We were 4th in TDs and 13th in total rushing yards. Take Andy's attempts away and we are top 1/2 of the league in YPA. MLJ and Sanu are elite 2-3 WRs and Eifert was an elite TE. Gio is an elite option out of the backfield.
Seems you removed Andy's rush numbers to help the YPC, but left in his 142 yards and 3 TDs for some reason.
Take away all of Andy's rush stats and we were 18th in yardage, tied for 10th in TDs and YPC would be somewhere between 16th and 19th with a glut of teams averaging 4.0 YPC.
Of course, most QB's run the ball at least 30-40 times every year, and very few of them are helping their team's YPC, so it's kinda silly to remove it for one team and judge it against the rest. But I guess that's where we're at.
Our 2015 run game was average at best. Not many will dispute that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
