[QUOTE="Zombieslayer, post: 122522, member: 627"] [b]Is 1000 yards easy to do nowadays?[/b] In 2005. 16 RBs ran for over 1000 yards. There were 32 teams in 2005. That means 50% of teams had someone rushing over 1000 yards. I'm not going to go ten years back, because sports.yahoo.com/nfl doesn't have those stats handy and I don't feel like spending a half hour digging them up. So I'll go back to 2001... In 2001, there were 31 teams, and 15 rushers getting 1000+ yards. That's almost 50% once again. I remember back in the days when 1000 yards meant something. Since going to the 16 game season, 1000+ yards means better than average. It no longer means top five running backs. That said, Green didn't play the whole season, and he should get over 1000 yards. That puts him in the "better than average" category, plus with a bonus of still getting 1000+ yards without playing a full season and with a young OL. So I'd put Green at "better than better than average." If I were running the team, I'd resign Green for another year, and do it year by year. I'd split time with Morency about 50/50, keeping both running backs fresh. I'd stick to the run more, and keep some of the wear and tear off our QBs. Green is still a good running back, if you compare him to his peers (other NFL running backs). [/QUOTE]
