder with cole, mims and davis stretching the field.  

but that's the problem he does not run very good in space he's starts dancing and gives the defenders the upper hand or a chance to close in on the tackle. In open space I would love to see him just burst and he does not IMHO he leaves a ton of yards on the table

Haven’t read thread. Too long and probably chock full of childish bickering. 

Just wanted to cast my stone at this house as 

PRO CARTER!

He’s performed well behind a mediocre line and gets positive yardage. I believe he’ll continue to improve and can be a solid Jets RB in the Murrell, Powell, Leon Washington type of mold.

I try to make my points with out telling people "they don't know WTF they are talking about" but in your case ya left me no choice. Every RB in the history of the game gains yards after contact EVERY SINGLE ONE on nearly every single play. Its a stupid stat to even bring up in the case of Michael Carter or when comparing backs and is more appropriate used in talking about WR's not RB's who routinely get hit fairly quickly once touching the ball. You are the one making a case on a stat that is ridiculous to use on a RB with so little yards.

 

Example 

See below most of Derrick Henrys Yards are Yards after contact . The reason he leads the NFL in that category is because he has the most yards. When you have 3567 rushing yards and 3130 are after contact it shows the stat is mostly irrelevant when discussing RB's and I would bet anything that every single back would be around this same percentage unless they are just running into a wall on every play. Its a stupid stat to judge a RB on and it further demonstrates your lack of knowledge on the subject. if you line up the top 10 RB's in the NFL or the Middle ten the percentages of Yards after Contact would be extremely close its the nature of the position. 

Now compare Derrick Henry's YAC to Michael Carters and tell be because MC's stats are close to Henrys he must be just as good.

Summary . Don't use dumb stats to make a point.

Here's how we know: Over the last two seasons, Henry doesn't just lead the NFL in rushing yards with 3,567 in the regular season and 4,052 if you include the postseason, but he also has more yards after contact — 3,130 — than any other NFL back has in total rushing

The reason Henry leads the league in yac is because he’s a great back. And as for Carter, he was one of the NCAA leaders in that stat. Since this whole topic came up because of your claim that Carter can’t break tackles, I’d say it’s hardly a “dumb stat.” On the contrary, it proves your original statement is completely wrong.

Hitting holes can be difficult. Not that I'm speaking from experience of course

[British Jet]

Ty’son Williams averaged 6.2 yards per carry and was a healthy inactive last week. 
 

YPC isn’t everything.

Read the stats I posted for you and stop trying to make a point that does not exist. 65 to 80 percent of ALL RB YARDS come after first contact its an irrelevant stat when evaluating a RB. But if you must even Carters YAC yards are ranked 48 the in the NFL the numbers you posted were pulled out of thin air and absolute bullsh*t. You had Carter at 95 YAC of 125 yards. when his real numbers are 61 YAC of 167 yards. if you're going to make an argument at the very least you need to get the stat you are pointing too correct.

Gotcha so you are happy with 3.5 yards per carry ?

[Smashmouth]

I have to say I made a mistake starting the thread saying MC stinks I should have just posted the facts of why I felt this way as to not offend the Green Glasses crowd. As I have said before lets see where this kid is in about 2 years. Based on the way he runs Im going to go out on a limb and say he will be gone and if he's not we did a piss poor job finding a real RB

[ryu79]

How weird - has looked really encouraging to me. 

[rldev]

He needs to get those knees up in the hole. Seems like he does get arm tackled in traffic. Which is ironic because he smashes through on a couple of touchdowns. Give him time to adjust. I would like to see some Josh Adams though.

The stats were correct, taken directly from PFF. I don’t know where you got your numbers from, but mine are assuredly better. 

[Prodigal Syndicate]

He looks painfully pedestrian so far, but this o line isnt doing anyone any favors either.

If people want to excuse his performance behind the o line, that's fine I guess, but I am not going to listen to people tell me a guy averaging 3.5 YPC looks good. These are the same people that said Perine looked good too.

Its only 5 games so we will see where we stand at the end of the season but so far he just isnt making any plays that pop and make you take notice of him. He looks like every JAG you can find off the scrap heap so far.

Oh I must not have realized exactly who I debating with of course everything you post is assuredly better so much better you didn't even bother to post it. Below are the stats I posted earlier in the thread to which you informed me "I don't know where you got your numbers from" which tells me you didn't even bother to read the stats. You frankly suck at this and if you are going to open your mouth and insult people at the very least come prepared so as not to look like a complete fool.

I think Josh Adams was released I was hoping to see him as well because he easily looked the best in preseason and ran very hard IMHO

“Your stats” show Carter ranking 37th in the NFL in yac per attempt. But he “can’t break tackles” — yeah, right, OK.

This holds water right up until you draft a Henry, Kamara, McCaffery, Hunt, Chubb, Jones, the list goes on 

 

Well, it's 5 games in on a bad offense and he's a 4th round pick. I think he's shown enough potential to justify the pick spent on him and the thing about running back is you can always find another one. I do think we'd agree that he'd be best paired with a bigger thumper type.

what ? Lets celebrate MC being ranked 37th at something !! ?

So what you are making such a big deal about is a guy ranked outside of the top 32 RB's in the NFL ? With my terrible website no less ??  That's not even in the same realm as the amazing sites you frequent ? Just so ya know they are not "my stats" they are stats posted by pro football reference.

Just to put this to bed whether you are looking at advanced stats or regular stats Michael Carter is ranked in the high 30's to mid forties in every single stat so thanks for helping me make my argument.

Does this mean that MC will always suck ? NOPE But I'm guessing when Perine comes back he will get every chance to be the number 1 back because Carter certainly did not solidify that job by any means.

had no idea .... thought he was hurt . weird all the healthy scratches when the players currently in the game are not perfroming

[Maynard13]

Way way to early to make an educated conclusion. Right now, he’s somewhere between being a Jag and a Jet.

A great find in the 4th round by Joe Douglas.  This kid competed to the final whistle yesterday.  He is a really nice piece for the Super Bowl run in 2023.

I'd be interested to know how quickly is he seeing 1st contact?  1 yard, 2 yards?  Dude seems like he's got a defender in his face the second he gets to the LOS, which would add up with the stat provided.  Seems to be always making something out of nothing or dragging a defender or reach for the extra yard.  

I think Carter behind an OL that can run block, will be very good.  And for someone who loves a receiving back @Smashmouth he's the 2nd leading receiver on the team.

[RSJ]

Carter dances too much. He sucks.

He's slower then I thought for such a small guy. He has been meh, hes a roation RB 2 or 3. Nothing more, nothing less.

To be honest, I don't believe he was a scheme fit. This type of running offense requires a one cut runner, someone like Chubba Hubbard, who has been quite productive in Carolina. Michael Carter's tape was so fun to watch because he runs like Leon Washington/ Reggie Bush scat back style. But I didn't think it was a scheme fit, and still don't. He could improve if the o-line improves. But I would have to agree with this take at this point.

Thinking that Hubbard has been quite productive while Carter is some kind of bust is another demonstration of flawed Jet fan logic.  Hubbard has 309 @ 3.7 per with 1 TD.  Carter 202 @ 3.5 with 2 TDs.  Carter has 17 for 131 on 23 targets.  Hubbard 17 for 110 on 24.  They were both taken in the 4th, but Hubbard went at the bottom of the round and Carter at the top.

I kind of agree with your post in that I feel that Carter is kind of a luxury player, like Moore.  I think when you have enough of them it can work, but we need a horse we can ride and we don't have one.  Still, there is no reason to think that Carter won't be a viable player in league.

yeah he's receiving the football especially this last game but most offenses can throw the ball to their RB's as much as they like if they choose to check down more often than not. I see a lot of flaws in MC's abilities when it comes to running the football even after the catch.

maybe he can be a middling 3rd down back

Rookie RB's more so than any other rookie position player play with more instinct and are usually way ahead of other position players when it comes to immediate impact. From what I have seen he's a terrible runner and that's why he's averaging 3.5 per carry. If the Pats did not totally avoid playing the run against us Carter might be averaging well under 3 YPC. He gets tripped up more than Frank Gore

Chubba Hubbard, Kenny Gainwell and several other rookie running backs are looking good as advertised.   I have also been very disappointed with Carter.  Hopefully he picks it up during the second half especially once Becton is back.

Carters problem is when he hits the hole he starts looking for people to avoid rather than continuing to advance the football we need a runner not a dancer. You hit the hole and you turn on the jets put the dancing shoes away

What games are you watching? Cause the Oline not creating these holes your talking bout. He usually dancing cause he has to avoid defenders right away.

Last week Hubbard had 12 carries for 28 yards and Gainwell had 5 carries for 20 yards and 7 of that came on one run. But i guess there better cause there not jets .
