It’s also worth noting that Henry led the NFL in rushing attempts and had zero fumbles….something hasn’t happened in almost 40 years.   The last guy to do this was Gerald Riggs way back in 1985.   

Look at all those defenders chasing down a rolling tomato can!

Derrick Henry sure seems to get a lot of those "anybody could do it, perfectly blocked plays" ever since he was declared a bum by message board illuminati.    Luckiest back in history, I gue

My take is that Henry is still good but not really "elite" anymore and that having an elite back is a luxury at best anyway. It really won't do much absent an already functional offense.

 

And IMO if you're going to have an elite back I'd rather it be a Christian McCaffery or Bijan Robinson type in the modern NFL too.

Remember when RT was labeled elite and the critics said he was supposed to lift the team despite other problems if that were true?

 

The OP labeled Henry as elite just a few days ago.  Why isn't he lifting the rest of the team but also averaged only 2.2 YPC today, which is the exact opposite of lifting the team.

Henry is past his prime, and showing it. Still, no one in the league is going to function behind this plug and play O line. It's a joke. We make average guys look great.  I am just amazed that Vrabel did not see this coming and get JRob fired sooner. 

 The OP disagrees with you and still thinks Henry is elite.

Ummm... Because one plays RB one of the most dependent and least valuable positions and the other plays QB, the most valuable position and the one with most agency? The people that go out of their way to criticize either are being stupid though.

Do you think Henry is still elite?
