While I completely get your point and what not, you should also note that Davis put those #s up over a 7 year, 78game career. Holmes had a 10year, 113game career.

Terrell Davis is 3rd all time in rushing yards per game for a career with 97.5ypg, behind Barry Sanders and Jim Brown. That's it. And ahead of Eric Dickerson, Walter Payton, OJ Simpson, Earl Campbell, Emmitt Smith, AP, etc.

He played in 8 playoff games, rushing over 100yards in 7 of the 8. And that ties him with Emmitt Smith for most 100yard games in playoffs. And he had a 5.6ypc in the playoffs, the highest ypc in the playoffs in the history of the NFL.

A great RB and was even better when it mattered the most, in the playoffs.

Holmes only had 120 more attempts than Davis, and only started 5 more games over his career. Close enough for me to compare.

he has over 2200 more yards from scrimmage, and 29 more TDs.
