Yes i'm saying they were overrated.

I disagree.

People point out YPC as reference to a successful running attack and that is not entirely accurate.

Let's look at thr bengals most recent successful year 2015. In 2015 the RBs YPC were in the 3.0s but thr team was very successful using thr run on first down in 3rd and shorts and in the redzone. The YPC average was so low because of the amount of long gains. The running game in Cincy hasn't had huge splash plays in thr Dalton Era outside of 2014. They have been successful on thr ground but not explosive. Subtle difference.
