Their QBs weren't super talented, but those teams had very good skill players and defenses still had to respect the threat of Cooper or Ridley going downfield and OJ Howard going up the seam.




So we are back to the only way a RB can qualify as the best is if they play on a team that is solely dedicated to the run/their success.

If a good passing game is such a big deal, why aren't the RBs at the top mostly from pass heavy teams?

You guys are taking something that is a benefit in short amounts of carries and you are applying it to large amounts of carries.

Derrick Henry was an absolute monster. The difference is that with Herschel, everyone knew what was coming and no one could stop it. Georgia averaged 132 passing yards per game in 1980. Herschel was damn near the entire offense.
