Warrior General Games

By itself, the YPC stat is like getting a bronze medal in a three person race. Translation = Doesnt mean a whole lot.

Did he run all over them in a losing effort? Is he consistently running over both good teams and bad? Is he a redzone monster? Does he have a knack for the endzone? Are his rushing yards accumulated at the beginning of the game, during an effort to control time of possession and win the game, or in garbage time, after the outcome has been decided?

Now, if those questions can be answered about ANY running back and there are more positives than negatives, combined with YPC, there is an argument for a running back being the best. Otherwise, it's just smoke.


+1

you forgot the how good is his oline. the oline imo is the running backs biggest weapon also a QB's. no oline means poor yards for both RB and QB.

Who's Darnello Jefferson?

Good question, who is this guy really? Gaining more than two thirds of his yards in one game... I'll congratulate if he still has a good YPC average at the end of the season.

Well, it's the end of the season:

8.5 ypc, 21685.5 yards, 35 tds.

Not too shabby, especially considering he is part of a FOUR-pronged running attack. Yes, that's right, four rushers with 1000+ yard seasons...

Might want to check your decimal points.

He's no good unless he gets at least 22,000 yards.

21,000 is good enough imo.

I'd say he's in the top 600 to 700 running backss in GLBZ right now. I couldn't rate him any higher though.

Darnello is the best back in the league. Period.

still think so? ROBINSON 4322 yds, avg 270/game, 8.7ypc, 62 td, 26 rec 374, 4 tds

our other back had 1740 yds

Dogs had number one offense in AA2.

Dogs scored 207 td. The next team scored 176.

very impressive, our def only allowed 161 pts all season. we might have to schedule a friendly scrimm. next season. I think We might be able to slow that off down. it would be a good game.

Would be a good battle on the other side of the ball as well. You guys had the second best rushing offense in the league this season (372.5 ypg), and we had the best rushing defense in the league (allowed only 26 ypg).

I'm guessing you guys would run for somewhere between 26 and 372.5 yards...
