More impressive: 2,000 rushing yards or 2,000 receiving yards?

    C.J. Spiller is averaging 6.5 with 183 carries heading into the day.
    Three hundred is an unfair cut-off for this era in football.

    Why? Three hundred is much harder to achieve.

    But 12 carries a game is not very high.

    Spiller isn't a featured back.

    What the fuck is your point?
    He isn't a starter because they happen to have two good running backs.
    It's a good problem to have in the NFL.
    And they've got plenty of problems.

    I guess this discussion remains theoretical.

    It is harder to keep a high level of performance the more you do something. It's the reason why you have minimum attempts or at bats in order to qualify for the league lead in something.

    No, the fact that Johnson didn't reach 2,000 yards proves it's the hardest thing ever. It's NEVER been done!

    Today kind of confirmed what I've been saying though -- the Lions finally spread it around and they looked as good as they have all season. The Vikings climbed on Peterson's back just like everyone knew they had to.
