There's more than just "yArDs" that goes into it.Does the rushing title go to the best ypc or touchdowns? Hell no. Unless I am mistaken it goes to the RB with the most yards. Always has and always will.You want to skew the facts don't you? Touche
Here's Mixon and the 6 RBs behind him on the rushing yards list...
Joe Mixon: 1,137 yards (4.1 YPC)/5 TD in 16 games
Dalvin Cook: 1,135 yards (4.5 YPC)/13 TD in 14 games
Marlon Mack: 1,091 yards (4.4 YPC)/8 TD in 14 games
Aaron Jones: 1,084 yards (4.6 YPC)/16 TD in 16 games
Carlos Hyde: 1,070 yards (4.4 YPC)/6 TD in 16 games
Mark Ingram: 1,018 yards (5.0 YPC)/10 TD in 15 games
Saquon Barkley: 1,003 yards (4.6 YPC)/6 TD in 13 games
According to your method, Joe Mixon is a better RB than Dalvin Cook because he got 2 more rushing yards... despite averaging .4 yards less per carry, and having 8 less TDs and doing it in 2 less games.

Does YPC and TDs (and, you know, context) not matter, or do you just want to skew stats to fit your view?
