Why does no one talk about Jamal Lewis' 2,000 yard season?

[madness]

it's has only happened a handful of times in NFL history...everyone talks about OJ, dikkerson, Barry, Terrell and AP's legendary feats...shyt, even Chris Johnson still goes by his 2K nickname even he's fallen off since then

but it's like lewis' season came and went, like a mere footnote in the NFL record book

Cause dude was a boring runner

Fatboy Lewis tiptoed his way to 2K that year, ran for 295 against the Browns (AP broke that record his rookie year )

It was the team he played for doe

Because he's not a legendary name. All those other guys are legends except Johnson. Nobody really talks about his year like that and they certainly won't be talking about it 5 years after he is done, it's just a nickname.

 

[MikelArteta]

Because he went to jail

Because he went to jail

He didn't do a damn thing. America was hating on him for rushing for 2000 yds so they had to do whatever they could to bring him down.

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

Because he went to Tennessee.

Because he went to Tennessee.

Bet you get all excited watching Ingram, Lacy and Richardson rush for 2,000 yards and lead their teams to Superbowl victories... Wait...

didn't it take a lot more carries than usual? seems like Jamal was getting 30 carries a game but i could be wrong...

 

[BlackAchilles]

Cause he fell off immediately after

387 carries that year...24 per game

 

[protestor]

That 295 games could have been easily 350.
If not for Brian billick.

Also Jamal was close to breaking e dikkerson record. That first half against the Steelers he looked unstoppable. I blame billick again

looking at the list, do they talk about any of them like that?when the last time you heard someone mention Terrell Davis's 2000 yard season? AP's was extra ordinary because of the ACL injury before...
