re: Let PT & Bell Walk & trade for M.Lynch?

just check game logs for Thomas and compare to Brees' QB ratings....high Negative correlation.

check out our offensive production when PT runs the ball well.

Can someone tell me what these numbers mean, if anything?

We all know PT is our "main" back. There have been debates whether he's "elite" or not. But, what I want to know is does PT's production directly result in us playing great O or just average O?

The reason this thread is about PT and not all of our backs is PT is the only back that mirrors a trend with the outcomes of our games.

Games we played and won by 2 TD's or more;
9.0 YPC 14 carries
4.5 YPC 19 carries
4.8 YPC 15 carries
8.3 YPC 11 carries
5.8 YPC 11 carries

***all above 4.5 YPC

Games we played and won by less than 2 TD's or lost;
3.7 YPC 8 carries
6.5 YPC 14 carries
3.8 YPC 13 carries
3.4 YPC 11 carries
3.0 YPC 6 carries
3.6 YPC 13 carries
3.3 YPC 6 carries

***all, but one, below 3.8 YPC
