I'd put it more on the failures in execution of the young, developing offense.

So in 5 rushes Mack averaged 4.2 more yards per carry. All other runs he is averaging 2.0 yards per carry. Gore averages 3.0 yards per carry.




Mack had a 24 yard run against the Rams... sounds great but he had 10 carries in that game for a total of 24 yards. 9 rushes zero gain.

In the Tenn game he had a long run of 22 yards His stat line was 2 rushes for 18 yards. So run 2 was a loss of 4.

He has big runs. He he does.... but he loses more yards than most fans realize.

Arizona he had 6 carries for -3 yards and a long of 3.

He is not even close to being able to replace Gore.... in fact if they feel the need to replace Gore they need to sign a FA or draft a starting RB
I did not say he can replace Gore. I thought I was pretty clear in what I stated that is not what I am suggesting. They do different things and are different plays,

But they can use him more than they are and they can use him in different ways than Gore.

But if you want stats :

Those double digit runs are in 59 attempts for Mack and 144 for Gore, so Mack is more than twice as likely to break a run for longer than 10 yards

Mack long run is 35 yards and Gores is 21 yards, big difference.

Pass catching, Gore is 18 for 152 and Mack is 12 for 129, a 6 yards per catch vs. 11 yards per catch.

I feel like Gore should stay the workhorse, but clearly, Mack needs to be worked into the game better and more often. I am not convinced Mack is an every down back, but a versatile change of pace back and if he works on his hands and blocking a 3rd down guy. A good coaching staff would find a way to get the most out of him. Maybe next year, sigh.

The team is going to have to find another back for next season beyond Gore anyway.

Going into the season with a primary back that is 35 years old is stupid.

I envision Mack as more like Dominic Rhodes, who was great as a secondary change of pace back and different than Addai. They made a great combination. They should have been the co-MVPs of SB XLI.

Rhodes doesn't get enough credit. He and AV carried the Colts to the win against Baltimore in the 2006 playoffs. Without that effort, still no Indy Colts championship.

Do you really have no issues with Chud's play calling? No wonder why you love Clappy so much.
