Are you addressing me? The AA lists I was referring to are NOT "best bowl performance " lists, but presumably for the season. Do you care to list 6 running backs from the just-ended season better than McCaffrey? And if you want, feel free to disregard receiving yards, even tho running backs are usually expected to catch a ball now and then. Or, as Terry rightly says, "
Why should we look only at rushing stats to evaluate running backs? Catching the ball also is part of being a running back." If you are not addressing me, then all right then.
EDIT TO ADD. Okay, I see now the original thread regarded all bowl team. So, forget about dissing receiving yards. Running backs are expected to do three things, four if you're McCaffrey: run, catch, block, and throw a pass now and then. Go ahead, defend your guys.
Start with only rushing yards. Henry, 158 on 36 carries; McCaffrey 172 on 18 carries. Your turn.
