thomas cant be silver IMO-- i remember this argument on ESPN earlier this spring

for me it's 1st & foremost the 4 consec seasons leading the entire NFL in yds from scrimmage. no one else close.

the # of receptions in a K-gun not designed to feature him as a pass catcher is staggering as well. i mean the whole basis of that no huddle offense was two downs per series of HB off tackle. this wasnt a west coast like craig had under walsh. also, thomas didnt have the benefit of missing a full season of action in the prime of his career to preserve tread on the tires a la Marcus Allen. granted Allen was more of a goalline back (& more prolific scorer), but he missed 35 games in his career, including playing 2 half seasons as his raider days were fizzling.

im only 24 yo... older fans have to remember thomas' fabulous consistency better than i do.
