Eh, one 1000 yard rushing season in 5 years isn't going to get you an elite season. Charles and AP have been elite backs for at least a few seasons before their respective injuries.

If Freddy keeps it going this year, they'll show him his due respect.

Homer any....anyway over one point, smh. IMO he is has the breakaway potential and not only is he able to make people miss, he's a bigger back who can also run through some would be tacklers, giving him a slight advantage as a ball-carrier.

LeSean McCoy had a great season, but it was his first one like that, Forte's been consistently good since 2008 at a high level. Therefore he'd get the nod in MY book even if it is just ONE POINT.

I think it's Ray's pass catching ability that sets him slightly ahead of McCoy. Not saying McCoy isn't a good pass catcher but last year Ray did more in that department.

Ahh!! But that's the problem! Is it based on their careers or coming into this year!?!?!?

I'm a Panthers fan

Personally I think Stewart and Williams are good enough to be in the top ten but since they split carries they don't really receive national recognition or gaudy statistics. But if you look at their stats (avg ypc, etc.) they're as good/better than HB's on that list.

No biggie, I try to keep my inner homer in check . But when I see Cam's DAC at 75 and RGIII at 88, then I make some noise considering Cam had about an 85 at the end of M12 iirc, so why a 10 point drop...

Cam was a 77 ovr rookie as the number one overall pick, then went on to re-write record books and RGIII and Luck come out with better stats...I just don't get it.

Nope sorry I gotta stop you RIGHT THERE. Shady McCoy is the best receiving running back in the NFL right now. No way on this earth I'm taking Ray Rice on a screen over Shady.

When you get hurt and only make it through half the season, you have to base it off of recent years as well.

Just because he had a good start to the season before getting injured doesn't mean they should make him an elite back for this year.
