1) Ok, why do announcers keep quoting rushing yard leaders?
Sure, if your team runs more than average, you'll have lots of rushing yards, but it seems pretty clear to me that yards/carry matters more than raw yards, right?
Or, really carry-yards above average.

tru dat. how much does it bias between rushers? I'm guessing a decent amount just b/c of quality of RB vs QB...
The only bias is that people are biased to accessing their money, truth be told
