And, I think it's more than just him being really good. Yes, there were other backs that came in and got 1,000 yards in that system, but they weren't as dynamic and overall productive as TD.

The article that you posted, bro. The year after Elway retired Davis averaged barely over 3 YPC. He only lasted a couple games but I'd say there was a good chance he was headed for a down year after 400+ carries from the previous season.
Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Reuben Droughns, Tatum Bell. Those guys are akin to a bag of smashed assholes and yet they were all 1,000 yard backs.
