Lacy actually has a higher YPC than Stacy FYI.
Lacy faced 8 man fronts for a significant portion of the season with Rodgers out and almost single handedly kept us in the play-off hunt. Rodgers gets the credit for coming back against the Bears and winning but we would not be in that position without Lacy. He is a beast. I'm not sure if these stats still hold up because i remember reading them before we played the Steelers but Lacy lead the league in rushing yards from week 5 onwards (he played week 1, concussion week 2 1st run, out week 3, bye week 4). He did lead the league in yards after contact too. On top of that he has the 3rd most td's among RB's (one behind Charles and Lynch). Statisically and factually he has been excellent - as for playing the Bears....the first game was when Rodgers got injured and last week he was hobbled.
If i had a vote for ORoY it would be:
1. Eddie Lacy
2. Cordarelle Patterson
3. Keenan Allen
Can't wait to play the 49ers this week. Weather is supposed to be atrociously cold so we are going to have an interesting game. Even if we go 1 and done in the play-offs (distinctly possible) it has been a great season as a Packer fan despite the record.
Yeah because the Rams and Stacy faced D's afraid of the pass with Clemens out there
The pair were on 4.1 YPC going into week 17. Not seen any stats since. You know the Bears rush D was horrific all year and essentially a gimme 150 for opposing RBs?
I just don't buy it. Guy has similar stats to a 5th rounder who played on a worse team against better teams (throughout the course of the season).
Don't get how you place Lacy over Allen or even Mike Glennon who played pretty well given the circumstances he got the job. Both positions far harder to enter the league in than at running back. Then again you've shown yourself to be more than a little blinkered when it comes to the Packers.
Cordarrelle Patterson is great but if you can be OROY off the back of less than 500 receiving yards and 150 rushing yards then the worlds gone mad.
