However, let's revisit this in three more seasons. Charles is quietly putting together one of the finest NFL careers ever. His yards per carry is so much better than anyone else's that it's almost unbelievable.

Wait until he's sharing a backfield with Geno...
A guy to keep defenses honest and safeties out of the box is all Charles needs to bust Dickerson's record wide open.
