However, the naysayers will mention his lack of TDs and the fact that he's been injury prone and doesn't get a full work-load.
Oh and that obvious lack of a Super Bowl win is another thing that holds a lot of deserving players out.

That YPC avg isn't 'among' the best - it IS the best. By almost a half yard.
He did that over 8 years. And he caught a lot of TDs. And turned into a vicious blocker.
Not his fault he played the last 3 years under a moron coach who doesn't understand the role of the running game in football, in an era where players make more money than ever but don't feel like they should practice during the offseason or training camp, which causes more injuries on the whole.
And Barry Sanders never won a Super Bowl either.
