LOL. I don't care about stats. Maroney got the majority of the carries at the goal line, and I don't remember him ever fighting into the end zone, he basically walked in - something any RB can do.
I'm not saying cut Maroney - but we need a "main" guy that can carry the ball 20 times a game and stop the RB committee BS.
Last year, there were only 4 running backs in the entire NFL that reached a full 20 carries per game:
Chris Johnson
Cedric Benson
Steven Jackson
Thomas Jones
That's it. There were 4 the year before:
Michael Turner
Adrian Peterson
Clinton Portis
Steven Jackson
In 2007, there were also 4:
Marshawn Lynch
Willie Parker
Clinton Portis
Edgerrin James
You have to go back to 2006 to find more than 4 running backs reaching 20 carries per game in a season. Furthermore, you have to go back to Corey Dillon, in 2004, to find a Super Bowl champion that had a running back reach 20 carries per game with them that season. The game's changed. Almost every single team in the NFL is now running some form of RBBC.
