ahmad bradshaw deserves a honorable mention. anyone whos watched him play would agree. bradshaw > jacobs by far last year

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

I think anyone that doesnt include Frank Gore on their list needs to watch a couple more Niners games.

Definitely but he's always banged up and never gets the full load.

Hopefully both he and Jacobs will be healthy and the big man will be able to hit those holes like he did two years ago.

I live in Sacramento, CA...I watch niner games. He's very good. Very very good. If I was going to list any negatives it's his goaline ability, and Singletary knows it's a problem. That's why you see stupid shit like when he niners make it 1st and goal and you see three power dives with Michael fucking Robinson for no gain and a punt...and Gore is standing healthy and relaxed on the sideline.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Johnathan Stewart is a top 5 back in this league.

Hes getting there, definitely. We wont know fully until DeAngelo leaves town, but Jonathon Stewart has All-Pro written all over him.

In no particular order

-Chris Johnson
-Stephen Jackson
-Cedric Benson
-Mo-Jo
-Thomas Jones
-Adrian Peterson
-Frank Gore
-Deangelo Williams
-Ray Rice
-Ronnie Brown (Just cuz he got hurt this year doesn't mean he sucks)

4. Maurice Jones-Drew - This little cannon ball can do it all. He's a powder keg of sorts, deceptively strong, great explosive technique and low center of gravity at the line of scrimmage. He's impressive in the passing game, and scores in bunches. He plays larger than his 5-7 208 lbs frame, and he's been slowed down at times from minor injuries, but he's still worthy of nearly gaining 1,400 yards with another 500 receiving and 15 total touchdowns. I'd consider Rice over MJD if Rice were alone, but I think MJD could outscore him.
.

lolwut? He played every game this season. The only reasons he didn't get a whole bunch of yards in some games was because teams would key in on him all game.

lol at anyone even having Green as an honorable mention, ppl forget about Leon Washington? Greens gunna be the 3rd RB he wont sniff 100 carries

Bradshaw has grown on me, and the black Superman needs to be a little more indestructible.

 

[Fox1994]

You know who's really underrated (besides Ryan Grant)? Jerome Harrison...

He's probably not top ten, but he gets no love for what he accomplishes. He filled-in for Jamal Lewis well. He had 862 yards last year. Five touchdowns. I'm expecting at least 1000 yards, probably between 8-13 TDs next year.

The Browns suck, so it's not like they have a lot of options... Who knows maybe Brady Quinn will come together next year... I doubt it, but it's possible.

Anyway, I like your list.

I doubt it. If TJ continues to play like he did in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, he's gonna get phased-out. They'll probably end-up running a pure committee sometime next year, and then Leon and Greene are gonna run ish.

Jones is a great back. I think he might even deserve top-ten status, but Greene was the man in the Super Bowl.

You mean the super bowl the jets didnt play in? Thomas Jones has been a top 3 rusher in the NFL for the past 3 years, why would they phase him out for a player who's had a few good games? Are you fucking retarded....shit, now sarah palins gunna be pissed at me.

No love for Clinton Portis back in a Mike Shanahan offense?

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

That's not how I saw it. While I agree he's singled out and keyed, he's had several small leg injuries that have slowed him down. Deep thigh bruise in pre-season limited his production the first couple weeks. Week 9 he got a sprained knee and skidded for three weeks with average production. It was this period that I feel he slowed down. Slowed down does not mean missing games and zero production, slowed down just means he had multiple 75 yard games with very few scores. I've noticed he gets banged up a lot. You have to have seen him hobbling in games, I have. Which leads me to a point I didn't make in my OP, MJD has heart, a big bowling ball sized heart.

Not really. He did virtually nothing his whole career with given opps, finally went on a sexy 3 game stretch, and actually got a lot of press for it, too. He'll prob turn into a 1000 yard rusher if he can hold onto the starting job , but he got his fair "rate" when he actually accomplished something for a string of games.

From a samiliar mold, who I actually think is very underrated is Jamaal Charles. His amazing play in the 2nd half of the season barely got any recognition, but this guy is right on the fringe of being a top flight RB and also one of the most dangerous players on the field of any game. Dude is a monster. KC waited WAY too long to let him loose.

 

[SuperKevin]

Portis is done and fighting with the QB. Shanahan has already traded him once before, and is very cautious about spending big money on RB's. I would be surprised to even see him on that roster at the onset of camp. Shanny's back is located somewhere between rounds 4-7 of this year's draft.

Probably right. I'd love to see them give Marcus Mason the chance. He was setting MD HS rushing records at Georgetown Prep when I was in HS
