Re: Someone tried to convince me that Barry Sanders is not the greates
Caveat: I am not trying to make the claim Faulk is better then Smith. I am simply defending the fact that he has had more than 3 great seasons. I argue that he was an elite back in the league for 6, perhaps 7 seasons.
[ QUOTE ] Actually, he only had 5 such seasons. [/ QUOTE ] my mistake [ QUOTE ] 1700 yards isn't some huge, upper-tier number. Last year, 8 guys reached 1700 all purpose yards [/ QUOTE ] 8 guys, 32 teams... 25%, ignoring the multiple other backs who get touches. 25% is pretty much upper tier. Also, you must ackowledge how much of an effect they have when they don't touch the ball. Faulk had a huge impact. [ QUOTE ] But you really have to take into account the number of touches a guy gets. Sometimes the guy who had the better year is the one with less yards. [/ QUOTE ] And you really have to take into the account that avg yd per rush is not the only way to judge a back. |
