Quote:Those are good top choices.

I would also consider Jamaal Charles, Doug Martin (who unfortunately got hurt), maybe Matt Forte.

But I agree that it is harder. If you look, none of the guys seemed to average 20 carries a game. That used to be a standard benchmark.

The game has slanted so much towards the passing game, it's tough to imagine.

If you ever get NFL Network, take a look at the games from the 1970s...and even the 1980s (Super Bowls).

Its weird seeing teams run pro sets.

Yup, that's why I hate when people say "1,000 in a season isn't impressive anymore". Less running backs are hitting the 1,000 mark now than a decade or two decades ago. A running back to hitting 1,000 yards in the age of Running Back By Committee and passing attacks deserves credit.
