Bay 2,003 Posted October 15, 2013 I'm just happy Frank the Tank isn't done yet. Looked real bad out of the gate but it was vs. Green Bay who has a outstanding run D this year and Seattle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KempBolt 498 Posted October 15, 2013 1. Peterson 2. McCoy 3. Charles everybody else Lynch doesn't even get a mention? He's been doing the dirty work picking up the tough yardage behind poor blocking, and his receiving game has been better than ever before thus far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Burfict Storm 39 Posted October 15, 2013 Giovanni Bernard Just to give my team a shoutout and to be the first to say it before he explodes on the scene - if Jay Gruden ever uses him correctly, or more often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's well on his way. Could be there by season's end. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don't invest first round picks in running backs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
housemd 338 Posted October 15, 2013 Can we start making top 40 lists so I can see Le'Veon Bell's name? It's not fair. In all seriousness, my list would be a lot different than it was before. I wouldn't list Knowshon Moreno as a top 10 back yet, but he's on the right track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos 2,847 Posted October 16, 2013 So does anyone still think that CJ2YPC is a top-ten back? Are we done making excuses for him, or are we still going that route? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KempBolt 498 Posted October 16, 2013 So does anyone still think that CJ2YPC is a top-ten back? Are we done making excuses for him, or are we still going that route? I would like the make the excuse that he has played like shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay 2,003 Posted October 16, 2013 Adrian Peterson and Calvin Johnson were the only players with more yards from scrimmage this year than Doug Martin, yet he is missing from nearly every list on here for simply being a rookie. lol Doug Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl Nicks is hobbled and has missed time, while Davin Joseph has played like utter dog shit (all name, no game). And from a broader perspective, the Bucs' offense just hasn't been effective in general. I've only seen a couple games this year, but I've heard a few analysts say that Martin is making the best with what he has to work with. I for one still think he's a top ten RB talent wise. Maybe the offense will perk up a bit and he'll be able to show it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted December 23, 2013 Just for shits and giggles, here is PFF's Top 10:1. LeSean McCoy2. Jamaal Charles 3. Eddie Lacy 4. Gio Bernard 5. Danny Woodhead 6. DeMarco Murray 7. Marshawn Lynch 8. Darren Sproles9. Joique Bell10. Andre Ellington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherry 1,302 Posted December 24, 2013 Woodhead at 5 makes me cringe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) To be fair, most of woodhead's grade is as a receiver. Here are their top ten as pure runners: 1. Shady 2. Marshawn 3. All Day 4. Jamaal Charles 5t. Demarco Murray 5t. Alfred Morris 7. Eddard Lacy 8. Andre Ellington 9. Arian Foster (Still!) 10t. Donald Brown 10t.

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted December 24, 2013 Ya, because we frown upon well-rounded RBs around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted December 24, 2013 It isn't so much that well rounded backs are bad, it's that a guy who gets most of his grade from being a receiver is not really a top ten runningback. Giving equal weighting to rushing, receiving and blocking isn't the ideal way to measure running backs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted December 24, 2013 Neither is completely avoiding two big aspects of the position. Give me a good runner who can block and catch over a great runner who can't catch or block any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted December 24, 2013 Not what I'm saying either, but if you're gonna evaluate runningbacks, running has to be the primary thing you look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
