Is one demonstrably better than the other? Or could it just be the additional 8 games that B played in??
Oh, and Running Back A has lost 2 fumbles in the last 2 seasons while Running Back B has lost 7.
Just some food for thought . . . . . .
Not sure how you got 19 TDs, Melvin Gordon has scored 20 TDs in the past two years. 9 extra TDs in 8 extra games is significant, especially when playing in an offense that struggles to score. [Reply]

You have to consider how defenses played them.
Teams encouraged KC to run on them because they were afraid of getting beat over the top by Hill.
It was the exact opposite for Denver, teams would load the box against us because they knew our QB's couldn't consistently beat them.
Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams should see their ypc shoot up this year now that they'll have the best deep ball thrower in the NFL on their team. [Reply]

I was listening to Sirius a little while ago and they were talking about Seattle and their needs but stated that Russel Wilson is the most sacked QB over the last 10 years and has like 30 more sacks than Matt Ryan.
