Re: McGees best year vs McKelvin

Nowhere in there do you have attempts listed. What if McGee got 1370 yards on 12 returns while McKelvin has 888 on 85 returns?

Our defense was putrid back then too so I am sure that McGee wa getting more than his share of KOs.

Then look at the average. That shows how good each was. McKelvin in his 1st year is averaging only 5 yards under the greatest returner in bills history.

Re: McGees best year vs McKelvin

5 yards per return is VERY significant on returns. Its the difference between the 30 and the 35.

But thats also with McGee in his 3rd or 4th year returning kicks compared to mckelvins 1st.

only to an extent though.

While I dont have anything to back this, -I'd bet that a running back who gets 25 touches a game will average more than a running back who only gets 10 touches.

You have a better chance of a big play with more touches.

I believe that was actually McGee in his second season - and he only returned a handful of kicks his rookie year. There is also the matter of those three touchdowns. That is not to say McKelvin is a bad returner, just that there is a big difference between being good and pro bowl good.

Re: McGees best year vs McKelvin

i'm not one the anti-mckelvin boat by any means. i realize he's a rookie, but mcgee also contributed on defense at the time. he wasn't just a special teams expert.

So if you compare the two, mckelvin is showing promise in the return game, but he isn't as helpful as mcgee was during that year he was studly.

I believe one of his returns that season won a guy a truck or 100,000 bucks. i forget which.

Re: McGees best year vs McKelvin

Just wondering why Rosco doesn't get a shot at Kick offs also?

ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!

McGee actually struggled on D early in his career, but at least he was out there and not on the bench behind Ashton Youboty, Ko Simpson and Reggie Corner.

Re: McGees best year vs McKelvin

McGee had 3 TDs his first year as the main KO returner.

Re: McGees best year vs McKelvin

Those McGee stats look VERY SUSPECT... I agree with the poster who said that " we need to see attampts".. McGee was on fire that season & was breaking one atleast twice a game. Not for scores, but to the 50-ish.......

--Now if only McGee could play better CB..
