The NFL record for rushing yards in a season is 1984 Eric Dickerson with 2105 yards in 379 carries. 5.6 yards per carry.
The NFL record for receiving yards in a seson is 2012 Calvin Johnson with 1964 yards in 122 catches. 16.1 yards per catch.
So even though these represent the absolute pinnacle of accomplishment in their respective positions, and are therefore approximately equally impressive... one appears to be almost three times as impressive as the other by your logic.
Comparing yards per carry to yards per catch is just silly IMO.
