First, you give no credit for toughness/longevity.
Second, mediocre suggests BELOW average. Are you saying you think that he was getting all those carries even though he was below the average NFL RB? Not below average HOFer. Just a below average RB during those years int he NFL? It's silly.
Third, those were run oriented teams. Everyone knew what was coming. They didn't have fabulous talent on offense. It was Eddie George and a cloud of dust.
How much different is Bettis?

Throw out the last two years when George was running on fumes, and he gets pretty close to BEttis' 3.9 YPC average for his career.
But yeah, again, George ain't a HOFer to me no matter how many yards he has, while Bettis is. |
I call George mediocre because he was a suckass RB.
He never impressed me.
Mediocre is how I saw him.
As I've said many times, stats don't mean jack to me, but you asked to see them.
