If an RB rushes for 3.4 ypc they get a first down every 3 downs. Anything after that is bonus. What should matter way more than how quickly a player produces positive plays for an offense is the number of positive plays they produce, especially when it directly gets points on the board.
Ah yes, this is why RBs that can average 3.4 ypc are a hot commodity in all levels of football.
Jim Brown also averaged 14 TDs in a season. Trent Richardson averaged 6.33.
And if we really think 3.4 ypc is so terribly disqualifying, Toriki was as close to that number (3.8 ypc) as Nakamura was to her (4.2 ypc), while also leading Nakamura by fewer TDs than he leads Rotchburns by (20 vs 15 vs 7). The inconsistency of voters there is appalling, no wonder some people think they must be biased for certain teams.
