[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 170037, member: 195"] Okay. It seems that we're talking past each other. I will try and explain my point again. I did not conclude that Zach was a better back by comparing his stats to Synjyn's removing the one play. I posted that simply to show the sensitivity of the stat in response to your assertion that blocking and decision making couldn't account for the difference. Since you mentioned Dwyer, over his last 3 games in 2009, he carried the ball 52 times for 192 yds, 3.69 ypc. In my opinion, the difference of over 1 ypc between Dwyer and the 2014 backs had to do with blocking and decision making not just the skill of the running back. Again, my reason for posting was not to challenge your assertion that Synjyn was the better B-Back in 2014, but that the basis seemed to me too simplistic. I looked at the original assertion of being a B-Back that can carry the team in terms of being able to get the tough yards, not necessarily the best back in terms of breaking tackles' in the open field etc. So, I think that also led to us talking past each other a bit.
