Actually to be far and more scientifically honest, JC actually beat Jim Brown on the per carry average. Afterall JB rushed in a 14 game season(and put up a huge total) whereas JC rushed in a 16 game schedule. If you consider JC's 1st 14 games he rushed for 1303 yards on 203 carries good for a 6.419 YPC. JB rushed for 1863 yards on 291 carries which is good for 6.402 YPC.

Now you could argue that JB's numbers were much more impressive because he carried the ball nearly 50% more, but the game was also different back then. Honestly to be the most accurate they should have records per NFL era because it's truly hard to compare when too much time separates them.

I like Charles's attitude about this. Some players get so obsessed with breaking records that the records become meaningless because the players change the way they play the game.

When Brett Favre deliberately stopped behind the line of scrimmage a few years ago and let Michael Strahan get a cheap sack so that Strahan would break Gastineau's record, I wanted to reach into the TV and beat the hell out of Favre.

Strahan wasn't the bad guy there, Favre was. I wish Strahan had slapped Favre across the face and said "Try, bitch!".

It might have helped if our OC had called a second off-left tackle run for JC (his first being HUUUUUUGE-ly successful against the Faders) instead of being on the phone with his Florida real estate agent.
