[WizardHawk]

it's the players that vote for it so it's nothing more than a reflection of their popularity among themselves.

I'll start....Forte at 91!? Pffft! Gimme a break. Which backs are ahead of him?

Jamaal Charles and AP to start.

 

[fordman84]

So far I see nothing wrong with the 90's.

 

[beardown07]

so two backs?


I'd take Forte over either of em....more complete back.

 

[cdumler7]

I would put AP, McCoy, Charles, and Lynch ahead of him at this point.

2013 Data


Jamaal Y/A : 5.0
Forte: 4.3


Jamaal Y/R: 9.9
Forte: 8.0


Total yards-


Jamaal: 1980
Forte: 1933


Yeah, you're barking up the wrong tree here before we even talk about AP and others.

 

[beardown07]

Both are more exciting and explosive, but Forte is a better blocker and receiver than both, and comparable or competitive in yards. Yards from scrimmage, Forte's usually right there.

I dunno...AP has to come the field on 3rd downs.


I think Forte is the most complete back in the NFL.

B4ring out the homer chants..I know.

Dude, I'm a Dallas fan and can admit McCoy is the most complete back.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Louis Vasquez is a good player, but the only Bronco to crack the list? LOL

 

[fordman84]

Also, REALLY hoping they put DeMarco ahead of Forte. The meltdown will be fun to watch

Can anyone else see anything above #91? I have a feeling higher on the list will be MANY more broncos.

I think you are right. Personally, I hate the way the "list" is organized. Not sure why they can't just make a conventional list of the 100 players that is sortable by position and team.

A) A .7 difference in YPC is fairly significant when we are talking RB's. Also, there was nearly a two yard gap this year between Jamaal Charles and Matt Forte when it comes to yards per reception, as RB's. As for blocking, not going to say Jamaal is great at it, but I don't particularly think he is terrible either:

 

[beardown07]

OK, so McCoy..Charles...Lynch...I guess they'll be somewhere in the 80's then? Lol. Forte is a top 5 back listed in the 90's.


Talk about a dying breed.

Not much love for RB's these days.

 

[JDM]

I like Forte but Better than AD or Charles is just ludicrous. I'd take a case for 3.


IMO AD goes top 10 and at most 5 RB including Forte should be on the list. There's no difference makers after 5.

To me the idea of such a list is pretty flawed. Kind of hard to compare centers to running backs, for example. I imagine that Forte will rate about fourth or fifth among RBs on the complete list.
