(S6) - PT4 - Frustrations

[PigSnout]

Expectations were big for Boss Tweed entering this season. He had just broken 1000 TPE and had been named the #3 player in the league in the Top 50 rankings. The Yeti invested heavily in run blocking for their offensive line and Sebasation Joyce switched to a fullback to provide the Yeti with a lead blocker. Everything was coming together for Tweed to have a big year after under performing in his last two years and to maybe have a chance at finally winning the running back of the year award. So naturally, he has been one of the worst running backs in the league this year. The running back buffs have been great as 6 of 8 starting backs are 4 yards per carry or better this season. However, Tweed is one of the 2 running backs who isn't as his YPC is a poor 3.7 right now. Usually the argument could be made that Tweed was less efficient due to having one of the largest workloads among running backs. However, this year he is tied for 5th most carries among running backs. Somehow, despite less usage, he has only gotten less efficient relative to other running backs. This is a concerning trend considering that Tweed has been regressing relative to other running backs since Season 4 despite continuing to improve and earn TPE at a good rate. With Tweed running out of attributes to improve and nearing regression while the younger running backs outperforming him will only continue to improve, it's possible he may never be a top performing running back again at this point. This is Tweed's 5th year as the best running back by TPE, but he has never been able to win running back of the year so far and that looks unlikely to happen in the next few years at this point. It's hard to argue any player has been more disappointing relative to their TPE level this season. Playing on a 0-9 team hasn't helped the frustration for Tweed this season. Tweed's last 2 games have looked better so hopefully it's a sign that he'll be able to have a big finish to the season and build some momentum heading into the final year of his prime.
