Yeah, but Charles was never on a playoff team that had a chance.
If you're a defensive coordinator, do you concentrate your efforts on Matt Cassel or Jamaal Charles? How about Patrick Mahomes II or Damien Williams?
Damien's great so that's no slight against him at all, but Charles was a championship caliber running back who played on teams that had no shot at a championship.
