Originally posted by ElDannMann:Young never had more than 600 yards rushing, and most were around 300-400 yards (with some 100-200 yard seasons). It's just he was consistent (as in on the roster). He played for the whole decade, whereas the next closest played three seasons.
But yeah, RB definitely wasn't a priority. Watters should've been kept and Hearst was a beast, but he was a later 90's and early 00's, as well as prone to catching the injury bug.
I hate what happened to Hearst against atl. But with the backs we had between him and Waters, we couldn't make running a priority. We actually signed Rodney Hampton from the Giants after Loville stunk, but they matched the offer.
