Okay this gets nuanced and will take a lot to discuss. THREAD:
First off Jeanty has superior vision than Washington and perhaps when fully healthy can break more tackles...but you will never be fully healthy playing RB in the NFL.
Washington on the other hand is the superior athlete and adds a homerun element lacking with Jeanty
Gonna go ahead and say my piece on this and I'm sure this won't age poorly:
If this was for his comments before the game, fine, I get it. If this is about the play of Jeanty vs Mike Washington, I seriously need to call into question Kubiak's ability to evaluate RB play.
If you watch these games their run scheme is an absolute disaster in execution and whenever Jeanty was on the field, he'd often face 8+ guys in the box with first level penetration. Whenever Washington was on the field teams lightened the box intentionally and this is why he was able to spring explosive runs, but he'd still struggle to create consistent gains, or force missed tackles.
The Jets game was a blowup spot for their run game. They benched JPJ for Trey Zuhn and the Jets were missing Sweat. The fact Washington couldn't force a single missed tackle in 25 attempts on top of inefficiency isn't good.
You gave Zach Charbonnet almost as many carries last year as K9. It took a season ending injury to Charbs for K9 to eclipse more than 19 attempts in a game last season. There is keeping your guys fresh and then there is just blatant misuse of talent.
The passing game is incredible and there's a reason Kubiak was held in high esteem during the coaching cycle and he has proven that just this season. Miss me with his whole comments about the run game.
Kubiak limiting these guys carries doesnt make sense to us fans who want to win now, but Kubiak has a multi year plan in place. He wants Jeanty at his best in the next couple seasons (When Mendoza assumes the QB1 spot), not just this week.
Fans dont like that but its reality.
So back to Kubiak with Walker/Charbonnet.
Hawks won the super bowl splitting carries all season. And it allowed Walker to be fresh during the playoff run. Kubiak likely believes this wouldnt have happened if they simply gave Walker (the better runner) all the carries over Charbonnet (the better athlete)
