Parcells has always said this. like anything else, no stat can be taken in a vacuum, though. there's a good reason why only a couple guys have averaged over 5 YPC over a season - they are better than everyone else.

my simple feeling is that there a few guys who are head and shoulders above everyone else, a bunch of guys who are similarly talented thay may perform better/worse depending on their team, and a few teams who really need an upgrade at RB.

no big mystery
