I know the title is my own question, but I'm going to answer my own question. This guy has very clearly shown that last year was an absolute fluke. He can't do anything worth a shit and if Veach wouldn't have given him a stupid ass extension, then he'd be off this team. In what universe do you keep giving the ball to a guy that has 41 rushes for 70 yards and 1.7 ypc. This last game was absolute dog shit 11 total touches for 6 ****ing yards. Are you kidding me? He shouldn't touch the ball again.
Bad is an understatement. He's horrendous. Literally the absolute worst back in the league. There are 43 qualified players and he ranks 43rd in ypc. He's at 1.7 ypc and no one else is under 3.0 ypc. The distance between him and the 42nd rank player, Le'Veon Bell, is 1.3 ypc. The distance between Le'Veon Bell and the 20th ranked player, Chris Carson, is 1.3 ypc.
This is definitely something that needs brought up more. That's gotta be some kind of record for worst ever. We are seeing history boys. The absolute worst RB performance in the history of the game or close. I took off the hide non qualifiers filter and it looks even worse. He's 192 out of 227. There are only 5 other players with 10+ carries that average less ypc, it's pretty much a Who's Who of most electric runners in the league.
#194 Kalen Ballage - 22 car/36 yards/1.6 ypc/13 carries since being demoted from being a starter 3 games ago
#198 Joe Flacco - 11 car/11 yards/1.0 ypc/He's a statue of a QB. **** id hope Williams would have more ypc than this bum. Spoiler alert - all the rest of this list is the same. Statue QBs.
#208 Jared Goff
#210 Jimmy G.
#213 Tom Brady
Did some more research and going all the way back to 1999, so 20 other years, and the lowest ypc for qualified runners is 2.5 ypc in 1999. The average of all the lowest ypc is 2.9. I can't believe how bad that he has been. There is no way anyone can even try to defend him. He's the king of shit fest running backs and for Reid to continue to allow him to play is egregious.

I don't give a fuck if he's hurt. Last night one RB averaged 5.3 ypc and the other averaged 0.8 ypc and they almost had the same amount of carries. It's pathetic. He doesn't do anything good he has 56 touches (rec and rushing) on the year and 185 yards, that's fucking 3.3 yards per touch. Holy shit. That's disgusting. He's the Cam Erving of the RBs. The fact that either Darrel(sp?)Williams or Darwin Thompson aren't getting his carries is one of the stupidest fucking things Andy is doing. Its only because Veach extended him. How fucking retarded. It looks like he gets $18,750/game that he's active. I have an idea, don't let him be active. [Reply]
No reason he should be getting the ball at this point. Not even a question. Whether it's injury or the fact he was never good. My bet is on the latter considering the Dolphins didn't consider him worth their time. [Reply]
Another thing to consider. You think he was bad the last few weeks with Patrick MVP Mahomes as his QB? Just wait until the next few weeks when the defense won't fear our QB. They will stack the box and he will be wishing his ypc was 1.7. He's about to get a fuck ton worse. [Reply]

Thank you for that!
I'll fantasize about the days of Mike Cloud. [Reply]
It's like you're looking for something to bitch about with this post! Damian was, is, and will be …. a good back, when needed.
He hasn't been utilized like he was after Hunt left either. Then he gets hurt. Show me a running back by committee team where every back is performing like an All-Pro? The purpose of running backs by committee is to keep the lead back fresh through the whole season......not that all three or four backs are going to gain 100 yds each week!!!!
Give Damian the starter role back and he'll produce. This talk of him being a waste is just plain BS! [Reply]

I tried to tell you guys this at the beginning of the year. He was coming off of three years in a row sub 3.5 ypc before coming to the Chuefs. He is an above avg RB as a receiver though [Reply]
