tkatz Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Useing blocking, running, and pass catching as the criteria who is the best running back in the league. A lot of possible choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Tomlinson still obviously, to do that in San Diego is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Holmes is a close second, but Tomlinson is little bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Man, I was just down at the tent with Ricky, mulling up, chilling out and shaving heads, and he wanted me to tell everyone that from now on, he wants to be known as FIGJAM.

SkinnedAussie Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 From my observations from a far away land, with what he's done in such a crap franchise would have to put Corey Dillon at least on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saqs Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I have to say Jamal. He's got the best combination of speed, power, and hands in the league. On top of that, he's durable and can handle 25+ carries a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saqs Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Originally posted by red zone Jamal? Durable? Dude misses whole seasons at a time..... What? He missed one season (2001) with a torn ACL. Every other year he's played in all 16 games with 300+ carries (almost 400 last year) in each.

Skins26 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Deshaun Foster..........I have no proof to back it up YET! Except that one game last week, and I will admit that was against the Chiefs. But i've been trying to tell people for years now, this guy has the most talent out of anyone i've ever seen. I think they are going to tell Davis to take his time with that knee injury, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Foster had microfracture knee surgery a few years ago. He may never have the opportunity to live up to his potential. LT is the best RB right now. Took over the crown from Holmes last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophet Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 james is back to where he was 2 years ago... unstopable. he is the best back in the league, but most people haven't noticed yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 We've done this before, but never a bad topic once the season gets underway. My personal favorite is Portis. I think the guy has tons of heart and is a true competitor. Right now LT edges him out just because he has more experience. There are a ton of great backs in the league. One guy to keep an eye on would be McGahee... he is gonna be something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKS1414 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Gotta be LT.....especially when you can put up those kind of numbers in San Diego!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xanathos19 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Don't get me wrong, Portis is a stud and is going to light it up for us, but LT is the best back by a landslide...not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate-Zeo Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 No question...L.T. by a landslide. Not only did he run for like 1300 yds, he caught 100 balls....as a RB. That's insane. Couple that with the fact the every defense facing them knows the ball is going to him, and that makes him the best back in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins26 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Foster had microfracture knee surgery a few years ago. He may never have the opportunity to live up to his potential. Could have fooled me last week, and in the playoffs/superbowl last year. My pick in Foster is really going out on a cliff, b/c like I said he hasnt proved himself yet. Buy I watched the guy in college and have always followed him, and I truely think that he is the most talented back in the league. Yes he had the knee surgery, but he doesnt appear to have lost a step, he has tremedous speed and quickness, and my god does he have power, he just throws people off, that 2 yard TD run against the Eagles in the NFC Championship was one of the most amazing plays i've ever seen. And I am standing by my prediction that they may tell Davis to take a little more time to make sure that his knee is okay, maybe even into next season, and Davis may very well never start a game for the Panthers again unless Foster gets hurt.

skin_finatic Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Its LT. Can't Look over a Very Crappy san diego chargers team with no qb wr's or oline and he still got more than 1600 yards rushing and 700 yards reciveing....and he also had 100 catches!
