The one thing where Javonte transforms from solid to great is that he’s a terrific short yardage back for his size.

Because he runs through contact. Which was my original point.

I think he absolutely can do it again.

I think, to Ravi’s point, it was even actually a quiet 1200 yards. You remember high impact Barber plays. Javonte just churned out 70-80 yards every week with consistency.

He's just a very solid back in compliment to a high end pass game. You wouldn’t want him in the Saquon Barkley “carry the offense” role but when you have the high end passing game, he’s basically perfect. Cheap, unassuming, productive, consistent, reliable.

Right, but Ravi is saying 'yeah but he's not Marion Barber.'

When did Barber ever carry the offense?

I don't think Barber has all these high impact plays that Williams is lacking. Unless I blacked out somewhere along the line and Barber carried us to a super bowl or something?

I think you're both saying the same thing. Or, I could be an idiot as usual and be completely wrong.
 
I wasn't here then, but what was the DCC consensus on starting Barber for that 2007 Giants playoff game?
 
Although, I'm sure Booze shit on the decision. I don't know that for sure, just playing the odds. :unsure

I'll amend this, @Genghis Khan, to say Williams lacks the things that made us remember Marion Barber.

Production wise, Williams was sure and steady, though better to start the season, and more productive overall than Barber. He's just not, well, memorable.

I certainly don't want to come across like I hate the guy, Hell he was a major part of the offense last year and I'm grateful to have him.
