    I think the first two are right eventhough AP beasted this year. But LT still had a good year, u cnt expect him to duplicate last seasons numbers.

    Westbrook is 3 easily after westbrook there is a huge dropoff in talent. Mcgahee should drop down to like 10 or 11 he is not that good. Jackson should be 5 he started off horrible because he was injured but finished really strong.

    Gore and James should drop out. Ryan Grant played great for the 2nd half of the season he should be in there.

    Someone made a great point, that guy from Minnesota Chester Taylor is an amazing back and if he wasnt behind AP he could be in the top 10.

    I forgot Ronnie Brown Too

    1. LT

    2. AP

    3. Westbrook

    4. Addai

    5. Jackson

    6. Parker

    7. Ronnie Brown

    8. Chester Taylor

    9. Mgahee

    10 Portis

    11. Fred Taylor

    12 Jones-Drew

    13. Grant

    14. Barber

    15 Bush

    Good job though, everything u put is arguable except Westbrook was underated and Mcgahee is not the 4th best RB and u forgot Ronnie Brown

    Im still putting Parker on there even though hes hurt, but Reggie Bush wouldnt get a spot on my list anyway. I see three huge underacheivers here(Steven Jackson, Frank Gore, LJ), and you have Edgerrin James, who no-one has heard anything from since he was with Indy.

    1. LT

    2. Adrian Peterson

    3. Willie Parker

    4. Joseph Addai

    5. Brian Westbrook

    6. Willis McGahee

    7. Fred Taylor

    8. Marion Barber

    9. Jamal Lewis

    10. Clinton Portis

    11. Steven Jackson

    12. Chester Taylor

    13. Ronnie Brown

    14. Ryan Grant

    15. Maurice Jones Drew

    I think you have to put in Ronnie Brown and Jamal Lewis. Brown was one of the best players this season until he went on IR and Lewis proved that he still can run the ball.

    I also think that Westbrook is the number three running back of the NFL.

  • 1 decade ago

    how u gonna put LJ tht low. b4 he got hurt the chiefs were in the playoff race then he got hurt and they lost liek 7 straight games. thts with no other offensive options and a mediocre o line. id have him in my top 5 plus u gotta have jamal lewis and ronnie brown in there. i d put westbrook into the top 5 move mcgahee out of the top 5, hes too inconsistent.
