Oh, and JOhn (welcome back, buddy!),
its not just Gun and Marty's history!
41 years of Chiefs history and only 1 RB has ever gotten more than 51% of the team's total rushing attempts: Okoye in '89 (under Marty, of ALL people!). The closest Hank Stram ever came to a 'featured' back was Mike Garrett in '68, who rushed 236 times (51% of the team's attempts). To put things in perspective, even Marv Levy succumbed to the spirit of RBbC: in 1978, the Chiefs rushed for over 2,900 yds (!) with no back gaining more than 483 yards. Vermiel is not immune to the spirit of RBbC and he is one injury away from employing it as well.
Cody:
I'll take Stockton and Malone 1000 times before taking Shaq and Kobe!
See ya in the HOF, baby!
