Vernand Morency 39. Jerious Norwood 40. Dominic Rhodes This is ridicoulous... not only is he much better than at least half of these runnigbacks, but ladell betts is also better. How can you put reggie bush over clinton portis? CLinton (when healthy) has been very consistent, and when you think about it he hasnt been critically injured that much.... I have officially lost all respect for SCOTT ENGEL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playboy1972 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Because he doesn't make very many plays when the wholes are not "perfectly" blocked. How many times have you seen him reverse his field and take it for 60 yards. He never takes a short dump passes and juke a player for 25 extra yards. If he gets large chunks of yardage it is because the whole was big enough to drive a truck through. Now he will beat you to the corner from the 10 yard line. But as far as him making something out of nothing. It ain't happenin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 McAllister? Maurice Jones-Drew? Willie Parker? Are you kidding me? He put CP in the same area as Chester Taylor, Brandon Jacobs, and Marion Barber? Wow. I guess one so-so year means your whole career was worthless. Portis, even playing with that shoulder injury, was leading the league in TDs at one point. Wow. Just wow.

Last season teams were stacking the box since we had no vertical passing game and he still managed to get a good amount of yards and TDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Day Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I think his injuries last year have a lot to do with it. He should be in the top 10 but it is not unreasonable to not have him rated that high, now below Edgerrin James is a bit extreme at this point but, ahh its the media and we are skins fans, you should be used to it.

But as far as him making something out of nothing. It ain't happenin'. His vision man. His vision. What you're talking about is only a part of the equation, and not many of those guys listed above him do that at all anyway. It's RARE to see a RB do that consistenly, actually. You can argue Ladanian Tomlinson himself doesn't do it that often. It's about elusiveness, toughness, and vision when you're a RB. CP has those things in abundance. He makes it look easy, and I don't remember "holes big enough to drive a truck through" opening up for him in 2005. I just remember him coming out of piles of bodies with a bunch more yards than he should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigyim Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 This is a FANTASY football list...who's going to get you the most points, not who is the best RB. As a result, RBs who are in a platoon situation, or who are coming back from injury (like Portis) aren't going to be ranked in the top 10. If you're going to get all the carries on a decent team, you're gonna be ranked higher...hence Benson, Addai and Travis Henry's rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgundyMalaise Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 NO comment....other than he's a def. top 5 back in the league. As far as for the skins, the only backs that might be better for us are Larry Johnson, Steven Jackson, maybe LT, but our scheme is so much different than San Diego's.

Skins110 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 One injury riddled season is all it takes for people to forget I guess. CP is top 10. This list is stupid and inaccurate. He's one of the fastestest backs to ever reach 5,000 yards (I think he is like the 3rd fastest to 5,000). But I guess he is only number 20 in the league.........

909997 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 The recent surge of player moves and other news and rumors have certainly changed the landscape of the most important position in fantasy football. While the top overall projected picks don't look much different, the rest of field has a new look in terms of ratings. So it's time to re-evaluate and re-rank the running backs for now, with in-depth analysis to follow. http://insider.espn.go.com/fantasy/football/ffl/story?id=2790781&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2ffantasy%2ffootball%2fffl%2fstory%3fid%3d2790781 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Pressure Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/407605 Clearly, Bush is the 11th best runner in the league! Look at those numbers!!!!! Portis got hurt this year lets see how he did... http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/302215 He should be top 10 and he played half a season, didnt even get near to his normal amount of carries...

LloydBraun Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Scott Engel is a fantasy football writer for ESPN. I think everyone can realize he's so low b/c of the fact Betts will be around getting carries taking away from Portis' fantasy production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
