Statistically, analytically and eye test says he was. He seemed to lose some of his strength when he lost weight and never really got it back in time. Maybe saying he got worse wasn’t accurate but he didn’t improve.

There's definitely some truth to this I think but the other contributing factor was how frequently he was taking on double teams
Lol! I’ll give you the recruiting part, brother. If for nothing else than being a big part of landing Trae.
Developing? I know it’s a debatable topic, but I’m firmly on the side of “not convinced”.
I think thats at least an argument. Could have paid Princewill more and could have given McGahee more PT/not brought in McCullough over him.
Think the McGahee argument is stupid.
Hate to opine much on money situations with knowing little to no detail. What would it have cost to keep him? Do we lose anyone giving him a raise and not another player? What would it cost to then keep that player? Lot of unknowns.
I don't know. Hard for me to not credit Barthel at least somewhat in Emmitt's development.
Seems odd I have to downplay what EJ's position coach has done in order to have a reasonable conversation about him. Glenn Thomas is shit because our QBs are shit. Barthel is shit because he had nothing to do with EJ being the best RB in the B1G/Country.
That one's hard for me to figure out.
Just come up with whatever argument supports the position you’ve already taken regardless of whether it’s consistent with any other argument you may make.
Snaps 504 2023 vs 440 2014
18 tackles vs 12
20 pressures vs 19
7 sacks vs 2 (4 sacks in one game in 2023)
Slightly worse statistics in 64 less snaps.
Eye test don't remember any difference. My guess is @ChocaEgg probably started the Nash isnt as good as last year and some people bit. Agree that he didn't improve though.
BTW Princewill played a lot more the 1st half of 2024 vs 2023. His snaps dropped the 2nd half after him allegedly demanding more money during the season. He ended up with 203 vs 250 the year before but 142 1st 6 games 61 the last 6.
I'd much preferred they figured out a way to pay him enough to keep him but hard to say how realistic that was without knowing anything.
1% oil revenue royalty...no fucking way. As someone who works in that world...aint nobody giving a football player that's going to play 1-2 years for them 1% royalty in perpetuity or even for a 12 month period. That could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Give him another shot I’d say he learned his lesson
I love Emmett but that's an unreasonable stretch. At least I don't think so. If he's the 1st RB taken in the draft from the B1G you can bump this and make fun of me.
The rumor back in the day was that TCU boosters gave Gary Patterson some kind of royalty deal, but it was rumored to be maybe $10-20 million. That's reasonable to keep a coach
He won B1G running back of the year and was a top-3 to 5 running back, production-wise.

Wasn't trying to say he was the best running back in the country, just one of the best.
Tell Patterson to create an LLC, assign the LLC an ORRI in a producing lease, put a term on the ORRI, like the length of his contract. That makes sense I suppose. But think about the volatility of that, if oil is where it's at now that ORRI is worth a lot less than it was 4 years ago. Or say that well dries up (less likely in the Permian but not impossible) now that ORRI is worth nothing at all. That interest could be worth millions 1 year and zero the next year.

Could you imagine how mad all of you would be when I pulled a Warren Buffett?
