I think the big one is how RBs seem to be either extremely great or extremely inconsistant. Now I say this with a slide eye towards what we saw in general in the preseason and now what we are seeing in the regular season after the RB changes have gone through. What I mean by inconsistant is that it seems RBs on average run less yards per average. However on the other side of that coin we just had a a few of the biggest RB showings in league history. We saw baby Yoda blow up the league with 280 yards a record. The previous record being 221, which wasnt even a record but a cheating 79 speed qb. So it's mental that that record has been shattered 2 weeks into a new sim. Then we look at the other side of the coin and we see Petrongolo, a rb vet at this point, who gets 21 yards on 12 attempts and has an average of 1.8 yards per carry. Compared to Yoda's 14! yard per average carry.
It is still very early day ofcourse with only 2 sims played, so the averages should balance out a bit, but early on it gives the impression that RBs are gonna be struggling especially 2nd string rbs.
