for the record Bijan has a higher YPC than jamaal while playing behind a much much much worse offensive line his whole career
I lol’d too. Love me some d’onta, but not in this convo. Even though he was a beast
I agree. I’m not trying to argue he’s a better rb, I’m saying Bijan has better all around tools. Which is what I was getting at with the MJ/Kobe portion of my post. Kobe wasn’t better overall player, but he was the more skilled basketball player overall
I’ve argued the same. I’m not sure I can think of another rb in my recent life that has all the moves Bijan has, and at an elite level. Only thing he doesn’t have is game breaking speed. Everything else, he’s as good as/better than anyone
edit: still doesn’t compare to Ricky Though
Highly limited league if your analysis is correct. Highly. The personnel we have is very avg. to be kind.
The young man’s numbers would be much, much better if he had some line play the last couple years.
I think there's a good chance Bijan is going in the top 2 rounds of fantasy drafts as a rookie.
Agreed. But given the posters alleged to have made those comments it’s quite possible.
The crazy thing is, he rarely has a hole to run through. And by rarely probably once per game.
Take a look at Saturdays game. These highlights are just of him and they show that the guy often times makes two or three cuts just to get past the LOS. He's a 2200 yard rusher this year with a great run blocking oline. Talent wise he's a top four Texas back for sure.

Great read Ketch.
I posted my thoughts on Bijan in another thread earlier today which your summary makes me feel like we’re aligned on how special Bijan is.
I appreciate you breaking down the next two weeks’ Big 12 key games and their implications. In a nutshell, we just need to win our next two…and ideally win out, particularly if we want to finish ranked in the Top 10 (or possibly Top 5)…and give Bijan a bigger stage to get much more public appreciation that the young man is deserving of.

Unfortunately it means. Bunch of 4th down go-for-it’s (TCU will do the same. They lead the country)
Never really considered it. Was mainly whether he is better than jamaal at the end.
where do you think he is on that list of greats? Compared to Jamal and Cedric.
@Ketchum we will find out this week. Cedric nearly single handily took down Ok State at home in ‘04 as part of that mega comeback.
Cedric will always be underrated. Unfortunately had to follow Ricky right after. Had one of the other ones been in-between it may be a deferent story.
also, he didn’t get injured. Has that over Bijan at the moment. Only injury I know of is 3rd snap of the TX Michigan game. Still played the entire thing as a “decoy”
Or if Tom had really used him more.
Agreed. No telling how many yards he has with 50% better line.
I wouldn't even know how to handicap it, other than to not use 85%.
To me, Bijan's running style reminds me of Emmitt Smith. Emmitt was not a burner like Jamal. He was not the physically punishing, tough-to-tackle bulldozer Earl was. He was not quite the power runner in the style of Ricky or Cedric. Emmett just made defenders miss. That is what Bijan does. As a receiver, I think he is better than Emmitt.
Nope. The McDonald guy on the line, but not because of yesterday. As a unit, they get results though
all that matters IMO is getting into the Big 12 title game.
The ranking doesn't matter at this point,.
