You shut your damn mouth. We don't need him fricking up the message boards there too.

Where did I say Walker wasn't good?

He was a phenomenal running back.

I was merely putting some perspective through stats to his numbers.

He rushed for three times the yards and interestingly had three times the carries.

Getting 1900+ yards and 18 TD's is a big year, but it isn't so remarkable someone tripling up on yards with triple the attempts. You would expect that from a talent like Walker.

Almost identical carries, but fewer yards, fewer TD's, lower YPA, fewer passes caught, fewer receiving yards, lower YPC, again fewer receiving TD's.

Interesting point.

He was awesome, but that may say more about the other backs in the league that year. I mean 1800 yards is impressive but not unheard of.
