Clearly you are a Kc fan and I'm an oak fan but how is jc a top 5 back? I'm not saying he's definitely not. I'm saying madden likes to go by the most recent year which jc didn't have one. And HE had 2 very good years besides last year. But what makes him a top 5 runner. Chris johnson is just forgotten which is a joke but still there are guys that have produced just like jc for longer.

Really do not understand how rundmc did not crank into the top 5 yet alone the top 10, but kind of like the majority of people I think the list got the players rated a little too high and gave a few too many players a snub.

Someone said that McFadden was a top ten player (not limited to backs) I was saying that if McFadden is a top ten player, then Jamaal Charles has to be a top five player. I don't really feel like Charles is a top five back but I'd say at this point he's proven far more than McFadden has. I think where they have Charles slotted is pretty accurate considering everything.

I could go either way on Johnson because he's proven he can be a great but last year has to make you wonder. I watched Larry Johnson first hand run for 1300+ yards in 9 starts and nearly 1800 yards a year later only to become absolute trash.

If you are arguing that McFadden is not worth top 10 Rb money or that he should not be a first round fantasy player that fine, but his skill ratings in Madden should not be lowered because of his injury history just to push him below top particularly when 2 of the 10 are coming of ACL injuries which is more likely to be lingering.

Yeah this comment is so homerish and i hard to even frame a response.

Again in real life the truth is Charles has never been as good as McFadden was last year pre injury. RBs have a very short shelf life these days in 3 year thei list will be totally different not sure what that has to do with Madden to 10.

I was just trying to match this one:

There was also a hint of sarcasm in there. I don't truly believe Charles is a top ten player but if McFadden is going to be considered a top ten player, then yeah, I feel like Charles should be at least top five based on what they've done.

We don't really know if that's the case yet. They've already stated overalls are calculated a bit differently this year according to schemes and what not. If the injury rating plays any role what so ever in the overall, then that is going to do nothing but hurt him. There's also the new durability rating that may play a role in overalls and again, do nothing but hurt him. It wouldn't change any of his skill set but it would make him appear less valuable because he is incredibly injury prone.

2011 Darren McFadden - 7 games (basically 6), 113 carries, 614 yards, 19 receptions, 154 yards, 5 touchdowns

2009 Jamaal Charles last 4 games - 94 carries, 658 yards, 13 receptions, 79 yards, 4 touchdowns

In 2010, Charles ran for 310 more yards on just 7 more carries.

Including Mcfadden and excluding Charles is a bit ridiculous imo. Charles numbers are better than DMACs and Charles is a career 6.1 YPC runner. Im not saying that DMAC doesnt belong anywhere in the top ten, but definitely not above Charles.
