JP-era Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 McGahee has 610 yards in 5 starts, thats 122 per game. The league leading rusher, Shaun Alexander has 1055 in 9 starts, that 117 per game! Umm.....How much are we gonna love watching the thingy at the bottom of the screen during pregame scroll McGahee's name as a league leader in rushing all next year!!!! BTW, I bet he goes over 1000 yards this year!

JP-era Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 xjumpx said: look at his YPC compared to alexanders 127912[/snapback] OK, 5.4 versus 3.8. Lets remember though that SHauns been starting for a long time, McGahee will only get better. McGahee still doesnt have his full speed back yet either. If we FINALLY pay top dollar for the stud o-lineman this offseason. He will again only get better. Add in a QB who can scramble and demands defenses respect that and not constantly blitz, dman, he could be VERY VERY big!!!!
Ball'n Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 3.6 is his ypc. alexanders is 5.4. i imagine the yac would be much closer than this though considering WM gets hit every play 2 yards in the backfield.

WM actually has fumbled more, but has not lost any. I understand that the Bills are winning with him in there, but his stats are not that much better than TH.
Rico Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 xjumpx said: look at his YPC compared to alexanders 127912[/snapback] I'd take Willis over Alexander any day, regardless of YPC.Seahawks have studs like W. Jones + Hutchenson on their OL, we've got JMac getting journeymen to start stepping up.
MDH Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 You're padding the stats here. You're saying all those yards came in his 5 starts and then dividing the total number of yards by those 5 starts...all those yards did not come in those games. In McGahee's 5 starts he's carried the ball 127 times for 482 yards (3.8ypc). Willis is averaging 96.4 yards per start, not the 122 you're giving him. Breakdown by game: 20 – 100 St. L 14 – 37 NE 37 – 132 NYJ 30 - 102 Ariz 26 – 111 Mia
WILLIS Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 stats mean stevestojan...it's all about the W and this team has 4 of them when Will is the starter.
