Booker statistically better than Barkley in every area

broadbandz : 12/1/2021 6:01 pm
I mean, that's not EVERY area

have a choice of Booker or Barkley .... who do they take?

Bet it is not Booker.


Booker is doing a nice job at RB, yes.
Has it ever occurred to you

that SB is not 100 percent. Peterson's recovery from his ACL was an extreme outlier. The idea that SB was going to come out and be as explosive as he was before this year is just foolish. We probably won't know what he actually is post ACL until 2022
Barkley  
Mook80 : 12/1/2021 6:18 pm : link
at this point is just another guy. Maybe even not that.

People on here go to great lengths to defend the guy, but he's not far from being a bust.
I'm down on Saquon

but give the guy a break and lets see if he comes back before comparing him to a jag.
Is this an intelligence test on what

"every" means?
Barkley

Is a bust.

& we'd be insane-INSANE-to give Saquon a second contract. And Lord knows Gettleman would if given the chance.

No question about that.

But when we see an OP like this that swings the pendulum too far, it's counterproductive.

Barkley is extremely flawed. You can even make a case that Booker, with consistency, is the better option at RB. But when you go so far as to say that Booker is "statistically better than Barkley in every area" when that's untrue on its face, it begs the question of whether the OP is here for discussion or here to troll. I suspect it might be the latter.
Well Mike…

Has it occurred to you when is the last time Barkley been 100%? Or when will he be 100% in the future? The answer to the latter may be never with his track record. What good is a player that can’t stay healthy? Look at OBJ his injuries impacted his ability to perform even today.

Gettleman or the mealy mouth owner?
Barkley

Possibly having David Carritis Variant.
Just starts dancing , expecting the hole not to be there, looking for a possible alternate open are, and there general is none.

The only area Booker doesn’t lead Barkley is super fantastic awesome plays in 2018. And that my guys, is all that really matters.

He got hurt in like Week 2 last year. It's been well over a year. We are also well within the window in which people recover from ACLs these days.
The only case to make here  
mattlawson : 12/1/2021 8:03 pm : link
Is our offensive line as it stands right now is only good enough to pay a journeyman RB to play here, and a rare talent like Saquon should be let go.

Next year If the Giants pull their head out of their ass and remake the line … what then?
Booker isn’t helping us win many games  
UConn4523 : 12/1/2021 8:07 pm : link
neither is Barkley or Jones or Thomas or anyone.

Cool thread though.
If they lived up to their respective billings  
Jimmy Googs : 12/1/2021 8:16 pm : link
then we would win more games.

And that would be cool...
Almost every category.  
dancing blue bear : 12/1/2021 9:35 pm : link
I mean if you had only added “almost” it would retain a modicum of credibility

Curious… did You(OP) create that awesome graphic or did you find it?

You should delete and repost with almost in the header. So the whole afternoons work isn’t wasted.

A lot of the numbers are close to each other. For instance ypc. 3.6 to 3.7. Both deplorably paltry, I might add. I would make those numbers smaller so they are almost illegible. People might wonder why both backs are so bad (gettlemen picked them both. Amiright!!)
Looking forward to more insights

Not really. It takes the 2nd year to get back completely
Sorry... Barkley is a bust  
chitt17 : 12/2/2021 8:34 am : link
Compared to where he was drafted.

Injury prone. Availability is important.

Great dancer behind the line before losing 2 yards.

Has "one" great run per game.

Can't block.



Please trade him!

Booker can't help win games if he is on the bench.

If one thing has become clear this season, it's that there is a highlight-reel BBI contingent, for better or worse.

It tracks with those posters' aversion to aggregated data.
Ahhhh

Mr. Loathsome... from thread to thread. Here a put down, there about put down...a remarkably sad effort to find worthiness where vileness reigns.
Sad
