Comments on: How Bad Was Ray Rice in 2013? http://www.footballperspective.com/how-bad-was-ray-rice-in-2013/ NFL History and Stats Tue, 18 Mar 2014 20:16:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: James http://www.footballperspective.com/how-bad-was-ray-rice-in-2013/#comment-88813 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 20:16:55 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=18271#comment-88813 In reply to Richie.

Using the historical archive link at the top of the page (I find it much easier/more reliable than the search function) I found this: http://www.footballperspective.com/career-rushing-yards-over-50-yards-in-each-game/

It’s not quite the same thing, but it’s close, and it also only includes data from 1960 to 2011. Eddie George had the 24th most career rushing yards at 4,613 when you exclude the first 50 in each game (RYov50), making up 41% of his total (38th highest), with the 22nd highest percentage of games with over 50 rushing yards at 70%. So that still doesn’t account for number of carries in any way, but not bad.

For some perspective, throwing out his final season with Dallas (I don’t remember this?!), he averaged 566 RYov50 per season. In his All Pro 2000 season he had 790 RYov50. In the following 2001 season he had only 252 RYov50.

I thought you did, but the search function here is crashing, and google isn’t helping.

With all those bottom-5 appearances, it makes me wonder how Eddie George’s career ranks.
