ANY talking head, any misinformed loudmouth with a computer and a national voice that doesnt rank Jamaal Charles as their Number One back every single year, is a total fraud, a totally biased fraud that should not be listened to nor read.
Heres the list of backs who've managed 5 yards per carry for five consecutive years... Barry Sanders, Jim Brown.
Thats IT.
Peterson, McCoy and whoever else all of these tards have put forth these last 3-4 years?... they PALE in comparison, its not even CLOSE.
Jamaal is the best running back in the National Football League, period.
McCoy will NEVER be able to gain yards after contact like JC, Peterson will NEVER outrun someone with the angle like JC consistently does.
And the best part is that our team has him for atleast his next two prime years... all of you **g "writers" out there better get it right this year.
Kansas City.
Jamaal Charles.
Scariest back in the league.

I was bored and finally clicked on this thread.
I don't pay any attention to players' thoughts on players, and this list illustrates perfectly the reason I don't.
However, I found this post very interesting, and I did some research and found that this list that you've provided of RBs that have averaged 5.0 ypc for 5 consecutive seasons, or more is wrong.
Neither Brown nor Sanders averaged 5.0 ypc for more than 3 consecutive seasons.
Brown did it for 3 consecutive seasons '63 to '65, his final 3 seasons, and averaged more than 5.0 ypc only twice in his previous 6 years.
Barry Sanders only had 2 consecutive years, '96 and '97.
He only had 3 other seasons in which he managed that average.
The only other RB that had 5 consecutive seasons of 5.0 ypc or more is Marion Motley, and he never had more than 157 carries in that stretch.
Surprisingly, Mercury Morris is next on the list, with 4 consecutive seasons,
but he only had fewer than 100 carries in 3 of those seasons.
Adrian Petterson, for reference has never put together any consecutive 5.0 or more ypc seasons, and in fact has had only 2 seasons in which he has achieved that mark.
LeSean McCoy also hasn't had consecutive seasons, and also has only 2 seasons that he has achieved that number.
Jamaal Charles has yet to have a season in which he has dipped below 5.0 ypc.
