Didn't LT have a year where he caught 100 balls plus over 1000 rushing and like 28TDs? Or was the year he scored all those TDs a different season?



Yeah one year he had over 1600 yards rushing and led the AFC in receptions.

Tough to top that season

AP coming back from the knee injury and doing what he did a few years back needs an honorable mention.


Just off the top of my head the last couple decades I remember LT having a couple monster years, Faulk being a product of Martz but putting up sick numbers. Holmes being an absolute work horse. Didn't Jamal Anderson have a couple solid years back in the late 90's with the dirty birds. Curtis my man Martian had a couple years with a ton of catches and carries but don't remember his numbers.

TD would have broken Emmitt's all-time rushing record a couple years after Emmitt had broken it.....if not for his knee.

The coaches deserve a lot of credit. Mike Shanahan was great with his blocking schemes. They made some mediocre backs after Davis look pretty good.

Do those stats include postseason?


His postseason stats are probably the most nasty of any RB. Dude was impressive to watch and I saluted him everytime he got in the endzone.

The guy who had 2105 is the best ever and he also is the better RB.

Has an RB ever been MVP and SBMVP in the same season?

How many hookers did Terrell Davis kill in a season?

Craig James set the bar at 5

I think OP was talking about having a total package season...stats, trophies and accolades, championship.

Marcus Allen was Rookie of the year and Super Bowl MVP in 1983...and offensive player of the year.

And he set multiple playoff records tha t still stand. I don't know why he doesn't get more love except that All Davis buried him on the bench.
