[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 150821, member: 77"] The recent article on Laskey and Days, two obvious fan favorites yet neither a superstar, got me thinking of the old debate on the need for a "homerun threat" at Bback. Looking at the stats below, our offensive rushing production surpassed the year in which we had what many consider the [I]ideal[/I] back for the marquee position. I know an argument can be made for the impact of a much better OL in '14, but that is mitigated, imo, by the lack of defensive familiarity with the offense in '09. I think the impact of JT running the show cannot be overstated and that's even as compared to a pretty darn good qb in '09 in Josh Nesbitt. That said, I think the stats below, which are total rushing yards by position, show that production and success in our offense can come in different forms. An '08 JD in last year's offense would have been devastating. Still, it's interesting and telling to see such a great degree of success in spite of the lack of a marquee guy at the the marquee runningback position.
