A reasonable argument can be made for their logic. It's why we always roll our eyes about Emmitt Smith being listed in the top ranks of running backs, or why Richmond Webb made the pro bowl every year because Marino never got sacked. It's reasonable to say, "what did this guy make on his own versus what was handed to him".
However, part of the reason that Jamaal got so many yards is because the guy is really, really fast and runs to the right place. Some of those long runs may have looked easy, but they looked easy because Jamaal Charles was the ball carrier. Put Doug Martin in there and it's not going to be as long a run. I've read that their grading includes things like broken tackles and yards after contact, but does it include something like "so freaking fast that contact and tackles could not be initiated"?
Nonetheless, their general concept is reasonable.
