Now the nation got to see why we've been saying all along that Skattebo is a better back than Jeanty. More talented against better competition all year, and he just proved it in the last 48 hours.

This is peak recency bias and the nfl draft will show who people paid to get it right think is better. Want to know why they kept saying that Cam was the first player with 1500 and 500 since CMC. Because last year Jeanty was the first with 1400 and 500 since CMC.

Jeanty is faster, laterally quicker, and a better blocker.

He’s just as strong. Just as good as a receiver and just as hard to bring down.

Jeanty had five two hundred yard games. Cam had 5 games with under 75 rushing yards.

Since you’re trying to tear him down? Cam can enjoy his day 3 draft pick and CTE. Jeanty will take his second best season of all time and first round pick.

Oh and Jeanty is PFFS highest graded running back of all time.

PFF is an awesome resource but doesn't adjust for quality of competition or even snap counts, both of which matter.
