Remound Wright
On third down and 1 - 3 yards to go:
Wright had 28 touches, 19 first downs, and 5 touchdowns (in 2015); his success rate was 68%, his touchdown rate was 18%
Bryce Love had 14 touches, 2 first downs, and 1 touchdown (in 2017) (he had 4 first downs in 7 attempts in 2018); his success rate was 14%, his touchdown rate was 7%
Toby had 31 touches, 21 first downs, and 2 touchdowns (in 2009); his success rate was 68%, his touchdown rate was 6%
However, on third down and 1-3 yards to go:
In 2015 CMac had 16 touches, and got a first down 12 times (no touchdowns); his success rate was better than anyone at 75%
In 2016 (without WRight) CMac had 23 touches, got a first down 19 times, and had 1 TD. His success rate was 83%!
So to answer the OP's question. On third and short, I want Christian McCaffrey in the backfield.
