Re: High Praise for Bernard Pierce
Because of use, and a checkdown passing attack basically. Also a 16 game schedule, not a 14 or 12 game schedule. I think Rice is "good" back, not "elite".
In the Ravens history they have had a good RB since 2000 every year, no matter who carries the ball. Only Jamals 2000 yard season with an 8 man box front stands out. Rice is good, but not Canton bound by any means. Pierce is a "better" runner/ his pass catching abilities are YTD. Peirce might be a "great" or good receiving back, he hasnt been used in that capacity yet so we dont know. It's like basketball teams, someone is going to average 15-20 points a game on a bad team, doesnt mean he is a "elite" player. Points like yards are going to happen when given opportunities. Peirce, IMO has better RB skills. Just my opinion, only based on what I've observed. Rice is used exactly like Lydell was if you are old enough to remember. Rice is quality, no doubt.
