[Tide High]

question marks in parenthesis

AP (none)
Bell (knee and susp.)
Charles (workload - but did so much with only 200 or so carries last year)
Lynch (age and new contract - how much guaranteed?)
Lacy

honorable mentions: Foster, Hill


post yours?

 

[Tide High]

I want to put hill and lacy in for lynch and foster... convince me

Don't know what the consensus will be, but I'd feel more comfortable with Lacey over Foster.

Like Lacey more than every guy you listed.

 

[Tide High]

moved lacy in based on an article I just read.... last year : Exactly one-half of all RB1 finishers came from good NFL offenses. That's 33% yielding 50% of the RB1 results.

a "good offense" was defined as top 1/3 of offenses by yardage

 

[Tide High]

foster should have 50+ more carries than lacy this year though he won't have near as many TD opps. I think Foster is a better overall back and is still in his prime BUT that offense is one of the worst in the NFL and GB is the best (top 5 at worst) and that is obviously huge. stat above proves it

 

[Tide High]

I should quit right now considering I spelled lacy wrong and i'm a bammer. funny how y'all all did too because you trusted me. lol.

 

[STEED]

I hate Bama that's why I did

I wouldn't say Peterson has no question marks. He came back strong from the ACL, but I question how he will look with a full year off with no game contact.

 

[Tide High]

Thanks gurv. Good input.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

I think I'm on board with the consensus top 5 that you list above. I'm not sure of the order yet.

I think Trent Richardson should be mentioned. Maybe #6 looking in.........
