OK, he fumble(s)d, but can we talk about Cook's season, historically, please?

But, is he... worth it? 

 

side note to Beane: going forward, pick more players who contribute to National Championships. This aint rocket surgery

No, I mean is, you can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's ass... No, wait. It's gotta be your bull

No, his third best season.  His second was 1,817. I actually reference it in my post. 

 

…and I am not quite sure what your issue is (if you have an issue at all).

 

I am also, and I don’t know why people are having a hard time with this, stating facts of numbers.

 

If Cook has 290 rushes at his 5.3 yard per carry average, from a history stand point it will be the third most yards in Bills rushing history at about 1,525.

 

Why are people having an issue with me stating a numeric fact?

 

at what point anywhere in my post did I say, “That makes Cook the best RB in Bills history with the best rushing season ever!”?

 

The third highest total in franchise history would…ya know…be a big deal.

 

I wrote nothing more. The only comparison I made was in number of carries and where Cook may end up.

 

 

 

I'm more concerned that history doesn't even qualify as context, and in OJ's case particularly so, since he became - uh - "unpopular" later in life.

 

His 1973 accomplishments should stand out in NFL history as the singular measure of RB greatness.  What he did in 14 games with a good but not great team with a good but not great QB is incomparable.  When someone else hits 2000 in 14 games we can talk.

 

I love your comment "I don’t know why people are having a hard time with this, stating facts of numbers."  I had a statistics professor in college who said "statistics don't lie but liars can statistic."  Numbers can be presented to support pretty much any argument you want to make.

 

But it's not a big issue.  On to New England.
