The rushing record for a 16-game season is 2105 yards.

Would it really be that difficult to do?rhickok1109 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2023 10:13 am Do you think the NFL should list separate records for 10-, 11-, 12-, 13-, 14- 15-, 16-, and 17-game seasons? Should there also be records for those who played in only 5 or 6 games because of injury?
As for records for guys who play in a few games and get hurt, I won't dignify that with a response.

And Bart Starr made the all-time Cotton Bowl team on defense. How many seasons have been in a 16 game format and how many have been in a 17 game?rhickok1109 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2023 7:43 pm The rushing record for a 16-game season is 2105 yards. The record for a 17-game season is 1653 yards.

Right, but wouldn't cut it as your starting RBs, right? That is my point.JameisSaintston wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 7:11 amThat's a decent to somewhat above average flex guy, depending on the TD rate.sluggermatt15 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 11:41 am I particularly do not find 1,000 yard seasons to be very impressive. Especially in the 16 and now 17 game seasons. If you do the math, that's between 58 and 63 yards per game. Would you want a player like that on your fantasy football team?
Now, if we are talking 1,500 to 2,000 yard seasons, that's different, because the average is close to or greater than 100 yards per game, which for a long time, the "century" mark for a running back or wide receiver, has been the bench mark.

Speaking of one year, rushing wonders, Derrick Ward, who had a 1000 yard season for the Giants in 2008, mentioned by Gary, has been arrested in California for robbing different businesses, including gas stations.

Since it was in LA County, and he supposedly wasn't carrying a gun, Ward will probably do little or no jail time.Brian wolf wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 3:12 pm Speaking of one year, rushing wonders, Derrick Ward, who had a 1000 yard season for the Giants in 2008, mentioned by Gary, has been arrested in California for robbing different businesses, including gas stations.

As I mentioned on another post, the Seahawks from 2015 till now have had a tough time keeping running backs healthy. Kenneth Walker is their featured back now and I like him, but will struggle to get a second consecutive, 1000 yard season. Chris Carson was their last back to do it in 2018-19 but got hurt in 2020 and retired after 2021.

Speaking of LA County, with regards to Pulp Fiction ... maybe Ward robbed these places with a telly-phone? haha

The pre-Deion Falcons were so starved for names that John Settle was ATL’s representative in a Diet Coke NFL adGary Najman wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 12:48 pm The worst RB who gained 1,000 yards I've seen was John Settle. I believe he was the first free agent RB to gain 1,000 yards in 1988 with the Falcons. He ran for less than 700 yards in his other 3 seasons, with less than 4 yards per carry on average.

Knowshon Moreno had a 1,000 yard season in 2013. Two years later, he was out of football.
Ronnie Brown and Carnell "Cadillac" Williams each had 1,000 yard seasons early on in their careers. After that, it was downhill from there.
