you can not take away his accomplishments.....he earned those runs.....if he gets fed the ball only 10 to 15 times a game and still manages to pop off at least one long run then you shouldnt take that away because there are a lot more backs in the league that can run 20 to 25 times per game and not manage to pull off one of those big gainers

wells is goin to be a star in the league because he had the ability to learn behind a veteran line and a second year starter

he didnt have to jump into the starting lineup in game 1 and be a stud.....he had time to develop and when he made a mistake, he got to see what a proven guy would do in that situation

beanie is a legitimate threat because he can knock off those big runs

and most running backs in the league cant manage a 100 yard game without some type of big play at any given point in the game

Beanie's only broken 100 once this year, and only broken 80 once as well (not counting this playoff game).

My point is that he doesn't have great numbers. If a guy is cracking off a 20-30-40 yard run each game, it should translate into a higher total yard per game than what Beanie's getting. Meaning the rest of his runs aren't cutting it.

Let's compare to Pierre Thomas, who's broken the 80 figure three times and the 100 figure once as well.
Week 3 vs. BUF - 14 for 126 (9 ypc), take off his long of 34 and he's still at 7.1 YPC
Week 8 vs. ATL - 14 for 91 (6.5 ypc), take off his long of 30, and he's still at 4.4 ypc
The first Tampa game - take of his long of 23 and he's averaging 6.3 ypc.

This is what I don't see out of Beanie.
