of all runners who surpassed 700 yds on the ground with 4.4 YPC
He also had the 4th longest run from Scrimmage last year- 75 YDS
One can only guess what Darkwa's Stats would have been if Paul "1.2 YPC' Perkins had not started the 1st 4 Regular Season Games
Eli is going to sorely (literally) miss Darkwas pass protection
Elliott ran for 983 yds last year avg 22 carries per game
Darkwa ran for 751 yds on 11 carries per game
If Darkwa had 22 carries per games he would easily have topped 1500 yds rushing last year Elliott had 983
Makes you stop and wonder why we needed to spend the #2 pick in the draft on a RB?
Not if I get there first. I'm 40, overweight, and out of shape. But I can get some damn good blocking for one play and pick up 5 yards, I can retire there and wait for BluesCruise to fit me for my gold jacket.

didn’t get banned yet, huh?
Why would I get banned for pointing out we had the 8th best RB in the league last year??? A bright spot ina very very very down season
Its been a while since we had a RB who could move the chains
he also scored 5 rushing TDs in limited duty
I will give you the Darkwa 2017 vs Barkley 2018 comparison at regular seasons end
This should be interesting
You should get banned because you were already banned. A new handle isn't a free pass.

RB was not our need....It was DE
I think we are set with Webb and the new kid at QB
Trouble is they will never see the field
I can see Gettleman getting shaky knees at drafting a QB so high- they are notoriously hard to predict
But DE? Those picks are layups by comparison
You're right... Solomon Thomas really lit the league up for SF this past season.
And Cedric Jones was amazing back in the day as well lol. Or how about the other Erik Flowers drafted by the Bills years ago who was dubbed the next Bruce Smith. Another total bust. There are just as many busts at DE as any other position.
Yesterday you said he averaged 6.3YPC last year. It dropped to 4.4YPC overnight!
By tomorrow, I don't even know what it will be down to!!
He was so good that he must be holding out for top RB money to sign with a team ;-)
Darkwa just had surgery to remove plate in his leg
He is recovering for surgery therefore is missing OTA .
He can't audition for any teams now
he will definitely be signed to some NFL team by the start pre season
