Great and I asked you to list the games and explain why you think we lose without Howard and why his replacement would suck in those games.
Otherwise, not sure your point.
What do you want? Me to speculate the drive-by-drive boxscore of what happens when the O is less effective without Howard justifying a lower score than the opponent? So you can take that exercise apart as speculation (which it would be) and avoid the cold, hard fact that without Howard, our offense is less effective in a handful of games last year?
Why should I explain how we lose without Howard by replacing him with Mizzell or Cunningham? Don't you already know that's patently true?
I specifically said he had 3-4 good games based on high YPC and decent production. I remember multiple drives in these games where Howard had the opposing D on its heels and Mitch looked more relaxed and comfortable in the offense due to Howard gashing them.
Howard was basically the only real running threat an opposing D had to face last year outside of QB scrambles and trick sweeps - especially later in the year.
See how you always reply but never talk WITH me?
