BlackLabelJetsFan Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Curtis has 615 yards in 10 games on the season. That's obviously a 61.5 YPG average. If he keeps performing at that level, he'll finish with 984 yards. He's got to kick it up to 65 yards per game for the rest of the season if he hopes to break 1000. That 4 carries for 7 yards performance on Sunday didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BwanaZulia Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I don't think that Miami, Pats and Bills are going to let him run wild (well, maybe the Bills). While I think Curtis is great and would love him to get the yards this season and go into the HoF as a Jet, it is pretty clear he has lost a step and should not be the starter next year.

To the educated fan, its not the benchmark. To the mass media and the folks who hype this kind of crap, its unfortunately still the benchmark, and in terms of streaks, it still gets mention, like it or not. Last year 18 running backs broke 1000 yards. Another couple came close. To me, 1200 is more of a benchmark. Usually thats about top 10 in the league. If you want to be really picky, 1400 would probably be about top 5 in the league. As it pertains to Curtis, 1000 yards in a season isn't particularly impressive. But doing it every year for a decade is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a 1,000 yards in a season isn't much of a mark for one season, but how about 2 or 3 season? How about 5 or 7? The point is, staying healthy, strong and being able to run hard for 10 years is certainly an achievement. Add to that his performance last season. Obviously, between his age, his health, our offensive line, our always playing from behind, getting 1,000 yards this season is going to be tough.

BwanaZulia Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I hope he gets it. Honestly there is NOTHING else to root for. Here is my short list: - Seeing Jay come back. Can he win a game? - Seeing Hendu's Defense show up and play 90 minutes. - A win for X-mas. - Spoiling someone else's season. - Not having to send in my playoff ticket money. - Miller has GOT to break one!

If Jim Brown played a 16 game schedule and more than 9 seasons, what kind of #'s he could of had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BZ yes, it's an achievement to stay healthy for that long. but if you run for 62.5 yds/game you are really not doing much to help your team win or are even in the upper echelon of rb's league wide. BZ - what would you rather have 4 1,500 yd seasons or 10 1,000 yd seasons in a row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLabelJetsFan Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 BZ - what would you rather have 4 1,500 yd seasons or 10 1,000 yd seasons in a row? Both. I'd rather have my starting RB get 10 1,000 yard seasons and my backup RB chip in another 500 for 4 years before leaving in free agency. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cant Hackett Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I hope he gets it. Honestly there is NOTHING else to root for. I rather see Houston in there to see if he can carry the load. We should be playing for next year. Curtis is about done. Personel stats are crap. Winning is the only thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the team, I rather our RB get 1,500 a year for a few years and move on to the next guy. That being said, last year was awesome and so is Curtis. I hope he collects his 1,000 this year, goes down in the history, Jets and HoF books and he starts as our #2 next year. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozer76 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Due to the fact that I sincerely fear that if Curtis gets 1000 yards this year Herm will definately be riding him again next year, part of me hopes he falls short this year. On the other hand Martin is the only player on the Jets that I have really always been a huge fan of, so another part hopes he gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Here is my short list: - Seeing Jay come back. Can he win a game? why? hurt our draft pick and endanger him for next year - Seeing Hendu's Defense show up and play 90 minutes. isnt the game 60 minutes? - A win for X-mas. reggie bush is a gift that will keep on giving - Spoiling someone else's season. at the expense of losing reggie bush? - Not having to send in my playoff ticket money. Ok I give u that one - Miller has GOT to break one! Hope not, he needs to be on pine, he has the highest fumble/per kickoff % in NFL history BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping for the rare 3rd scenario...that he gets it and both he and the coaching staff decide he's accomplished everything they've been grinding out the past few years, and he can settle into a complimentary role as the #2 in 2006. I know its a long shot, but while we're hoping and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets28 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 .. Here is my short list: - Seeing Jay come back. Can he win a game? - Seeing Hendu's Defense show up and play 90 minutes. - A win for X-mas. - Spoiling someone else's season. - Not having to send in my playoff ticket money. - Miller has GOT to break one! BZ ...I agree. There's not much more to look forward to. I wish my Curty was having a more significant impact on the season, but it isn't that way. 1000 yards despite it all...poor blocking, bad knee, and losing season...ok. But like it's been stated, that really isnt the standard anymore. 1200 and better is where its at. But it would be nice to see for me..a Curtis fan. The Jay Fiedler one is something I'd like to see to BZ and definately a spoiler situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
