Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 265350, member: 837"] So, wait, what's your point? I mean this earnestly, what are you guys arguing about? The offense was bad. The passing game was boring, not terribly productive and certainly not keeping any offensive coordinators up at night. The running game as well was bad and while Bailey had a nice individual offensive season (particularly if you factor in little to no passing game and a conference full of teams with pretty solid defenses), he certainly wasn't a world beater. And why are you waiting on a list of teams with 2 1,000-yard backs? I think his point was that a 1,000-yard back doesn't tell you much about a team's ground game b/c that feat in and of itself is not worth as much in a 12-game season (as opposed to when it used to be more like 100 ypg). The bar may be set at 1,000, but it is more likely 1150 or 1200 when you start to say that an individual back is a game-changer. [/QUOTE]
