Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.

Haha, I love Sproles. We had a legend in our town named Ell Roberson who played with Sproles at K-State. Darren is one of those inspirational guys. Can't ever let people pre-judge a player based on their size.
Clyde's talent reminds me a lot of Sproles. Very special quickness, burst, and start/stop ability. Clyde's got a little more size to him as well, which is great for NFL level. [Reply]

To say it was death by 1,000 papercuts isn't accurate. It wasn't even a series of body blows. It was more like repeated stab-wounds.
I was completely convinced that Charles could've set the single-game yardage record in that game. We still had Jones as the 'starter' and he got something like 20 carries in that game.
And I think it was the season before he had a similar game against Denver where he damn near DID set the record. Had over 250 yards IIRC. And then they had a drive late in the game starting deep in their own territory when it was already decided and the season was over (in a year they lost 11 or 12 games). He had a shot to break that damn record and for whatever reason Haley gives it to some scrub backup 3 times to burn clock and punts.
When a guy has a shot at history, you let him try it. It always chapped my ass that they didn't.
Yeah, that last game against Denver, he went nuts. I remember Haley saying something about having to play them again next year or whatever. Dumb shit.
2013 Charles with Andy was a legit MVP candidate, he was incredible. In 2014 he had a game against Seattle in KC where he was just everywhere.

Injuries just wiped him out.
Haley was just such a royal cocksmoker.
That fucking guy doesn't have a single redeeming quality. I'll bet his pets even hate him. He probably has goldfish that choose to starve to death rather than live in the same home as him.

If his knees would of held together, and his ankles(?) it would have been even more incredible to see what he would have accomplished [Reply]

Thanks for throwing us a bone that year, NFL script writers.
Triggered boy is triggered...always triggered...it's what you do.
I guess you think this makes you appear intelligent...? Were you hugging your Goodell doll while typing that? [Reply]

No you're not...you follow me around and repeatedly do this.
It's like you have to post that shit to convince yourself....it's not going to change my observations. So why bother...to each their own...I guess?
The more people you get to agree with you...somehow makes you correct?
How about this...you believe the NFL in unfettered pure sport...and I believe it's sport merged with a multi-billion dollar corporation and the advertising/betting industry...that is profit/ratings driven.

People cant still be this detached...can they?
Makes sense. I bet the Broncos purposely fell over because Vegas. They musta got the message from the higher-ups in the league to go ahead and let Charles run for 259.
I mean, Matt Cassel sure AF wasn't going to be able to complete passes to wide open receivers.
Probably a two-bird, one stone thing as well.
Chiefs fans needed something to celebrate so the NFL threw them a bone with Charles, and then that helps boost season ticket sales for the following season.
I mean, 259 is an anomaly for sure, AND it happened on the last game of the season? Too much of a coincidence don't you agree?
Anyway, surely we both agree that Charles wasn't that special and he never woulda ran for 259 without the help of the NFL script writers, but thanks for the trip down memory lane! That was the BEST script of the 2009 season! [Reply]
