So the Bucs haven't really upgraded the RB room all that much.
You clearly haven’t watched Gainwell much. He’s an upgrade. 4.7 yards a carry behind an inferior line, is an upgrade.
I did not watch the Steelers much last year. Was there offensive scheme as bad as ours?
I think about the same. Just a point or two less in PPG. Described as boring, no big plays, short passing etc.
I think Gainwell ran for a better average than the Steelers RB1 (Waylen) and for sure caught more passes, but I think the reason he was voted MVP was his all around ability and his demeanor
""It's not a vote that any of us take lightly," said linebacker T.J. Watt, a five-time team MVP. "It's a huge honor. Kenny G, he's made so many plays in the run and pass.
"Great teammate as well. He works hard. Can't say enough great things about him as a player and as a teammate. So, I'm just excited for him."
"Kenny's been unbelievable in the passing game, just unbelievable," said quarterback Aaron Rodgers. "And he's so dang smart.
"You just love playing with that guy."
I liked White. He was also reportedly a good teammate, but I think Gainwell should be an upgrade.
The thing that makes it a tougher that straight comparison though is that Gainwell has just come on in the last year or two.So, when someone like Alldaway compared him to White by career rushing yards that is a little tough because White was the feature back in 2023, Gainwell just a back up etc.
I liked White. He was also reportedly a good teammate, but I think Gainwell should be an upgrade.
My biggest issue with White was his vision. There were times he just ran right into the defense. I don't know if Gainwell will be an upgrade, but I do not see him being a downgrade.
To clarify my position, I think Gainwell is a good back. I just think the blocking aspect White really exceled at and there were times when he kept Baker clean. I hope we haven't lost that. It is my hope with Gainwell that you get all of his positives and a surprise in the blocking game. I don't recall Tucker being that bad, but Bucky is absolutely no good at it.
