According to Grok: 

In the 2024 NFL season, only one team had two running backs who each rushed for at least 1,000 yards: the Detroit Lions, with Jahmyr Gibbs (1,412 yards) and David Montgomery (1,077 yards). 
No idea if this is true or an AI hallucination.

are you saying 1000 yards the same season on same team?  Or 1000 in general because what the lions did last year was def not common and thats not what we have here.

Good question. According to Grok again: 

Only one NFL team, the Detroit Lions, has two running backs on their current 2025 roster—Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery—who each rushed for at least 1,000 yards in the 2024 NFL season.

Lions

Texans

Bucs

Cowboys, kc and skins are within 100 yards of having 2

I quit counting there

 

so yeah its not some rarefied feat

 

I think this is people viewing the claim as two different things.  

Texans got multiple guys that have hit 1k.  Heck, the Falcons got multiple guys.

The Panthers specifically have 2 that happened to do it in the year 2024

right but other teams have multiple 1000 yard rushers from previous seasons, 1000 yards isnt really the benchmark that it once was 25ish years ago

According to the numbers you would lose that bet because it's just one.

https://www.nfl.com/stats/player-stats/category/rushing/2024/reg/all/rushingyards/desc

We haven't had two 1k backs since 2009. I would highly doubt that happens anytime soon.

It would require a significant increase in rushing attempts and efficiency. Not to mention a big improvement defensively.

That 2009 season we totaled 525 rushing attempts and also were ranked in the Top 10 in Points and Yardage defense.

We had 410 rushing attempts in 2024 in 17 games. 

Taking credit for Dowdle as a "1k back" would expand that criteria to literally any team with a current roster RB that has run for 1k yards in the NFL. That likely would be a wider pool with that criteria.

Hey, at least we are ahead of the Saints who are all in on tank for Arch.  If we don't sweep the Saints this year, it will be the ultimate humiliation...losing to a team in full tank mode.

Nah, losing to the Falcons at home during their Petrino "I quit" season is worse. Not by much though.

The current coach has not been known for operating a run heavy offense either.

That too.

I am very happy to have signed Dowdle(needed a little time to warm up to it, as I was hoping for a draft RB) but the visions of Double Trouble 2.0 needed to be tempered quite a bit. I definitely don't think we will see anything like that. For all the reasons listed.

I had people losing their minds about me calling the 2024 roster the worst in franchise history and a very clear last place in the NFL prior to Game 1 last year.

I get being optimistic but we have to also be realistic. Are there arguments for us to be above #32? Yes, although I disagree. But to say we are anything outside the bottom 2 or 3 is bananas. 

 

Well you were obviously wrong.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
