Everyone has a point on CMart, but as always everyone takes it to far. He wasn't flashy, or even athletically gifted, but he was smart, determined, and consistent. 4 ypc averages are not all the same. If you get 2 yards 4 times and then 12 yards you average 4 ypc, but you only got one first down in 3 series. If you get 4 yards 5 times in a row, you probably just had a TD drive. Curtis was consistent, but never broke a big run to pad his stats. So yes he was a compiler, but he moved the chains. That said, it never did sit right with me that he didn't like football, and the year he played with 2 high ankle sprains seemed pretty selfish to me that he didn't sit himself down. That also contributed to his low career average however.
