It's been 6 years since a Super Bowl champ had a 1,000 yd rusher.

You have to be able to run and pass. Indy didn't win until they could effectively run, same with NO.

Addai 1072 in 2007. Manning almost trumps the 1k running idea but oh well.

Jacobs 1089 in 2008

Parker 1464 in 2006.

I did google to whoever the hammerhead was that mentioned that and the link that came up said no runner since 2004. Corey Dillion.

I took them at their word.

So much for that theory.

god dammit pstall is so fuging dumb

normally i don't agree with you

You looked at the wrong years...those were the post Super Bowl year totals for each.

While the OP is wrong, the Colts have Manning, the Saints have Brees, and well...Eli isn't all that bad. So sure, you can have a great runner and make the big game but you better have a great QB too.

Oops.

The Panthers had more passing yards than rushing yards yesterday anyway, so even if the OP was right, this doesn't apply to the 2010 Panthers, so far.
