Flipping the switch in garbage time isnt gonna cut it.

Also when Charles is softening the D by putting up 225+ on them.

LMAO Tolbert sucks. He's having a worse year than Hillis.

That is why Pioli is an idiot. In each of the last 2-3 drafts, there have been big, talented RB's available at a steal late. Vick Ballard comes to mind, as does MarShawn Lynch.

Um, Lynch was picked in 2007.

But you're right. Hillis and Draughn are garbage. We have no idea if Gray can play.

Damn.. Ant believe he's been around that long. Dixon comes to mind. I know there are plenty of them out the producing. Can't really research on a phone though.

Tolbert is a perfect complimentary back to Charles.

I hear that those guys will intentionally cripple kids sometimes to make them look more pathetic.

Any time you see a kid in a wheelchair at a sporting event, he's fakin' it for a bowl of soup and bus fare.

"A running back who averages five yards a carry for his career is doing something extraordinary. Five yards a carry is better than Walter Payton averaged, better than O.J. Simpson averaged, better than Eric Dickerson averaged, better than Emmitt Smith averaged. A 5.0 average is what Barry Sanders and Gale Sayers had in their careers, and it’s currently Adrian Peterson’s career average as well. Going above 5.0 is the most rarefied air a running back can reach. For Charles to close out his fifth NFL season while carrying a 5.8-yard career average is remarkable."

I don't know if anyone noticed, but he did get the FedEx ground player of the week award. Kind of a no-brainer though, based on the numbers.

"The NFL announced Friday that quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and running back Jamaal Charles of the Kansas City Chiefs are the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week for games played on Dec. 22-23.

Charles gained 226 yards on 22 carries, averaging 10.3 yards per carry and one touchdown in the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts."

In what way? Are we going to keep trying this big power back to compliment JC thing? Hasn't worked before so I don't see why people keep thinking it will work.

It's pretty remarkable, but I'll bet Charles has half the carries those guys had their first 5 seasons. Charles didn't even play much his rookie year. Charles avg would decrease if he got 350 plus carries a year. Charles has never had a 300 carry year yet.

You do know that he averaged 5.9 ypc when he was getting 20+ carries a game in '09 after he took over for LJ, right?
