Through four games of the 2014 season, Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray has gained 534 yards on the ground. That improbably puts Murray, who barely cracked anyone’s top 10 in preseason fantasy football rankings, on a pace for 2,136 rushing yards, a total which would break Eric Dickerson’s 30-year-old american football shirts​ record.

It’s still tremendously early, of course. We’re not even to October. Still, Murray and the Cowboys are one-fourth of the way through their season. And if the Dallas fans who’ve endured three straight 8-8 seasons and a 2-7 playoff record in the past 18 years can’t get a little irrational about Murray and the team’s 3-1 start, then what’s the point of fandom?

Among the seven members of the 2,000-yard club, Murray’s yardage through Week 4 would rank third overall. That’s because many of the best rushing seasons in history got off to slow starts. (Tree of the top four rushers weren’t even on a 100-yard per-game pace after four games.) That either means Murray is well ahead of the curve or in danger of peaking too quickly.

Here are the members of the 2,000 club, listed with their totals through Week 4 and their final stats. Murray has 534 yards and five touchdowns.
