How come sometimes your posts are highlighted in blue, but not always?

This is primarily because he was taking 40-80 more carries in a 12 or 14 game season than the next guy. If you did something similar like this for WRs Don Hutson would blow everyone out of the water.

Out of the top 50 seasons 33 also led the league in carries only 9 seasons weren’t #1 or #2 in carries (all non #1 listed below)

Adrian Peterson 2nd in 2012 and 2008, Jim Brown 2nd in 1957, and Sanders 4th in 1994 and 1997, 2nd in 1991, Dickerson 3rd in 1984, Armstrong 3rd in 1974, Lewis 2nd in 2003, Towler 3rd in 1952, Emmitt 6th 1993, 2nd 1992, Simpson 3rd 1976, Allen 2nd 1985, Post 4th 1969, Tomlinson 2nd 2006, Foster 3rd 2010.

I would really like to see 3 other z-scores:
1) same as the current one but only against the top 1/3 of RBs that season instead of all of them.
2) YPC vs all other RBs
3) YPC vs. top 1/3 of RBs
