Because when you're doing a statistical breakdown to look at what a true average is, you often throw out statistical anomalies, like 78 yd runs. If you want to throw out his worst run, we'll throw out a -5 and Portis will still average about 3.5 YPA.
GTripp is much better at explaining the theories behind stats than I am, I'm sure he'll chime in.
