I get it. You're wrong again. I posted attempts, too. Using your bizarre logic, that must mean that the discussion was only about attempts. So, in other words, the discussion was only about YPC and it was only about attempts. It was "only" about 2 different things. "Only".

This is reminding me of a Russell Peters skit at this point.

Shouldn't consider if you run a lot more its harder to run, huh?
Shouldnt consider the impact of converting 54% more first downs, right?
Shouldnt remove nonRB stats from a discussion about RBs right?
I mean when the non RBs dragged the avg of the Pats down by 0.3 and the avg of the Jets down by only 0.1 thats irrelevant right, we should look at just the raw #s.
Yeah, that makes sense.
How old are you?

It's reminding me more of a Monty Python skit:

OK, lets do this. Since you are the master of making comments that imply meaning, then backing off of the implicaiton when it is wrong, I will ignore the implicaiton.

I responded to 'the Patriots didnt have the best running game in the AFCE, the Jets did?
with "What does running for the most yards mean' To which you responded it means they ran more NOTHING ELSE.
That means that NOTHING ELSE says they there is no other reason for leading the division in yards that simple # of attempts. (The implicaiton I was responding to before was that ypc is the only yardstick, which is an obvious conclusion, but I digress)
So, the fact that rushing for the most yards means NOTHING MORE than having the most attempts, then all of the other factors that I have shown for why rushing for the most yards means more than simply trying more times cannot be considered because you have concluded that rushing yards mean nothing more than amount of attempts, IN THE CONTEXT OF WHICH RUNNING GAME WAS BETTER.
Therefore, in that context, you have said ignore all other factors the SOLE reason the Patriots led the division in rushing is more attempts.
That is completely wrong, and you know that.
