Making us proud!

[Rock Strongo]

let me explain brick tamland...

1,000 yards used to be the watermark for a good season

that ended in like 1995. why? its 62 yards a game. 62.

sixty
two

62 yards a game at a position is no longer considered a watermark for excellence. it hasnt been for 20 years. 1500 yards became the new "standard" (or watermark) for a good/great year.

im asking seriously...do you know this or are you just being stupid on purpose?

 

[Rock Strongo]

Yeah. do that thing where you divert from being owned.

has anyone ever rushed for 1500 yards in a game?

why make such a wild statement?

Making us proud.

 

[Rock Strongo]

one last nail for you...

1500+ yards has been done 82 times

82

in league history

 

[Tgann69]

Losing an arguement? Start calling names. That usually helps

Rock Strongo shoots from the hip and when addressed goes into his name calling. I was expecting NE fans to jump in to save him but ....nope.

top 7 for 2014 standards is not "Very average" anyone that thinks that is an.... well nobody but you thinks that so..nevermind.

Doesn't really matter because the RB position has been downgraded in importance over the years.

explain away how top 7 in 2014 yds could be stated as "very average"? your words not mine.

tick tock...

...let him sink NEPats.

...let him sink NEPats.

Except he's not. A 1000 yard rusher is no big deal in modern football, the new standard of greatness at the RB position is in fact 1500 yard season.

well, considering most smart people know its not a rushing league anymore...you are smart, right?

hey, i didnt make this shit up...

A 1,000-yard season just doesn't cut it anymore | News OK

Can we stop pretending that a 1,000 yard season is a big deal for an NFL runningback still? | IGN Boards

this is the most hilarious part:

Year after year, NFL running backs surge far past the 1,000-yard mark that has been the measuring stick for success. Many of those runners, though, acknowledge that shooting for 1,000 yards these days is aiming for mediocrity.


"That was the standard when it was a 12-game season, the Giants' Tiki Barber says. "That was exceptional, 1,000 yards in 12 games. Now, how many guys in the league have 1,000? It's still something to be proud of, but I think the guys who have done it, they look to get significantly past it, 1,400 yards, 1,600 yards. I'm of that same mentality.


"tick tock motherfucker'

Your attempt is admirable but at any position if you are ranked top 7 at it in production you are damn good.

another posting triple double for rock.

I never sad he was bad, just not all that and a bag a chips. Assuming your stat is correct, 7th doesn't really mean that much when talking about a position that has been diminished in importance by the rules.

does anyone here who knows football want to have a chat?

Well my work here is done. u have the last word...(shuts door walks out)

Rock, are you forgetting Rice's production as a receiver?

He's had 2000 all purpose yard seasons before. Rice wasn't the best runner, but he was a complete RB.

I don't believe anyone is suggesting he isn't a good player, only that he isn't an elite player.
