    Ranking the RBs

    The talent at the RB position is in an exciting place right now imo. It's some really good backs in the league right now along with some talented rookies. Where do the top backs rank though? List your opinions. 1. Adrian Peterson - For me, A.P is still the undisputed RB until proven otherwise. His throne can't be toppled in one season. He's one of the best and exciting RBs I've ever gotten to watch and he's catching up with my all time favorite player ever; Barry Sanders. 2. - Jamaal Charles - This guy is averaging 5.5 yards per carry in his CAREER. Elite agility, elite speed, amazing vision, Charles can beat you bad anywhere on the field which makes him one of the most dangerous RB's in the game. He's the most efficient RB and gets the most out of his carries. 3. Marshawn Lynch - This guy earned his name in beast mode. He straight dominates guys and makes them look like kids. He is hands down the most difficult runner to bring to the ground and he punishes guys who dare to tackle him. Lynch is the best RB gaining yards after contact; explosive gains after contact as well as short. Defenses just can't bring him down. He's the toughest RB in the league and puts beatings on defenses wearing them down. 4. Leveon Bell - Bell's skill set is amazingly lethal. Bell was easily one of the most entertaining backs to watch this year. He has good patience, great stop and start agility with crisp cuts and a major threat in the receiving game. He was hands down the most dangerous dual threat back in the league last year leading the league in yards from scrimmage. He has the skill set of Matte Forte but an enchanced more talented version. I'm totally disregarding my consistency stripe rule putting him this high after only one good season. If he keeps it up next year, he can move up this list. 5. Arian Foster - All this guy does is produce. He may not have as many moves as some of the other elite backs but he makes guys miss and gets explosive gains after contact. Despite his injury issues, he still racked up great production in the games he was available in. He only trailed Demarco Murray in 100 yard games having 7 of them. For some reason, people seem to forget about Foster. 6. Demarco Murray - Had an amazing year; a historic one. He played tough football and his motor never seemed to stop. He lead the league in big plays with 45 plays over 10+ yards. The support of his offensive line was of elite talent and opened up some big holes for the RB. Hopefully he can keep up the production with the Eagles. One big issue for Murray is his fumbling problem. He fumbled 5 times and lost each one which is a really bad statistic and won't contribute to winning games (see packers playoff game). 7. Lesean McCoy - I've ranted about McCoy well before we traded him. Still an elite back in this league but last year he appeared to be a half second to slow when it came to juking defenders and making guys miss. No stat exposes that more than him being one of the worst RBs in the league in yards after contact. McCoy wasn't as explosive as the year prior. I don't know if it was because of his increased work load getting over 300 carries the year prior, but he didn't appear the same. His decision making was suspect as well. Instead of going through the open gap, he'd tried to dance outside which resulted in him being the #1 stuffed RB in the league. Ccan't wait to see how he does with the Bills though. 8. Matte Forte - Still one of the most dangerous dual threat RBs in this league. He struggled in the running game but still made big plays in the passing game. Still had over 9 games of 100 yards from scrimmage so he's always a threat to impact a game. 9. Eddie Lacy - Beast mode 2.0 in the making. Had a slow start off to the season but picked it up towards mid season. Another tough guy to bring down and fits into the mold of that smash mouth football. 10. Jeremy Hill - I love this kid. He was my favorite back coming out of the draft. He played great this past season and made a lot of plays. He demonstrated great vision and made a lot of explosive plays after contact. I think his vision though was elite and he made great decision. I'm very excited to see him moving forward.
