[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 829459, member: 274"] We're not on the same planet yet, let alone in the same ballpark. Not expecting to convince you of much, but more data can't hurt. [LIST=1] [*]YPC in a single game is not worth a meaningful level of engagement on “best RB”. I suspect you’d agree. Gibbs averaged more YPC than Mason last year (5.2 vs. 4.3). Does that mean Gibbs was better than Mason last year? Obviously you have different thoughts there. [*]Are you prepared to make the case that Smith and Mason would have earned more yardage on the same 10 carries yesterday that Gibbs got? RBs do not run the same plays nor face the same defenses. I've watched most opponents’ pregame media. Opposing coaches and players generally speak about Gibbs. Defenses are keying on him. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. We saw it happen yesterday. It is not coach speak. [*]Gibbs caught those passes as a RB, not as a WR. One could argue that makes the case stronger for RB. [*]I posted a response to Midtown above with more data. Here's the [URL='https://gtswarm.com/threads/pittvsgt-postgame.23976/post-829395']shortcut[/URL]. Summary: Gibbs led the nation in broken tackles per rush. Mason had sufficient carries to qualify for the ranking. [/LIST] Conjecture below, I am still interested in your take on 1-4 above. [/QUOTE]
