Wanna know why McGahee is an immensely superior runningback? Because he runs hard, he knows how to cut into holes, and he stays on the field. Which of those can Moreno do? The only myth here is that Moreno is a great blocker and ball catcher. But in a pass-heavy offense he's inactive. Makes perfect sense. You apologists are nuts.

Games missed due to injury in the first 2 years as Broncos:
Moreno: 3
Mcgahee: 7
TD per touch ratio:
Moreno: TD every 30.2 touches
Mcgahee: TD every 60.5 touches
As pass catchers only:
Moreno: a TD per 13.5 catches
McGahee: a TD per 40.4 catches
I like Willis, and he is a tough runner, but there are no numbers to back up him being "Vastly superior" when it comes to production for the broncos. All it is is bias.
