Wait...what? So youre gonna sit here and tell me that RB X is better than RB Y becuase of total yards? You cant be serious. If RB X and RB Y both have 5000 yards, but RB X gets 3 YPC and RB Y gets 5 YPC...which one is better?
You also have to look at the Oline, plays called...etc. AZ had the 4th best rushing D in the league, and Forsett ripped em for 123 yards.
J-Stew has done AS MUCH or MORE as Smith as a BACKUP in his career (both were rookies last year). His YPC is higher and he has more TD's...as a BACKUP.

when did I EVER say total yards makes him a better running back... I clearly stated Stewart has more YPC, which makes HIM a better RB... maybe it wasn't clear enough though... go back and re-read my post
I guess you also have to look at the O-line, plays called, etc... I'm not looking that deep into it though... I'm just saying in Cleveland is more likely to give up a lot of yards on the ground than Miami if you look at the stats
7th ranked rushing D is MUCH better than the 30th ranked rushing D
All this is true... and I'm not denying one bit that he's a better RB and has more TD's as a backup... I would take J-Stew as my team's RB ALL DAY over Kevin Smith... but this argument is not about who's a better RB... it's about who will have a better game THIS SUNDAY
looking at the circumstances there is a chance that Smith will have a better day? again... he's getting more carries than Stewart.... which means there is a possibility to earn more yards... of course Stewart will likely have more YPC than Smith... but TOTAL YARDS matters more than yards per carry in this situation
I think you're misinterpreting the point I'm trying to make... you're arguing with me that Stewart is a better RB when I'm agreeing with you 110% that he's a better back... I'm just saying it's not crazy to consider starting Kevin Smith over him this week

I've got the same decision and I'm starting Smith based on the match-ups. Cleveland has been horrible as we all know. And Stewart is inconsistent because he doesn't get many touches and sometimes the Carolina offense is horrible and he does nothing, but he occasionally goes off for a big game. Smith will always get 40-100 total yards because he gets 20-30 touches a game. A TD or 2 is a bonus.
The way I look at it, K. Smith is a more conservative play but Stewart will be the boom or bust play.
