Ahh. Based on what numbers we see, we can figure out where to go from there.

I thought you were going to do all 250 and then break them into groups.

That wouldn't be quick nor dirty.

Hopefully this will be deemed fair and persuasive.  And hopefully it shows what I think it will, lol.
It will be deemed fair

Averages:
High (Group 1):  462 carries
Med (Group 2):  461 carries
Low (Group 3):  559 carries

So as we move away from the end of the bell curve, towards the fat middle, RBs with more carries tend to have lower YPC averages.  

Also, if I had included the top 20 instead of 21-40, Group 1's average number of carries would be lower, just fyi.

Low (Group C):  5.030 ypc
This shows me that yes, the most talented RBs get the most carries, but as move away from the end of the bell curve, it's level.  I'm not sure what to do with this.
In terms of the lists themselves, one requires a guy to play a lot (carries) and in the other, you could be a backup/2nd fiddle (YPC), although most were starters for at least one season.

Look at the numbers. 

For the high ypc, you have anywhere between 316 carries and 668. 
For the middle ypc, you have anywhere between 323 and 659
For the low ypc, you have anywhere between 337 and 1220, although Dayne is a bit of an outlier, as the next highest was 803

For the high attempts, you have anywhere between 4.4 and 6.2 ypc
For the middle attempts, you have anywhere between 4.5 and 6.3 ypc
For the low attempts, you have anywhere between 3.9 and 6.5 ypc

Do you really see much rhyme or reason to these numbers?

Yeah, once I did it, it's all just kind of a mess.

I need parameters.....and while I was doing it, I was thinking a per-season study would be more valid than a career one.....

Well, one of the biggest issues is that your career leader in ypc list might include players who only started for 2 years and then went to the NFL... So given a 4 year career they might amass 750 carries but in two years they only got 320. 
So the ideal thing would be to base it attempts/game... But where are you going to find those numbers lol?

yes, number of carries is not a factor
