As for Freebagel's argument that Fred Taylor set career highs in ypc in Jax, so their OLine must have been a great run-blocking unit... here are Taylor's year-by-year ypcs for every year where he played 10 or more games: 4.6, 4.6, 4.8, 4.6, 4.6, 4.7, 4.1, 5.0. Yeah, that 5.0 value was clearly way out of line with his career averages, Jax's offensive line must have been a dramatic improvement over where it was in the past.

Taylor did set a career high in ypc, but he was essentially just as effective as he always was. And besides, even if we do think that Jax's offensive line was worth .4 more yards per carry last year than they have been in the past, Jones-Drew averaged FIVE POINT SEVEN yards per carry. That is more than two full yards more per carry than Reggie Bush. Bush could have played on the Cardinals and Jones-Drew on the mid-90s Cowboys and the difference in lines still wouldn't explain away more than two full yards per carry.
