if you're telling me Hayes was not the strongest weapon on the team and he was still the featured offensive player, I'd be surprised.
Obviously this is my opinion so it's not worth the 2 cents, but Isaiah, Bucky, Cam and Evans were weapons, use them in 16. Cam was the only real weapon in 17, used the heck out of him til he got hurt. Hazelton and Turner (at the end) and to an extent Peoples in 18. None of those guys except Isaiah and maybe Bucky were on Ryan Williams or David Wilson level of effectiveness but you still had to have a QB get the first two the ball. They were both 200+ lbs and shifty to make folks miss so they could handle pass protect and ball carrying duties. Our recent guys have had 1 but not the other quality. Again, my 2 cents. That's all it's worth.
