Chiefs What if Charles really did get more carries? Wicket stat.

He could break off 2K in our system, that's what.

• Jamaal Charles (notes)

The Kansas City Chiefs running back had 14 touches for 153 total yards and a touchdown, and helped ease the load for the returning Matt Cassel (notes). His 80-yard run late in the fourth quarter – on the Chiefs’ first snap after the Rams pulled within 20-13 – locked the game up. Here’s a wicked stat: Charles has 1,961 rushing yards in his last 17 games. And he did that on only 297 carries. That’s a staggering average of 6.6 yards per carry.

So if he broke Larry Johnson's record with 417 carries, he could go for 2,692 yards. That'd be cool.

That would be sweet!

Not to be a douche, but what if D. Bowe had not dropped so many passes this season ?

I have to wonder which plays they consider "drops" and which ones they give him a free pass on?

Because he's dropped more than 5 passes this year. It would be closer to about 10-12.

I'm guessing we'd see a lot more leg cramps.

The Chiefs are giving Jamaal Charles exactly the right amount of carries.

He is an awesome talent. I think he's probably the best runner in the game right now. But do any of you REALLY think that he's the best running back in the history of the NFL?

Really?

He has such a great YPC because of the way the Chiefs use him. Picking up Thomas Jones in the offseason was a great move by Pioli.

Must have had too many drops and it disqualified him from that list. That is how it works right?

I read the list. I'm wondering how they judge a dropped pass ? His name should be on that list.

I have to question the validity of this list. This list claims that Stevie Johnson has only dropped 8 passes all year? He dropped 5 passes in the one game that he dropped the game winner in the endzone in overtime.

Who's to determine what's a "drop" and what isn't?? There is no solid definition of the term ergo stats like this are generally useless if you are to take them so literally.

It's like when Bey was said to be on the highest portion of the "targets" list. Who's to tell me what a "target" is?? If Campbell is taking his time w/ his reads, maybe sits down for a cup of coffee if he has time, then sees nothing b/c he's as blind as a bat when throwing downfield, then throws one 10 feet over the head of Bey who was the closest WR to the ball, does that count as a "target" for Bey?

Bowe has dropped quite a few passes this season and I haven't even watch 1/2 of your games.
