one thing that i think really skews the YPC is the home runs. if a guy gets 1 or 2 70 or 80 yard td's in a season that really boosts his ypc.
a guy like eddie can just pound away and never break the long one, but his 250 other carries or so will be just as good as the other guys, or better
guy A carries the ball 200 times and gets 1000 yards. 5.0 yards per carry
the home run hitter also carries the ball 200 times, but had the two runs of 70 and 80. 1150 yards. 5.7 yards per carry
huge difference because of 2 carries
