I found this very interesting.
4 parts.
Who is the all time Pats leading RB in yards per carry with a minimum qualifier of:

1) 200 carries
2) 300 Carries
3) 600 carries
4) 755 carries

Dont look it up, but the answers are very interesting.


Bonus question.
With a minimum of 75 rushes what player has the lowest career ypc in Pats history.

jmt57

Jim Plunkett, Steve Grogan, Andy Johnson, and Curtis Martin.

My guess for lowest would be Marion Butts.

I am going to guess that Lawerence Maroney might be 1) and/or 2)

and I would say Nance or Cunningham for 3) and/or 4)


my second thought might be Faulk for one of them.

Seriusly i got this off the top of my head i didn't look it up. I almost put Don Calhoun down instead of cunningham. I shocked myself.

I didn't notice that the ansews were at the bottom of the thread starter until i submited it my answer.

So you are saying that was right? I would have thought Tony Collins might be in there rather than Sam Bam.

No correct answers yet, some partial credit.
NOTE 1-4 are RUNNING BACKS ONLY. Grogan is the leader, but 1-4 only include RBs.
The bonus includes all positions.

I thought of collins, i almost put him down.

Grogan wrong because QBs not included.
Calhoun in fact is correct as #4. I actually had Faulk because he was higher when I sorted, but they were both 4.1. Calhoun was 4.1 and change Faulk is 4.0979.
Maroney is correct as best with 300+ carries.
Still missing best with 200+ and 600+ as well as the bonus quesiton.
