The Jordan Howard Appreciation Thread

Finally...a thread dedicated to a player's performance who has actually done something to deserve one!

Howard has been a very nice piece from the get go you could see how he was better then Langford and Carey(other mid round picks), he's got a slow 2nd gear so he's likely to get brought down from behind on longer runs(happened the last 2 games) but he's more then good enough to be a starter. He's a nice bruising back that can and will wear down a Def front, but can still catch the ball out of the backfield which is an important piece for the new era of NFL for RB's.

Not very often does any team have to draft a RB in the first round but if you already have a solid team and just need play makers you might as well take one if he's clearly the best. Elliott was the best RB by far and he's been a perfect fit for Dallas. I don't think Howard does the same with Dallas although I know he would be putting up better numbers than he has with the Bears. I won't discount the fact Elliott has a great OL to run behind.

I really liked the Howard pick and it's been paying off this year. He's been a bright spot on this team but he is not as good as Elliott.

Best OL does'nt help you get from 30 yards down field to the GL.
