It's a shame he had those couple bad games or his numbers would be even better.

Agreed. The only real hole in JC's game is TD's.

:spock:

and fumbles.

How is that a hole in his game?

Risk/reward

He has 3 rushes of 80+ yards for TDs this season.

I'll take that with a few fumbles.

I would say he has some ball security issues...

he was always more of a power back than Thomas Jones...the fact TJ was our short yardage/goalline back was always maddening to me.

Shit...I'd say he's a better goal line back than Hillis, too...being 240 lbs and running right into 350 lb lineman isn't effective goal line running...Charles has vision where he can score from 80 or 3 where guys like Hillis can't

For some reason, Daboll doesn't like to run him vs Oakland.

Only 15 carries for both games.

No more than Peterson.

I'm not complaining.

I'd say if he had one flaw that's probably it...and other than the very beginning of the year he seemed to have pretty much solved it.

For the love of God, just sit this guy.

I will murder kittens if he gets badly injured next week.

#Chiefs Congrats to Jamaal Charles for becoming NFL all-time average per carry record holder. Previous record holder was Jim Brown,

It's a shame they didnt mention it during the game.

Imagine JC with a real QB

Jamaal is so young, you wonder if he can keep it up though.

Would be awesome for him to retire with the record.

With that contract, as a running back, can you blame him?

One of the dumbest deals in recent history and why gms never want to offer those deals anymore.

I bet he goes over 2,000 next year while averaging over 6ypc if we draft Geno. The playcaller will want to lean on the running game.

ya, JC with Geno will be awesome.

Most top runningbacks average more TD's a year for their careers than Jamaal has had in his best season. He'll, quite a lot will have more in a season than he's had in his entire career.

Where and Adrian Peterson or Arien Foster scores every 22-23 carries, Charles is more like every 45.

I don't think it's his fault, more how he's used. Multiple coaches, and none of them use him on goal line.

One of the best to ever play the position in this league.

You are a homer...i like you, but you're a homer lol

:hail:

Oakland's defensive line man-handles our offensive line. There are never any holes when we play them.

Even back in the LJ days it was kind of similar. LJ would usually go over a hundred, but he'd average far less per carry than normal.

Mostly it's because he's played in shitty offenses that don't get inside the 20 a lot.

And he's played with Bowe, who gets a lot of goal line TDs.

Thank You Jamaal Charles.

Yet despite another stellar season from JC, we are 2-13. Hate to say it, but what value is an elite RB when we have one of the best, and yet have the worst offense in the league? It's all about the QB.

Its a realistic prediction
Looking very much forward to your 2012 Jamaal Charles highlight video!!

Charles passed Ed Podolak today.

Now 4th behind Priest, LJ and Okoye.

Thought it'd be a fine time to add JC's accomplishment to the Wikihttp://i.imgur.com/WSOUk.png

**** LJ I wish they erase that prick from everything.

How many yards before he passes Priest?

1587. At this pace he'll have it by the end of next season.

Actually, Hillis and the OL's run blocking looked good today as well. DiMarco was throwing some really good blocks. If we only had a QBb

‏@Jacobs71

Charles has 3 TD runs of at least 80 yds this year, tied with CHRIS JOHNSON (2009 & 2012) & BARRY SANDERS (1997) for the most in a season.

Charles and AP only two players in NFL History with multiple games they rushed for at least 200 yds, 10.0+ avg and a TD in career.

This season really sucks for Chief's fans, but history is being made every damn week it seems..

EDIT: A lot of great individual efforts being made.

:clap:

with AP and Charles being the two most feared, most explosive backs in 2012...I wonder if teams are just going to start tearing their stud RB's ACL after the season is over in hopes they come back and go full beast mode like these two the following year

...

???

^LMAO

it'll be the new sports trend in baseball and football

draft a stud RB, immediately tear both of his ACLs

draft a stud pitcher...immediately tear his UCL and rebuild it via Tommy John

BOOM

Just get it out of the way!

It's the Tommy John surgery of the NFL. Guys don't just return somewhat diminished after it's done any more, they come back BETTER.

Bust that knee!

EDIT: Shit, way ahead of me!

I'm relieved to say that Jamaal's season average is now back above 5.0, and has actually leapt to 5.4. It's still well below his career average, but higher than the career average of EVERY OTHER RUNNING BACK WHO HAS EVER PLAYED IN THE NFL.

But, but, but he's Tatum Bell/Slappy

I'd **** him.

NTTAWWT.

The history of 1,000 yard rushers with the Chiefs:

I must say, I'm pretty impressed with Tony Reed averaging 5.1 ypc in 1978. Those teams were terrible. And then it puts Jamaal's performance this year into perspective.

Jamaal Charles > Jim Brown?
Posted via Mobile Device

It's starting to become a legitimate debate.

For the time being, I think Brown still wins it. He played 9 seasons while Charles only has 5 under his belt so far, and Brown was used more heavily. He has more than triple the number of rushes while playing in less than twice as many games, and also played in an era where defenses were more geared against the rush and blocking rules were more strict. (I think you could also tackle a guy by the face mask in those days.)

However, let's revisit this in three more seasons. Charles is quietly putting together one of the finest NFL careers ever. His yards per carry is so much better than anyone else's that it's almost unbelievable.

Wait until he's sharing a backfield with Geno...

A guy to keep defenses honest and safeties out of the box is all Charles needs to bust Dickerson's record wide open.

So if we need something to root for, 100 yards will give Jamaal the 4th-highest single-season rushing yards in team history, and 160 will get him up to 3rd. He needs 334 yards in to move into the #1 spot, though Larry Johnson had 145 more carries.

He better win the FedEx ground player award this week or that shit is fixed

FEDEX GROUND -- RUNNING BACK NOMINEES

Jamaal Charles, Kansas City ChiefsCharles 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.

Ray Rice, Baltimore RavensRice rushed for 107 yards on 24 carries in the Ravens' 33-14 win over the New York Giants.

C.J. Spiller, Buffalo BillsSpiller tallied 138 yards on 22 carries in the Bills' 24-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Jamaal had 200+ yards on 22 carries. LMAO! how could he not win

Jamaal for President

No kidding, get a couple of speedy WR's that can catch the ball with a good TE & a possession WR, Charles can pick his traffic lanes to fly on.:eek::drool:

Fun fact: Jamaal is in sole possession of 2nd place all-time in runs of 80+ yards. He's got 4, no one else has more than 3 except for Chris Jonson's 6.

One w/o the other is virtually worthless. If the opposing defense knows what you're going to do pre-snap, you'll fail more often than not. YES, a premier QB is more important than a premier HB. However, w/o balance to the offense, defenses with key to your strength and force you to beat them with your weakness (aka limiting Charles and forcing Casshole / Quinn to beat you).

If this current offense had a legitimate QB and possibly another receiving threat opposite Bowe, they'd be damn near impossible to stop.

No way man!! Should go to Knowshon for running for 3.5 YPC against a 6 man box and safeties 20 yards off the ball.

More than Barry? That's crazy.

Nothing but Love For Jamaal, best back in KC history....Now Let's gus a QB next year...and scare the crap out of everyone we face.

Put 8 in the box to stop Jamaal, and Geno will light up the secondary. Play a dime package to slow down the passing attack, then Jamaal will rip you to shreds 5-6 yards at a time. Pick your poison.

3 of those are this year too.

I'd like to see some stats of how many yards he's lost due to holding penalties. I can think of 3 good runs called back , 50, 30 and 30 I,m thinkin.

Lol, look at Baldwin barely keeping up.

he did a pretty good job on that play...didn't deliver a block or anything but he kept the defender from making a play

tru dat

This and at times some horrible blocking resulting in some big losses. Bet he should have an additional 200 yards from all the negative gains and holding calls.

JAMAAL CHARLES IS THE ONLY JC I WORSHIP

Well, when we do finally get a QB....it's even more JC rape. Hell, a slapdick like Slowshon can only muster 3 and a half yards a carry against a 6 man front with safeties 20 yards off the ball. Ridiculous how good Charles is when the D only focuses on him.

I think he runs just like Marcus Allen, with the big difference being he's much faster.

JC runs tall, has very long strides, amazing field vision, and tends to almost always fall forward for an extra yard. That's why I say that. Marcus did all of those things, but he couldn't fly like JC can.

Yep.

You don't have to lay a guy out to be successful.

For sure. I thought he looked fast too.

:hmmm: i do believe you're onto something there.

JC seems to do well because people are all in the box and he can break off big runs. I don't know about him getting tackled 30 times after 6 yards a play.

I'm sure that's helped him on a couple of those 80+ yard carries, but how many times has he only gotten 1, 2 or even negative yards because of that?

Jamaal Charles doesn't rely on huge runs to boost his average and never has. His 2010 season was a perfect indicator of that; the guy was consistently breaking off 6-10 yards a rush. I'd have to check the game logs but I don't think he had any more than a handful of 40+ yard runs that season..

His longest run that season was 80 vs St. Louis.

He needs to be a Chief for life, great story^

JC up for Ground player of the week

http://www.nfl.com/voting/players-ai...nd/2012/REG/16

Nice...

That's awesome.

That is really badass. Jamaal really is a fans' player.

That is awesome.

Great player AND person
