Seems like the coaching staff does too

Coach think?

What's astounding is we've seen what a Bucky and Tucker backfield looks like without White. They combined for 297 total yards, 3 TDs and 7.8 ypc and we scored 51 points.

 

 

How many way can you say "the Saints game?"

 

wait, if you add on about 16 more yards you could say "both Saints games?"

 

no nope  . . never mind, scratch that  . . . 16 more yards is just Tucker but Tucker gets credit for the TD and 89 from Bucky, right?  He was "on the field" for some of that

Clearly something needs to improve (blitz pick-up anyone?) in Tucker’s game, but he has enough talent & IQ to play behind this line, in this offense.

White’s elite in our pass game attack, but he needs space. Would be great if we had a speed back that could attack outside… but I’m just greedy that way.

Agree that most of us like, but know, what we have in Tucker. He’s nice, but his career is not being stifled by a conspiracy in the coaching staff.

White is a player that you won't know what you're missing until he's gone

Criticizing Tucker for only having 16 yards vs the Saints Week 18 when he only had 2 carries isn't the flex you think it is. That's the game where Bucky had 4 carries for 36 yards in the first half but Duval was 75% pass and we only had 6 points at half time.

But Bucs fans and media still want to hang on to White in a role above Tucker. If the Bucs are going to get over the hump they have to run the ball more in the body of the game, better at the end of games and tougher at the goal line. That means less White. Tucker and Bucky should be RB1a and RB1b just the Saints game. Trade White for a Day 3 pick, draft a RB in this good class and control him for cheap for 4 years. 

I wouldn't even have a problem with Bucky/Tucker as 1a and 1b and trading White etc. But it still doesn't change anything.

White is still a better all around PLAYER than Tucker. 

I like Tucker. I think most of us like him...

But my god you're making it really hard with your homerism.

 

 

You're wrong about White being better than Tucker. The only homerism is me wanting the Bucs to be better. A big chunk of that is Tucker getting White's snaps.

Well, if Tucker stops leading the team in fumble rate per carry, being the worst 1st half ypc back on the roster, and stop blocking air in pass protection; perhaps he’d get more snaps.

As bad as Tucker was, Bucky was abysmal in those regards.

I knew the tape all year was bad, but even PFF had him at a 29.2 grade. Not sure I’ve ever seen one that bad.

Hope it’s a huge emphasis for him in the offseason.

Tucker is a net positive and White is a net negative.

Nothing I said was untrue. 

Cope more, kiddo.

I remember when Speedy Scottie Miller was a net positive and Antonio Brown was a net negative.

That wasn't true then and this isn't true now, no matter how many times you'd like to say it. But it is pretty humorous to continue to see this nonsense from you.

I provided data that showed Tom Brady's QBR was higher with Scotty Miller as the #3 as opposed to Antonio Brown. I never said AB was a net negative. 

Rachaad White's analytics are literally in the bottom of the league. Having a negative rushing EPA behind this OL is criminal. He doesn't need snaps, touches and shouldn't be on the team anymore. Enough is enough.

Actually, he does. This has been proven time and time again.

It just doesn’t fit your narrative.

In your world, we should be shopping Tucker (Emmitt Smith 2.0) for a 1st and 2nd rounder. We can draft a RB3 later in this robust RB draft.

Add this to the ever growing list of dumb shit the “former NFL GM” has stated over recent years.

Here is some more data on Speedy Scotty Miller since you were pimping him like you are now pimping Tucker:

In two seasons - 16 receptions, 230 yards, 14.4 YPC, and 2 TD's

Impressive stuff. It's almost like your data was completely worthless, like you were told by everyone on here. Sounds a little familiar.
