That's a horrible average, and believe it or not, it's actually inflated due to some special teams trickery. He SUCKS as a RB. The man is on the team strictly for special teams and it needs to stay that way.
Whether or not that is a good average is not the point. I was just pointing out that it's ridiculous to say he's good for 2 yards per, tops. Which is what was said.
That being said 3.4 YPC is not a
horrible ave, especially for someone that never really gets to touch the ball. Someone like Joseph Addai that ave'd 3.5 and 3.8 YPC the last two years, getting consistent attempts, with THAT passing game being the focus of the Defenses they played, is he
horrible?
The numbers don't tell everything. In fact, for a RB that barely ever gets to touch the ball, they don't tell anything. Even if he has a 5.7 YPC average it wouldn't mean squat with the amount of attempts he has.
