Running Back Rankings



Recently espn.com has put out a list of position rankings compiling the average position from its divisional bloggers to finalize a top 10 list of players at each position. NFL Network has also started the rankings of the top 100 current NFL players "as voted by the players." These are more so the product of boredom in the heat of an NFL lockout. (See espn.com Helmet Rankings as example) But, I thought it entertaining and fun to join in the mayhem so here is a self-compiled Running Back's top 10 list.

Star-divide

1) Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans - Albeit some mediocre yards per carry numbers, and some pretty bad games statistically, it's tough when your team has no passing game to keep the ground game honest. He's a home run threat every time he touches the ball, enough said.

2) Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs - I know, AP was not forgotten, but here's a brief case for Charles at #2. Probably the most productive Running Back in the NFL per touches. Doesn't fumble, electric speed, moves the chains.

3) Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings - Maybe the most physically gifted player in all of football. Huge, but fast and great in the open field. Can run over people, and got away from the fumbler stereotype, but tends to be bottled up on first contact a little more than you'd like.

4) LaSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles - Great vision, lateral movement, speed, and flat out makes people miss. It's sad he doesn't receive the recognition he deserves.

5) Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams - He finally gets a somewhat balanced offense and runs for over 1,200 yards. A lot is to be said about his lack of statistics, but he hasn't had blocking or a passing game. One of the purest power runners in football.

6) Arian Foster, Houston Texans - Flat out unbelievable numbers along with unreal combination of power and speed. Was easily a top 4 running back last year, but let's get another one under the belt to put the proof in the pudding.

7) Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars - The most overrated running back in football besides Michael Turner, in my opinion. However he's stout, durable, solid speed, and is a great fit for a run first offense. I just wouldn't consider him elite, and would not want to build a team around him. (see Jacksonville Jaguars)

8) Darren McFadden, Oakland Raiders - Finally broke out after years of under-achievement in the Black Hole that is Oakland. Great speed and decent size. Can hit the hole with burst and explosion, great in the open field. I see more solid years in front of him.

9) Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens - Another stout and durable RB with solid speed. Can catch out of the backfield, reliable both outside and inside, consistent.

10) LeGarrette Blount, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Power back in a league where they are hard to come by. 1,000 yard runner in only 7 starts and 13 games played.

Near Misses: Rashard Mendenhall, Frank Gore

Overrated Off List: Michael Turner, Peyton Hillis, Beanie Wells, Marion Barber

Underrated Off List: Danny Woodhead, Ryan Torain, Chris Ivory

1. Adrian Peterson
2. Chris Johnson

4. Arian Foster
5. Maurice Jones-Drew
6. Frank Gore
7. Ray Rice
8. LeSean McCoy
9. Peyton Hillis
10. Steven Jackson

that’s tough to argue with. I think Steven Jackson is a top 5 back for sure though.

by Lip-Out on May 22, 2011 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

On second thought, you’re right. One down year doesn’t mean he falls that might. I’m still not putting him top 5 though. New 6-10:

6. Steven Jackson
7. Frank Gore
8. Ray Rice
9. LeSean McCoy
10. Peyton Hillis

The seperation between 7-9 is very, very minimal.

The one concern I do have though with LeSean McCoy is how much of his improvement has to do with defenses focusing on Jackson/Maclin and Vick.

RBs have such a short shelf life, you cant require them to build a resume like other positions, thats why Frank Gore and Steven Jackson wont be top 5/10 next year. I never throw people into the top right away either…… except for RB.

my point is that i’m being told that you cant be put on there right away, even after a great season, and i disagree because in TD’s case he would have hardly been at the top because he was so good right off the bat.

by Mc5 on May 24, 2011 12:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

you can be put in the top 10 after a ONE great season.

but the Top 5 is reserved for consistent performers. it’s not fair to take someone out of it if they had one down year (where they still eclipse 1100 rushhing yards)

hillis is not above ray rice....

Rice is fuckin amazing. Do you guys remember what he did to the patriots in the playoffs 2 years ago? He was hurt this year and battling injurys, if he wasnt he would easily be a top 5. People are showing a little homerism for McCoy aswell, i would put him between 10-15. Deangelo Williams doesnt make this list? Mendenhall is questionable aswell. OWell thats my 2 cents maybe I’ll make a ranking of my own.

This is your argument for Arian Foster

“Flat out unbelievable numbers along with unreal combination of power and speed. Was easily a top 4 running back last year, but let’s get another one under the belt to put the proof in the pudding.”

Couldn’t the same thing be said about Lesean McCoy?

LaSean basically had 1,000 yards rushing receiving yards combined his rookie year, and capped that with a great Soph year.

I see your point, but I just love the smaller, elusive, catch out of the back-field style LaSean has.

Nothing wrong with that reasoning.

Where would you rate Ahmad Bradshaw on this list?

Proud resident of BBV, BGN, MTD

by BigBlueIntervention on May 22, 2011 7:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

Solid top 15 back for sure.

Top ten if he didn’t lose 6 fumbles last year.

by Lip-Out on May 22, 2011 7:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

fair enough

My personal top 10:

1) Chris Johnson
2) Adrian Peterson
3) Jamaal Charles
4) Ray Rice
5) Arian Foster
6) Maurice Jones-Drew
7) Lesean McCoy
8) Steven Jackson
9) Ahmad Bradshaw
10) Rashad Mendenhall

The fumbles are a problem, yes, but Bradshaw’s stats more than make up for it. Jackson is on the decline. He barely, by the skin of his teeth, makes it by Bradshaw.

No sarcasm. There is a very easy argument for LeSean McCoy to not be top 10 but you guys are ranking him top 10 without any arguing or haggling. Just odd after the arguments between the two groups over receivers and quarterbacks.

Respect where respect is due.

In terms of talent, I think Bradshaw and McCoy are evenly ranked:

Coincidentally, Bradshaw’s 1st year with significant carries came at the same time as McCoy’s rookie year.

Their stats:

2009

Bradshaw 778 yds, 4.8 YPA, 7 TDs, 21 catches, 207 yards Yards from Scrimmage: 985

McCoy 637 yds, 4.1 YPA, 4 TDs, 40 catches, 308 yards Yards from Scrimmage: 945

2010

Bradshaw 1235 yds, 4.5 YPA, 8 TDs, 47 catches, 314 yards Yards from Scrimmage: 1549

McCoy 1080 yds, 5.2 YPA, 7 TDs, 79 catches 592 yards, 2 TDs Yards from Scrimmage 1672

I fully consider Bradshaw a top 10 back in the NFL. He’s a dual threat on the air and on the ground. It only makes sense, than that McCoy be ranked higher than him. McCoy is more balanced of the two (or at least used in a more balanced way). Both have high yards per carry averages. McCoy gets it done more through the air, while Bradshaw gets most of his work in through the ground.

Still, though, 1500 yards from scrimmage is “very good territory” and only a few running backs can approach that number.

Bradshaw still has a leg up on McCoy in terms of running the ball consistently

Bradshaw had 13 carries of 20+ yards. McCoy had 7. But McCoy beats bradshaw in 40+ yarders.

McCoy is a speedy, elusive shifty back, and Bradshaw, while also speedy, plays alot more north-south and it shows in their numbers.

Creator of the NFC East Eternal Threads

Proud resident of BBV, BGN, MTD

by BigBlueIntervention on May 22, 2011 8:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't think 20+ and 40+ yard runs are a measure of consistency...

A “consistent” back gets you 4-5 yards each time he carries the ball. Who would you rather give the ball to on a 3rd and 3 up by 3 with 1:30 left and know they’re going to get the 1st down? That’s what I would consider “consistent” – someone you know is pretty much always going to get what you need.

And don’t discount McCoy’s north-south play. While he has moves and is really shifty, he’s no Chris Johnson where he’s making 10 million moves to make a big play. McCoy gets the ball, patiently waits for the hole to open and makes his move. You don’t see him dancing around in the backfield – he makes his moves when he’s 4-5 yards downfield and needs to get around the LB/S.

by TommykUD on May 22, 2011 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not saying that McCoy is bad at it

just saying that he’s slightly more inconsistent than Bradshaw (and by slightly, I mean its splitting hairs). Both are still very good. And I acknowledge that McCoy has more big play ability than Ahmad does.

Yes, McCoy had a 5.2 YPC average, but its not like Ahmad was significantly behind at 4.5. Year before that, it was 4.8 for Ahmad, and 4.1 for Shady.

Maybe I should’ve framed it as Ahmad is less elusive than McCoy, and a larger majority of his playing style is that bowling ball type north-south running.

Proud resident of BBV, BGN, MTD

by BigBlueIntervention on May 22, 2011 8:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

True

I guess I would be saying that Bradshaw is the more consistent, where McCoy is the bigger home-run threat.

I think Bradshaw’s style is more conducive to the Giants, who depend on the run a lot more, and Shady’s style is more conducive to the Eagles, who use the run as a way to get away from the pass and “surprise” the other team.

http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/24037/lesean-mccoy-is-a-power-back

“LeSean McCoy, literally, ran away with this award thanks to some hard-nosed running — an aspect of his game that often is overlooked. Being surrounded by weapons like Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin overshadowed the fact that McCoy was the league’s best back in 2010 when there were more defenders in the box than available blockers (creating a loaded box).

“Fourteen running backs had at least 30 attempts against a loaded box this season. McCoy finished in the top four in rushing yards (207), touchdowns (three) and attempts per first down (2.8), despite having the fewest carries of those 14 backs (36).

“Also, McCoy was more than up to the task of running out the clock. One-third of his rushes against a loaded box came in the fourth quarter with the Eagles leading. McCoy rushed 12 times for 85 yards and three first downs in those situations. His 7.1 yards per rush was tops among backs with at least 10 carries.”

Also when running down the middle of the defense LeSean McCoy had 86 carries and 436 yards (5.1 average). Ahmad Bradshaw had 51 carries over the middle for 186 yards (3.1 average).

And just for good measure… Link.

while Bradshaw is an all-around hitter.
Bradshaw is more powerful than McCoy and well bradshaw runs with the best heart in the game. so its really a flip. i put mccoy ahead also cuz of bradshaws 2 surgiers on his foot last offseason. i prefer bradshaw to McCoy, but you can go either way on this

McCoy was the best RB against a loaded box.

Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...

Wild_Eagle!

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

I'd rather McCoy avoid people so long as he's not a pussy about it and stays on his feet.

Less hits he takes = longer he’s effective = happy Eagles.

exactly

McCoy trucks people when he has too but avoids when possible and that means he will last alot longer then a back that looks to hit, and McCoy is still younger then alot of our fresh draftees so he has so much more potential if he continues to improve he could become the greatest eagles RB ever

nah, he won't be top 3. top 6 most likely.

but he hass to pass ray rice (who i believe they are the same age, and ray rice is imo more talented)
AP, in a few year when AP gets older he may,
CJ2K when he loses his speed mccoy will pass him but that will be a while,
MJD i dont see that happening,
And Steven Jackson, him i see mccoy passing. unless ofcourse jackson has another great year and rebound from last year

Rice
Rushes:307 Yards:1220 YPC:4.0 TD:5 REC: 63 Yards:556 Avg:8.8 TD:1 Fum:0

On 100 more attempts Rice got only 140 more yards and he had 3 fewer TDs and mccoy had 2 fumbles yes but only lost 1 and rice’s recieving ability was slightly higher but not nearly as much as mccoy was better running

and Steven Jackson is good but not as good as many think

you can tell who runs with better “heart.” Heart is determined by who’s willing to put in the extra hours to make themselves and more importantly, the team better.

On an unrelated note, what problems do you have with Aikman? It was really hard for me to say this at first because of how much I hated him as a player, but Aikman is far and away the best color analyst besides maybe Jaworski.

McCoy was better than Rice.

Foster: 327 carries 1616 yards, 16 TD’s.. 66 catches for 604 yards, 2 TD’s.. 3 fumbles.

Rice: 307 carries 1,220 yards, 5 TD’s.. 63 catches for 1 TD… 0 fumbles.

Same workload but better production from Foster. Dude’s legit, if Charles and CJ can be anointed top 10 after 1 good year (like Rice was last season) Foster deserves the honor too.

Give me facts..

What makes Rice better? And statements that begin with “IMO”, “IMHO” and “I think/feel…” don’t count.

When I look at Top 5 I look at production, fumbles, blocking (which “Ray Ray isn’t that good at”), durability, catching and game changing, I also look at their ability against a loaded box…

Ray’s nowhere close to top 5.. My top 5 is:

(1) Chris Johnson- No comment really.
(2) Adrian Peterson- Stud.
(3) Charles- 2 1/2 years of really good production
(4) Turner- Cosistently on the top of the lists.
(5) Foster- had insane production last year which cannot be denied.

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

domanick davis was very injury prone as well.

David Wright played a month with an undiagnosed broken back. I'm pretty sure it was the shitstain of an organization that did it, too.

You still haven’t read anything or made a case. This isn’t BBV, you can’t just dispute things with nuh-uh here and expect that you’ll win just because you’re arguing in favor of a Giant. You actually have to back up your homer argument. Do it or get out of the discussion.

Against Forte, there is no argument. Forte had more total yardage with 4 less fumbles and 1 more TD, working behind a vastly inferior O-line. Clear cut.

Hillis had 100 yards more than Bradshaw, 5 more tds and only one more fumble. And, teams were loading the box on him, because wtf else were the Browns going to do with the ball? Again, where’s the argument?

Blount broke 1,000 yards as a rookie without a full season’s worth of touches, and he had more yards per carry than Bradshaw. All that despite getting bounced around as a UDFA because he has fists of fury.

I like Forte ahead of AB but you can leave out vastly inferior O-line

being as AB was playing behind 3rd stringers 1/2 the yr.
Blount still falls on deff ears . cant catch small sample . very easy to have high yd per carry when you hardly had the touches of most backs.

And if you were to watch a Giant pre game every team came in with full blown game plan for AB. Most all said “Hes a game changer” hardly the case with Blount maybe next yr it will b. but until then lets save the parade for another day.

Down to just Blount. The fact that Bradshaw is a Giant, and Blount isn’t holds no sway here. 1,000 yards isn’t that small of a sample size. The thing that held him back coming out of college was his temper not his talent.

I’ll take this:

Bradshaw 1235 yds, 4.5 YPA, 8 TDs, 47 catches, 314 yards Yards from Scrimmage: 1549

If it means that I can add in Brandon Jacobs’ totals too

Jacobs 823 yds, 5.6 YPA, 9 TDs, 7 catches, 59 yards Yards from Scrimmage: 882

Yeap, Jacobs had the 2nd highest yards per carry in the NFL, almost 1000 yards, and 9 more TDs as a running back.

You really have to twist the parameters to make the Giants come out ahead in this one.


2010 team totals
Eagles- 2327 rushing yards. 5.4 ypc. 18 TDs. 7 fumbles.
Giants- 2200 rushing yards. 4.6 ypc. 17 TDs. 14 fumbles.

Better total numbers, almost a yard more per carry and half the number of fumbles.
Bear in mind that those numbers don’t account for receiving yards by running backs. I can add those up tomorrow if you’d like.

haha mulligan?

In any case, the thing with fumbles can apply to other areas as well.

People regard fumbles as an important statistic because it acts as a negative play towards the team. I say the same thing with regards to durability. Y’all know where this is going.

You can be the greatest player in the world, but if you’re not on the field, it acts as a deterrent and a negative for the team. Regardless of if you’re a QB, RB, K, whatever.

Everybody disregards Eli’s durability streak (especially important when considering Eli vs Romo) and constantly bring up the negative values that Bradshaw brings with the fumbles.

So again, it depends on how much consideration one wants to put into these “negative plays.” You penalize them, then penalize them equally. If you don’t, then keep it consistent.

David Wright played a month with an undiagnosed broken back. I'm pretty sure it was the shitstain of an organization that did it, too.

Yup Jacobs sucks

…that’s why he averages over 8 TDs/year….2007 and 2008 was a 1000 yard rusher (in 08 had 15 TDs).

In 2009 and 2010, as the back up he got over 800 yards both years and has a combined 14 TDs.

Terrible. I know.

And with my stats I’m aware that the Giants ran the ball 30 times a game. Your Eagles ran 27 times a game, twice what you think.

and he is a starter on almost any team. he is top 15 back for sure

This is why people call you shit pants.

didn't say he was better than him, did I?

5.6 with 150 carries is nothing to sniff at. And half a yard is actually pretty significant considering the lead guy was Charles at 6.1 which is 2nd all time I believe for running backs? So 5.6 is definitely impressive.

I was responding to this mike ginz fellow who says that Jacobs that seems to be telling me that i’m “sad” and that jacobs isn’t good.

Not top 15 good, but as far as back up running backs go he’s definitely one of the top ones, wouldn’t you say, W_E?

While I agree it's not small thing..

I’m just saying it’s harder to hold a YPC of 5.2 over 207 carries than it is to carry 5.6 over 147 carries..

Also I’d agree with mike a little. Jacobs doesn’t run like he should he’s gotten away from that for some reason. I use to like to watch him run but now I just get mad that a guy who runs a 4.5 at 260lb’s dances like a princess.

As far as backup RB’s and whatnot yeah I guess he can have the title of best scruby RB lmao.

I’ll agree to that. He’s gotten away from that style for the past couple years, though he got closer to being the bowling ball of the past last year. 2009 was just bad, though.

When you first

posted that you would be counting QB’s I didn’t bat an eye, as they say, but I think LT has a point about a QB’s rushing attempts and yards are way more often because he had to scrap the play that is called and escape. I don’t know if it should be included or not (?). I’m still thinking as I write this and I would say, yeah, throw it in. You could always break it down both ways, with the QB’s stats and without.

I suppose

someone (not asking anybody to do any work here!) would take all RB’s, WR’s, and QB’s rushing yards and add them up, no? You would have to look at each individual players stats at those positions so you don’t miss anybody.

To simplify it, just do the RB’s.

It would be nice, though, if designed running plays for a QB could be separated from escape runs, and include those, but I know I’m not that ambitious to go looking for that info!

In essence, I liked the idea and it would be another list to talk about :-)

For the more mobile quarterbacks, running is often used in a similar fashion to a checkdown. The time taken to compile that list would be prohibitive. The result would also be so open to interpretation that it would probably be useless.

because you either consider fumbles a sticking point, or you don’t. Bradshaw’s fumbles hurt him, yes, but I think that in terms of pure productivity otherwise, he’s a top 10 back. Which is why I place him at 9 or 10. If you really want to ding him, I don’t think he should drop below 15….maybe 12 or 13 at the lowest.

I highlighted Bradshaw's numbers with McCoy's

They had similar years, with Bradshaw having 150 yards or so less. The only reasoning than you could possibly have for Bradshaw being 11 spots lower is the fumbling? I mean yeah, ding him for that, but 11 spots?

I can see that

Its a potential drive killer so if you have a guy who rushes 90 yards down the field and on the next play he fumbles and the other team gets it its almost like those 90 yards dont count

It’s not an arbitrary 11 spots; there were 15 RBs better than Bradshaw.
Hillis is the only one you’d have a legitimate argument against being better than Bradshaw, but teams were loading the box on him, because wtf else were the Browns going to do with the ball?

meh I'm just going to agree to disagree on that one.

although by many stats, your argument works. Bradshaw and Mccoy both pass my eye test, and both are extremely balanced. There are also quite a few stats that can be molded in Bradshaw’s favor in terms of being a top 15 rb as well.

LT is a RB. Sorry bud. And how is he not one of the greatest to ever play the game? He is 6th all time in rushing yards, he is second all time in rushing touchdowns, he is third all time in touchdowns scored, he is 6th all time in yards from scrimmage, he is 9th all time in all purpose yardage, he is a 5 time pro-bowler and a 6 time all pro. The guy is one of the best running backs to ever play the game and he is still only 31 and in a great situation to push himself further up the all time record lists.

Umm..

(1) LT = Ladanian Tomlinson, get your head out of your ass.

(2) He’s #6 currently on the list of rushing yards… that translates to top 10 All-Time.

(3) LT had 914 rushing yards. Jacobs had 823.. I wouldn’t say 823 is that close, that’s a game and a half for Jacobs considering his rushing yards per game average.

(4) LT also has eight seasons of 1,000+ yards. 3 of them are 1500+ yards…

Ok.

Bradshaw 2010-
11 starts (16 games played)
1,235 yards, 8 TD’s, 7 fumbles… Add on 314 receiving yards is you please…

AP 2009-
15 starts (16 games played)
1,383 yards, 18TD’s, 7 fumbles.. Add on 436 receiving yards if you did with Bradshaw.(I know how you Giant fans like selective stats).

No. AP deserved top 10 last season, 18:7 ratio is much better than an 8:7 ration on TD to fumbles. Also AP played much more than Bradshaw did which Bradshaw splitting time with Jacobs.

Let’s take this a step further… AP had 357 touches, he fumbled 7 times… Bradshaw had 323 touches and fumbles 7 times… What’s the difference? 34 touches and 10 TD’s.

AP’s bad fumbling season deserves much more recognition than Bradshaw’s bad fumbling season… Let’s face it. Bradshaw’s not top 15, and after researching that I’m even thinking he’s lucky I got him in my top 20.

This is a piss poor argument. AP doesn’t need a spellback because he’s an all around RB.. Not his fault he’s capable of doing it all. Bradshaw needs a power guy because he’s not really that strong… And you can’t assume Bradshaw would’ve produced like “BJ”.

He is a very gifted rookie coming very overlooked from the perspective of the draft because he slugged a dude but top 10? He did have 1000 yard with a 5.0 avg but mccoy was at 5.3 with about 580 more recieving yards.. Blount did a good amout a with a moderate amount of touches.

they are both 2nd round steals. and rice is now, but one day mccoy will be top 5 with him

That loaded box stats are a very limited sample size, it said it in the link that only 4 players had 30 or more carries against the loaded box.

Umm,

McCoy:

207 carries, 1,080 yards, 7 TD’s. 78 catches, 592 yards, 2 TD’s… He had 2 fumbles.
Total production- 1672 yards, 9 TD’s and 2 fumbles.

Rice:

307 carries, 1,220 yards, 5 TD’s. 63 catches for 556 yards, 1 TD.. He had 0 fumbles.
Total production- 1,776, 6 TD’s and 0 fumbles.

MJD:

299 carries, 1,324 yards, 5 TD’s. 34 catches for 317 yards, 2 TD’s.. He had 2 fumbles.
Total Production- 1,641 yards, 7 TD’s and 2 fumbles.

First off. McCoy kicks the shit out of MJD. McCoy had more yards, and more TD’s than MJG on significantly less touches (MJD had 333 touches, McCoy had 285 touches).

Secondly, while Rice barely had more yards than McCoy, McCoy had 3 more TD’s, and I’d be dumb as hell to not give up 104 yards in return for 3 more TD’s… BUT your argument was receiving ability, McCoy had the better receiving stats all around…

remember Many of rice's TD's were hawked away by his spell back. McCoy doesnt have a spell back.

and i know you love your McCoy, and we respect him. but really? you put him ahead of MJD? i know i have homerism. but you cant say thats not homerism.
MJD had a down year and was actually i heard hurt last year. dont try to make your case for McCoy over MJD. because it just doesnt work when you use a down year for MJD against a career year for McCoy

Why do you think Rice is more talented then McCoy give me one reason other then I think he does I tell you why I think McCoy has more potential

1. McCoy is younger
2. McCoy is bigger but just as fast
3. McCoy has shown more progression
4. McCoy has stats stolen by Vick
5. McCoy had no right side of an OL last year
6. McCoy played with a broken rib
7. McCoy was the best in the box runner in the NFL last year

but if we are going down that road then stats and performance don’t matter because it can be argued any player opens it up for another like Johnson and Schaub or Vick and McCoy or Young and CJ2K so I recognize it could be argued that way I just want to know why he thinks Rice has all this talent and McCoy doesn’t

More on case for LeGarrete Blount

Again, to reiterate he played in only 13 games with 7 starts! count them! That should not produce a 1,000 yard runner, but it did. He also came off basically a full year of no football, and came right in productively.

Another thing I incorporated on this list was a little personal bias of style. (See McCoy #4, and Blount #10) Where they may be put a little high statistically, this is where I see them fit, if I went generic it would be a boring list.

How so? He is one year removed from 2000 yards from scrimmage in 2009. In the past two seasons, he has 3,817 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns. He is remarkably consistent, he has rushed for at least 80 yards in 21 of his past 32 games. He has averaged 9.7 yards after the catch and 9.2 yards after the catch the past two seasons. And his numbers would be absolutely astounding if he didn’t have Willis McGahee eating up all the red zone opportunities scoring 18 redzone TDs the past two seasons.

To put Ray Rice’s numbers into perspective, let’s compare them to Brian Westbrook’s 2006 and 2007 numbers.
Ray Rice in 2009-2010: 2,559 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns, 1,258 receiving yards, 141 catches, 2 TDs, 3,817 all purpose yards and 14 all purpose touchdowns. In this time frame Ray Rice has averaged 5.4 yards per touch.
Brian Westbrook in 2006-2007: 2,550 yards, 14 rushing touchdowns, 1,470 receiving yards, 167 catches, 9 TDs, 2,020 all purpose yards and 23 all purpose touchdowns. In this time frame Brian Westbrook averaged 5.8 yards per touch.

His production isn’t that far off and it would likely be even greater than Westbrook’s production if Rice wasn’t sharing the ball with Willis McGahee and Le’Ron McClain. In terms of all purpose yardage, Ray Rice’s numbers are as good as any in the league and when Willis McGahee is cut from the Ravens (probably this off season) expect Ray’s touchdown production to sky rocket.

Who knows how long the league will step in though, but Im hoping someone steps up to take it over because I’m pretty sure the McCourts will sell but not before wringing it out to dry.

Okay, I'm going to play devil's advocate here.

LeSean McCoy is too high on all of our lists. Yes, LeSean McCoy has pretty stats and looked great on paper last season. Yes, LeSean McCoy is talented. And yes, LeSean McCoy is a top 2 receiving RB in the NFL.

But, the massive improvements that LeSean McCoy made last season were largely because of the opposing defenses’ focus on DeSean and Vick.
Just look at his numbers in games where Vick missed at least 3 quarters: 78 carries, 303 yards, 3.8 YPC, 2 touchdowns
Compared to when Vick was in the game: 145 carries, 777 yards, 5.35 yards per carry, 5 touchdowns

So that means on his career in games where Vick missed 3 quarters or played sparingly LeSean McCoy has 238 carries, 940 yards, 3.9 YPC and 6 touchdowns. As you can see, LeSean’s production significantly drops off when Vick isn’t playing in the game and forcing defenses to line up with wider splits and have linebackers and safeties play more honestly.

Well I’ve got him in the borderline top 10 range competing with the likes of Rashard Mendenhall, Ahmad Bradshaw (who people need to give more respect), Peyton Hillis, Matt Forte, Michael Turner, Darren McFadden, Ronnie Brown, Ryan Grant and LeGarrette Blount.

LeSean is at the top of the tier 2 of running backs IMO and one more good season could push him into tier one.

And there is no way people should be rating LeSean McCoy above Maurice Jones-Drew, Ray Rice or Frank Gore.

Maurice Jones-Drew is an absolute stud. He averages 1049.6 rushing yards per year on his career despite the fact that he has only started two years. He averages 419 receiving yards per year and 436 return yards per year. On his career he has scored 63 touchdowns and that is despite only being a 2 year starter, that means he averages 12.6 touchdowns per year. So basically the average season for MJD so far in his career is 1049 rushing yards, 419 receiving yards, 1468 yards from scrimmage, 1904 all purpose yards and 12.6 touchdowns. Those are elite numbers and he isn’t a one year wonder, he has been doing this since he entered the league. And, believe it or not, he has only topped 200 carries twice on his career. He was injured last season with a banged up ankle and missed 2 games yet he still managed to put up 1,324 rushing yards, 317 receiving yards, 1641 all purpose yards and 7 touchdowns. Maurice Jones-Drew is a top 5 back and there is no arguing it.

Ray Rice is one year removed from 2000 yards from scrimmage in 2009. In the past two seasons, he has 3,817 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns. He is remarkably consistent, he has rushed for at least 70 yards in 21 of his past 32 games. He has averaged 9.7 yards after the catch and 9.2 yards after the catch the past two seasons. And his numbers would be absolutely astounding if he didn’t have Willis McGahee eating up all the red zone opportunities scoring 18 redzone TDs the past two seasons.

Frank Gore is another guy we’re all forgetting because he broke his hip. He is a proven commodity who from 2006-2009 rushed for 4935 yards, 29 touchdowns, caught 209 passes for 1700 yards and 7 touchdowns. That means in his last 4 seasons where he played at least 14 games he has averaged 1233 rushing yards, 7.25 rushing touchdowns, 52.25 catches, 425 receiving yards, 1.75 receiving touchdowns, 1658 yards from scrimmage and 9 total touchdowns. Those numbers are on par with the best in the league. And in 2010, despite missing 5 games he still managed 1305 yards from scrimmage and 5 touchdowns which means he was averaging 118 yards from scrimmage per game.

And I just realized we’re forgetting DeAngelo Williams too. He sprained his foot and missed 11 games this past season but prior to that he was a top 5 back in the NFL. In his past 35 starts he has rushed the ball 576 times for 2993 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns. He also caught 62 passes for 434 yards and 2 touchdowns. That means he was averaging 16 carries, 86 rushing yards a game and .75 rushing touchdowns a game. Those numbers are only worse than numbers that were put up by Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson. And he did all that despite sharing carries with Jonathan Stewart.

And we’re forgetting Jonathan Stewart too who is an absolute monster.

Updated rankings after I looked into it some more:
1. Adrian Peterson
2. Chris Johnson
3. Jamaal Charles
4. Arian Foster
5. Maurice Jones-Drew
6. Steven Jackson
7. Frank Gore
8. DeAngelo Williams
9. Ray Rice
10. LeSean McCoy
11. Michael Turner
12. Jonathan Stewart
13. Rashard Mendenhall
14. Ryan Grant
15. Peyton Hillis
16. Darren McFadden
17. Ahmad Bradshaw
18. Matt Forte
19. Ladainian Tomlinson
20. Cedric Benson
21. Ronnie Brown
22. Lagarette Blount
23. Knowshon Moreno
24. Ryan Matthews
25. Benjarvus Green-Ellis

Steven Jackson and DeAngelo Williams I dont think are ahead of McCoy. Jackson is on the decline and I think McCoy’s upside makes him more valuable than Jackson. As for Williams, I dont think its close because while DWill has a ton of talent if he stays in Carolina I cant justify putting him over McCoy.

Ryan Grant is interesting. I am curious to see his effectiveness coming back from the injury. I wouldnt be surprised if he regressed to the point that he falls to just past Benson. Also, Blount is way to low. I agree that even top 15 is a stretch but I just cant say he should fall out of the top 20. I think Bradshaw should be higher as well. I hate the giants but I still think Bradshaw should be ahead of Grant.

Steven Jackson has literally carried that sorry ass Rams team on his back for about half a decade now. The guy is a yards from scrimmage monster and he’s been doing it with a far less talented supporting cast, a far inferior offensive line, a worse coaching staff and he’s been doing it longer than McCoy.

DeAngelo Williams is quite simply a better back than McCoy. Williams has been doing work with Jake Delhomme and Matt Moore as his QBs. He and Jonathan Stewart have been tearing it up (their absence/injuries were why the Panthers sucked last year) and they’ve been the main focus of defenses. DeAngelo Williams is a short, compact back with elite vision and great quickness (not long speed). He is tough, he runs hard, he runs with a great center of gravity and balance. The guy has it all. Best case scenario for guys like Mark Ingram is to be like DeAngelo Williams. He put up monster numbers despite sharing the ball and constantly being nicked up.

And Ryan Grant only sprained his ankle and he is 100% recovered already, he’ll be fine. From 2007-2009 he has ran for 3412 yards and 23 touchdowns on 4.4 yards per carry. The guy is a proven back who can carry the load. He is a top 15 back in the NFL right now.

And Blount is getting so much hype he doesn’t deserve. He is a fun young talent who is exciting to watch but he isn’t a top 15/20 back in the league yet. There are a bunch of proven players who should, at this point be ranked above him (like LT, Benson and Brown). Blount is one dimensional, he isn’t an elusive player and he lacks lateral quickness and elusiveness. He can’t catch the ball to save his life, he had 14 receiving yards last year. He only rushed for 6 rushing touchdowns. And he beat up on some sorry run defenses, he only received more than 10 carries against top 16 rush defenses 5 times and in those games here is how he fared: 91 carries, 352 yards, 3.8 YPC and 1 TD.

agreed with much of what you have to say d-jack

One thing I want to add, is that in my opinion, durability should count for something. Games missed due to injury are just as important as fumbles lost, TDs scored, YPC, whatever…

…if you’re not on the field, doesn’t matter how talented you are, its not going to make a difference. With that, I’d ding Grant, Gore, Deangelo, etc., slightly.

David Wright played a month with an undiagnosed broken back. I'm pretty sure it was the shitstain of an organization that did it, too.

I’d agree if it was recurring thing, a la Ronnie Brown, but I’m not sure I’d penalize Ryan Grant. It’s football injuries happen. The guy’s not exactly injury-prone.

Jackson:

he’s been doing it longer than McCoy

This is very true however he is going to start wearing down soon due to having to carry a team. In Jackson’s prime I agree he was A LOT better than McCoy however as he ages and McCoy develop I think McCoy passes him.

Williams: I mentioned that talent wise Williams is better than McCoy but to me I see success as a combination of two things: Success=Talent+Situation. In this case the awful situation of Carolina and the great situation for McCoy is philly is why I rank McCoy higher.

Grant: While, it may only be an ankle injury it doesnt mean it wont affect him. Not only will his legs possibly not be as strong but he wouldn’t have played competitively for a full year. This might not be a factor however IMO it is enough of a concern to be wary of a regression.
Blount: My issue with the placement of Blount is similar to my issue in Jackson vs McCoy. I think you are looking at past results too much and not enough into the future. LT is great IMO a top 3 all time rb however he is getting older and I question him as a top 20 back in the future. Benson was struggling at times last year and reports I’ve heard have Bernard Scott taking a majority of the carries in the coming season. Also, Matt Forte isnt proven he had a great rookie year and has been mediocre the rest of his carrer. I would rather a rookie who in about half a season had 1000 and has much more talent than forte in the future.

In terms of size/strength/speed combination, I’m taking Adrian Peterson #1 and Jonathan Stewart #2. Jonathan Stewart is a man. If he ever got the chance to be a feature back and he stayed healthy he would be a top 5 NFL back, I have no doubts about it. He can do it all on the football field, his tools are incredible. As a part time back he has put up 2,739 yards and 22 TDs (20 in his first two seasons), he averages 4.7 yards a carry on his career. He can literally drag players with him with the amount of force he brings and he has break away speed too. Jonathan Stewart is one of my favorite players in the league and I wanted the Eagles to draft him soooooooo bad coming out of college but he was picked earlier than people expected him to be.

Carolina RB's

Such a down year last year! Learned via fantasy.

I am such a DeAngelo Williams fan, but last year he just blew. I watched some Carolina football with him being so invested via fantasy, and Carolina would go into possessions just trying to pound the ball, and they couldn’t do it. Constant 3 and outs. Stewart looked pretty bad as well.

Now, obviously they had 0 passing attack, and probably constant “loaded boxes” but they just flat didn’t perform. Couldn’t put either in my top 20 now, but I think if DeAngelo finds his game he’s a top 5 back.

by Lip-Out on May 25, 2011 4:10 AM EDT reply actions  

Well shit let me jump in the fray

1) Adrian Peterson- nobody else can carry a team on his back like this guy. Perfect mix of size, agility and speed, the guy is a beast. Still a top performer even with that ego maniac Favre trying to hog the glory.
2) Chris Johnson- Whether it be Vince Young, Kerry Collins or random dude off the street, the man performs up to his ego. He is often time the only offense they have, and he is often times the only offense they need.
3) Frank Gore- A little high? No and I will tell you why. Besides for his rash of bad luck injuries what is this guys flaws? Argubably has been put into the worst position out of any other RB in the league (see Alex Smith as starting QB) and yet is still a border line top 5 back statiscally at seasons end. In a more balance offense he might top this list.
4) MJD- When you play Jacksonville you know where the offense is coming from, the opposing defenses coaches and players know where the offense is coming from, and yet he still drops alot of monster games. When they stack the line but can’t shut you down, and you have been doing this consistently for a few years now, you earn a top ranking.
5) Jamaal Charles- Productive when he was the featured back ( 1000+ yds in 2009-10 even though he didn’t get more then 6 carries before week 10) and when forced to split time (led league in avg. yards per carry for any player who rushed more then 101 times at a ridiculous 6.4). He did all of this while playing for a shitty to mediocre KC team.
6) Steven Jackson- Only reason Sam Bradford was as succesful as he was, is because this man is in the backfield. He has lost a step but is still the cog that got this St. Louis team in a last week showdown for the NFC West title with a rookie QB.
7) LeSean McCoy- Was successful as a spell back, as the featured back with McNabb, and as the featured back with Vick. Tied for second with avg yds per rush for any player who ran 200 times or more. He did that in a pass heavy, pass lightly, then run offense (avg 14 att a game).
8) Ray Rice- I like Rice a lot, but after such an explosive 2009-10 I like many others was disappointed with the performance received in 10-11. Does this mean he is not a 3 down back? To reach this top 5 you have to be.
9) Michael Turner- When healthy he is damn near unstoppable. Amazing power, deceptive speed, he is a beast. His style leads to too often being banged up and that inhibits his production leaving him lower on the list then I like.
10) Arian Foster- if he does the same thing again he shoots to the top 3, but as amazing as his one season was, I can’t put him that high until I see consistency.
