i can see maybe why you put lynch in there but spiller? no

a real top 5 based off talent would be more along the lines of
Peterson
JC
McCoy
Rice
MJD


This seems like a true top 5, though I'd flip flop Rice and McCoy, probably because I'm a homer :lol:

Totally missed that Foster wasn't in that list, fail.

My top 5 would be:

AP
Foster
Rice
JC
MJD

Then, McCoy, Lynch, Sjax etc..

only downside to rice is his size, he's not going to make his own path but if he finds one he's golden

His size is a downside, but he does work with it.

He uses it as an advantage when he practically crawls on all fours to stay up.

And 1 on 1 he can pretty much stiff arm anyone onto their face.

It's crazy lol, on that 4th and 29 play he had some amazing stuff.

When he cut left to avoid the first 4 players he was at a 45 degree angle.

And right at the end after Boldins crushing block, he did the all fours scamper for the last 2-3 yards.

Nah, foster is very good but if we are going off of ability and not production is have to put him at 6.

He has the benefit of playing in a very balanced offense that may make him look better then the weaker team RB, but I'll give MJD JC and McCoy all the edge over him talentwise, he is 6th for sure though

Nah, Foster consistently puts up 1600+ yard seasons, he has to be #2, would be #1 if AP didn't come back the way he did.

Just check his last 3 years, guy is unreal talent.

2010 - 2200 total yards 18tds
2011 - 1800 total yards 12tds (13games)
2010 - 1650 total yards 17tds

No running back has had a better 3 year stretch that's active right now.
