Christian not on first (3 RB) or second (2 RB) team for FWAA at RB. That means they see him as, at best, the sixth best RB in the country.

I am guessing that many of the voters, when they imagine a RB, think simply in terms of being handed the ball and not many of the other things that RB can do, e.g., block, catch, and even throw.

-m.

Yeah, Christian and his mere 1847 yards rushing.

Voters, at all times and at all places, aren't smart. The players who win the awards give them value, not the other way around. How many Oscars did Pulp Fiction win?

And John Wayne got an Oscar for "True Grit" over Dustin Hoffman in "Midnight Cowboy".
