Offensive Backfield

Quarterback

Code:

Name Old TM Exp Cur Fut Key Stats

Code:

Peyton Manning      IND    7   80   85  4803 yd, 64%, 29 td, 8 int, 102.3 QBR
Mark Brunell        JAX   11   41   41  547 yd, 55%, 3 td, 7 int, 53.1 QBR
Kordell Stewart     CHI   10   35   36  2348 yd, 62%, 13 td, 13 int, 76.2 QBR
Tommy Maddox        PIT    8   35   50  3834 yd, 66%, 34 td, 10 int, 108.0 QBR
Rodney Peete        CAR   15   34   34  3088 yd, 60%, 7 td, 25 int, 61.4 QBR
Steve Beuerlein     DEN   16   33   33  104 yd, 80%, 1 td, 1 int, 118.7 QBR
Marc Bulger         STL    5   30   65  DNP
Gus Frerotte        MIN   11   28   32  196 yd, 59%, 1 td, 103.5 QBR
Doug Flutie         SDO   11   27   36  27 yd, 50%, 71.8 QBR
Kelly Holcomb       CLE    7   26   40  2683 yd, 51%, 17 td, 18 int, 65.5 QBR

Comments: Quarterback is a pathetically weak position this year. Manning, of course, is the class of this position by far. And you figure after his performance last year, Maddox will get some looks. But all in all, the pickings are very slim here. There are six starters available (including Quincy Carter, ranked below the cutoff for the list above), and that doesn't include Brunell, the second-best passer available, or Tim Couch, ranked just behind quarterback partner Holcomb (who is also available). Maddox, Bulger and Holcomb still have plenty of growing to do, as does Chris Weinke and Rob Johnson, so there are some good backup types available with decent potnetial for the future. For the most part, though, when Manning signs, the impact players left will likely be nil.

Running Back

Code:

Code:

Curtis Martin       NYJ   10   52   52  973 yd, 3 td
Eddie George        TEN    9   46   47  627 yd, 5 td, 17 rec, 99 rec yd
Duce Staley         PHI    8   46   47  1021 yd, 8 td
James Jackson       CLE    4   46   53  401 yd,2 td, 24 rec, 176 rec yd, 1 rec td
Thomas Jones        TBY    5   45   50  1027 yd, 5 td
Corey Dillon        CIN    8   43   43  981 yd, 5 td, 35 rec, 268 rec yd, 3 rec td
Troy Hambrick       DAL    5   43   46  889 yd, 3 td, 20 rec, 112 rec yd, 1 rec td
Antowain Smith      NED    8   41   41  756 yd, 4 td
Michael Pittman     TBY    7   41   41  312 yd, 2 td, 17 rec, 90 rec yd, 2 rec td
Michael Bennett     MIN    4   40   45  49 yd, 2 rec, 24 rec yd

Comments: At least the quarterback position had one star. Running back has virtually no big names available. What it gives up in quality, though, it gains in simple overwhelming medicority. Basically, no one is going to have to overspend for a guy like Martin or George, because there are literally 20-30 other backs with similar skills (or not far behind) who can do just as good a job. Teams just looking to fill a hole won't have any problems. Teams looking to get an offense-defining star will have to look elsewhere.

Fullback

Code:

Name Old TM Exp Cur Fut Key Stats

Code:

Greg Comella        HOU    7   56   56  206 yd, 52 rec, 283 rec yd, 2 rec td, 4 krb
Terrelle Smith      NOS    5   49   55  30 yd, 15 rec, 85 rec yd, 4 krb
Patrick Hape        DEN    8   44   45  38 yd, 6 rec, 36 rec yd, 8 krb
Brad Hoover         CAR    5   44   47  49 rec, 262 yd, 2 td, 5 krb
Dan Kreider         PIT    5   44   51  55 yd, 25 rec, 143 rec yd, 2 rec td, 12 krb
Fred McCrary        NED    8   43   43  12 rec, 44 yd, 1 krb
Jerald Sowell       NYJ    8   35   41  54 yd, 1 td, 4 rec, 17 rec yd

Comments: Next to quarterback, this is probably the weakest overall position in this free agency class. Unlike quarterback, though, you can get a pretty solid fullback for lesser talent and he will still do the job for you. Comella and Smith are top-twenty fullbacks and probably the best of this bunch. But the depth of similar ability fullbacks is decent once you get past Comella.
