Great backs can transcend their situation. Kevin Jones did it last year. LaDainian Tomlinson did it in 2002 and 2003. Corey Dillon did it several times in Cincinnati. These guys have posted YPC averages in excess of 4.5 for some of the worst offenses in the league. I think that's the mark of an elite back. Supporting cast and blocking scheme certainly have an effect on YPC, but a great backs put up great averages in bad situations. Domanick Davis didn't do that last year. That leads me to believe that he's not an elite back.YPC is a TEAM number as much as an individual number when the individual is responsioble for 62% of the rushes - it'd be a whole nother matter if there WAS one guy with the bulk of the rushing stats - such as LT's 3.9, for example.
It's not my problem if you fail to understand that.
