But I'd be willing to make a small wager (I'm not much of a betting man) that, if the Shaun Alexander doesn't return to Seattle, their RBs will combined run for 1500 yards.

Bold prediction. In 2004, 28 of 32 NFL teams rushed for 1500 yards. I don't feel like going through each team's stats to subtract QB rushing and end-arounds, but let's guess 300 yards for that. Still, 18 of the 32 had 1800 total, or probably 1500 from RBs.

This just adds to my point. If almost every team rushes for 1500 yds, why the hell do we still make such a big deal out of having a 1000 yard rusher?
