bo jackson only had 81 carries that year and only played in 7 games…if you take away his 91 yard td he has a 5.8 yard/carry average. In the years where he was over 100 carries his best was 5.6….thats why they do a minimum carry restriction on these stats. heck cleveland’s punter has a 68 yard/carry average but do you think he can keep that average w/ over 2oo attempts? nope

Charles gets those extra 80 carries that Foster has and he’s got an extra 512 yards.

Foster 296 carries for 1436 yards, 4.9 average.

Charles (with 296 carries with 6.4 average) 1892!

Not to mention that 6.4 yards per carry is Hall of Fame numbers!! Barry Sanders 6.1 average, O.J Simpson 6.0 average, Jim Brown 6.4 average. That’s some pretty good names to have yours mentioned with!

I guess the truth just hurts…

The top three rushers are all facing relatively mediocre run defenses, so any one of them could have a field day.

It’ll be interesting to see how much action Jamaal Charles sees, since the Chiefs already know they’ll be playing the following week.

It’s also interesting to note that while Arian Foster and CJ are already out of the playoffs, they’re facing the Jags and Colts respectively, both of whom are battling for the division crown…..so both players will be getting their opponent’s best shot.

Charles by far was the RB of the year! Haley never game him the ball nearly enough and he’s still at the top!

I started out 1-6, and won 9 in a row to win the league.

I also had DMC. I’ll never have running backs like that on the same team again.

when did yards per carry become the end all be all stat for a RB? (when a Texan leads the league in every other stat LMAO)

Foster is 1st in the league in
YARDS, TD’s, yards per game, 1st downs…

Foster has 14 rushing tds to Jamaal’s 4! 16/7total

Foster has 10 runs over 20, JC has 9
They both have 2 40+ runs

the article mentions Jamaal’s 455 receiving yards but doesn’t mention Foster has 64 catches for 594…

Bottom Line: Foster 96pts – Charles 42pts

Foster should be the AFC starter in the Pro Bowl, and is having a more impressive season than any other back in the league. If you can look at the facts and still think “As awesome as Foster has been, Charles has turned in the more impressive season.”

You’re just not being honest…

Anyway, the RB rotation in KC is working really well. Weis has been careful not to Chris Johnson Jamaal Charles, and it should pay off in the playoffs, when Charles will have fresh legs.
