Wingo will have a monster year next year. He struggled to catch wounded ducks from Ewers. How many touchdowns did Wingo have this season? How many of those were games in which Arch started?

He had two receiving TDs both from Arch.

I understand where you’re coming from, but it is a condemnation of Mitchell.  I do not disagree with the premise that a backup could be better.  This not a good example of the second string being way better.

Ricky as a freshman was not the same as Ricky as a junior or senior.  I am one that believes an frosh can be productive but generally lacks in the intangibles relative to a more experienced player.  And even on a per tote basis Michell’s 1995 was better than Ricky’s senior year.  Based on Priests numbers and return from injury, it’s difficult to argue he was better than Shon at that time.

Priest was awesome versus UNC then memorable versus Nebraska but otherwise somewhat pedestrian.  I don’t necessarily blame that on him as he proved with the Chiefs that he could get it done.  And in a big way.  Priest is a great example of timing, needing an opportunity and then situationally being in the right fit.  You could say NFL teams missed on him twice.  I’m not arguing for it, but someone could argue that Priest was a better RB than Lewis yet backed him up.

Ricky and Priest were pretty special at times with Ricky being more special at Texas and Priest more so in the pros.  Shon if he were to come through now, he might be viewed differently in a positive way since his skills/frame are better suited to the open field game.  As for talent, Priest/Ricky are up there.  I might just add that’s a pretty talented and balanced threesome.

 

Now as for Manning last year, I won’t buy others argument that he wasn’t ready or that he was less likely to get the job done.  We don’t know that he wasn’t better suited than Ewers last year.  We certainly saw glimpses that he could have been.

Watched a video of Holmes' years at KC. He was a friggin' superstar. Stats, epic plays, you name it.

Priest was a fuckin' monster. Also won me 2 or 3 FF seasons at his peak.
