[/ QUOTE ]Would you rather have Tomlinson AND Reggie Bush on team or just Adrian Peterson? Seems like a better question at this point.

296 yards = not overrated

plus he's in a crappy team

[Jack of Arcades]

The Vikings are not a crappy team.

I would like to see this analysis ignoring big runs for both backs. Just to see how much those big runs inflate his ypc.

How is it really inflation, though? He busts them all the time. Someone said 9 runs over 50 yards? It's not like it is someone with 20 carries for 1 yard busting 100 yarder. He has had a good % of his carries for "long" runs.

It isn't just variance.

A RB who carries it for 4 yds 100% of the time is more valuable than a RB who carries it for 0 yds 90% of the time, and 40 yds 10% of the time.

Pre 1st down yardage > Post 1st down yardage.

Yes, but 4th and 40 to goal line who do you go with?

[/ QUOTE ]Of course. That really has nothing to do with anything though.
