[Nasty]

Give one away to take another with all of that philosophy. And I can't say I disagree with any of it but if Davenport ran the ball twice as much, YES, he would have twice the yardage.
Jude would have a better yards per carry if you take away short yardage downs just like anyone else would. But, he would not have near the yardage he has if it wasn't for running the ball so much. That's common sense.
I'm not taking one thing away from Jude because he is a GREAT back, but give Davenport that amount of carries and he might still be running.
And someone mentioned speed. Anyone that is honest that seen the two play will tell you Davenport is definitely faster. That you should never be in the discussion to say Jude is as fast or faster....

There is no way to tell when one player is faster than the other from watching them..Timing is all you can go by...Heck i ran a 4.5 my senior year but i didnt look like it cause i ran like a d*** deer..Some one that is short and quick look faster than they actually are..So yes it actually can be a discussion on the speed of jude and davenport......But neither is a 4.3-4.4 on the field like everyone says...
