NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Michael Turner is number 1
Oh man, today we spin off into one of my favorite worlds. Today we look at stats.
Well…say it. “Stats can be deceiving.”
Yeah, but they also can be revealing.
How about this one? (and it comes from StatBeast. They have all kinds of cool widgets and stuff and wild stats on all kinds of things.)
Who are the top 4 rushing leaders in the NFL in terms of yards per game? (that equals out the bye week thing)
Here are your choices:
Michael Turner (Hey, he is already in the title.)
Clinton Portis (Proud member of my Fantasy Football Team.)
Brandon Jacobs (From the Super Bowl New York Giants.)
Julius Jones (Former Cowboy, now a Seahawk.)
You can only choose 4 (wanted to make it easy on you.)
That is right…Turner 108.6, Portis 102.8, Jacobs 95, and Jones 93.3.
LaDainian Tomlinson is 20th with 66.2.
Adrian Peterson is 5th with 90.4 and might be leading, but when my Fantasy Team needed him last week, Adrian only had 32 yards in 21 carries. Ouch! Check the story on Adrian and get a great picture of Lena Heady in the movie 300. She is the mother in the new Terminator TV show.
Now you see how Michael Turner is 20 times better than LT!
