You have to look at the whole package. I never missed a game, I went to practice every day. The Cleveland Browns were contenders, I played for the championship three times in nine years and I never stayed over my time limit. I was 29 years old when I retired. I don't think about the records I could have held if I continued to play football.
Records are irrelevant.
I know the product has to be hyped in order to create excitement for people. But certain things that count to championship teams do not result in records. Sometimes 1 yard at the right time makes the difference between winning and losing. But they don't have any records for 1-yard carries. In order to be a successful running back, you must have quickness and intelligence.
