Cam Skattebo predicts 2,000 yards after forgetting basic math works

Cam Skattebo is already in midseason Giants form, which means he’s saying stupid shit.

The Giants running back is coming off a brutal leg injury that ended his rookie season in Week 8. He says he will be ready for Week 1. Good for him. Seriously. Injuries suck, and nobody should root against a player getting healthy.

Then he kept talking.

Skattebo said he had 400 yards on 100 carries last season. Then he said that when he plays 17-plus games this year, that turns into 300 carries for over 2,000 yards.

Cam Skattebo CTE case is worse than expected I fear

Cam Skattebo believes full season will equate to big numbers for him: "I had 400 yards on 100 carries. When I play 17-plus games this year, it's going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards."https://t.co/zBrGW980np

Buddy.

That is not how math works.

Four hundred yards on 100 carries is 4.0 yards per carry. If you multiply that by 300 carries, you get 1,200 yards. Not 2,000. Not close to 2,000. Not even “we got a little creative with the calculator” close.

To hit 2,000 yards on 300 carries, Cam Skattebo would need to average almost 6.7 yards per carry. Derrick Henry has only averaged 6.0 yards per carry once in his career. Saquon Barkley has never done it. Barry Sanders did it once. But sure, the second-year Giants running back coming off a leg injury is just going to casually live there for an entire season.

This is the type of quote that belongs on a whiteboard in a remedial algebra class.

And look, confidence is great. Every athlete should believe in himself. But there is a difference between confidence and doing fake numbers out loud in front of people with recording devices.

The funniest part is the Giants probably need him to be good. Their offense was disgusting before he started giving it some actual juice last season. He runs hard. He plays angry. He is easy to like as a football player.

But 2,000 yards?

Come on.

Cam Skattebo might be ready for Week 1. His calculator clearly is not.
