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

1. Speed. Foster doesn't have the breakaway speed Charles does.

2. Supporting cast. If Charles had a QB like Schaub and a WR like Johnson making safeties back off, he would be a nightmare. Cassel and Bowe are good but not in that league yet. No one is playing eight in the box consistently against the Texans...against the Chiefs, it's standard operating procedure.

I'm not gonna say either Cassel or Bowe are Shaub and Johnson but those two are no slouches.

My reason for why Foster is better. He carries the team, Charles splits it.

Houston is 5th in passing offense.

The Chiefs are 30th.

Who carries their team, again?

Next RB in relation to carries:

Derrick Ward - 45

Thomas Jones - 212

So... who does carry the team??

Jamaal Charles - 34.8 percent of the Chiefs' offense.

Arian Foster - 35.8 percent of the Texans' offense.

Pretty close.

What happens when you remove Charles from the Chiefs' offense? It goes to shit.

What happens to the Texans without Foster? They'd be OK. Just like they were before he was starting.

Jamaal gets 26% of the Chiefs plays.
Foster gets 37% of the Houston plays.

Houston leans on Foster more than KC relies on Charles, but I believe that Charles is more important to his team. Houston could plug in some other guy & run the same offense. KC cannot replace Charles cuz his skill set is unique. There is only one.
