Who gives a shit?
The list of 2,000 yard rushers is littered with guys who were never the same player again. Even an absolute freak like Barry Sanders, who did it on a mere 335 carries, saw his YPC drop by nearly 2 full yards the following year.
Ignoring the near term and long-term prosperity of the team so you can get some meaningless record is just as dumb a thing as I've heard since...well probably something else you said.
