The Chiefs haven't had a back with 150+ carries over 4.0 yards per attempt in the past 3 years besides Jamaal Charles. Jackie Battle came the closest with 4.0 YPA on 149 carries in 2011. Dexter McCluster had a good 4.5 YPA average in 2011, but it was on only 114 carries. Here are the others:
2012 Peyton Hillis 3.6 YPA on 309 carries
2012 Shaun Draughn 3.9 YPA on 233 carries
2011 Thomas Jones 3.1 YPA on 153 carries
2010 Thomas Jones 3.7 YPA on 245 carries
That's dismal. Add to that the struggles the Chiefs have had converting short yardage and goal line situations and you realize you've got OL problems. A better QB will help, but it's not a panacea.
