Tannehill, Arian Foster, and Devante Parker have the potential to be one of the better triplets. Parker is the deep big-play guy.
What was our excuse with the 90 yr old Deangelo from Pitt, think he had like 130 also

I feel like in today's NFL, the best triplet combination is QB, pass rusher and lockdown CB.
You don't know what you're talking about. 2013 he was an undrafted rookie behind Moreno, Ball (a second round pick), and Hillman. He wasn't even expected to make the team but he had such a great camp and preseason that he did.
2014 he was the number 3 back behind Ball and Hillman but due to their injuries and ineffectiveness he ascended to the top spot week 10 against Oakland and was the number one back the second half of the season.
2015 he entered camp as the number one guy but got hurt in the first preseason game. He tried to play through it but it clearly hurt him as he wasn't nearly as effective as he had been. So the Broncos gave more carries to Hillman and then began splitting the carries between them. They would use Hillman early in games, then as the defense wore down they'd hit them Anderson. They basically did that all the way up to the Super Bowl, when Anderson got the start and the vast majority of the carries.
Despite all of that, he finished 24th in total yards rushing and had a higher ypc than Peterson, Bell, Miller, McFadden, and Ingram, among many others. And after the bye week (when he was finally healthy), he averaged 6.35 ypc.
Now I know 24th isn't great, but I'm not arguing that he's a top 5 or even top 10, but there are definitely not 28 week 1 starters in the NFL that are better than him.
He looked so good to end the 2013 season, too. I thought he would have a huge year in 2014.Saw this in todays Madison paper and as a Badger fan have to say the expectations of Ball and what he turned out to be were a huge disappointment

U know cj Anderson lost his job to Ronnie Hillman last year right?
those darn jnjuries....... that qb who was supposed to break out but couldnt in a passibf offense, and the wr who could be.....Well, one is a recent league leading rusher, the other was an injured 1st round rookie who still averaged 19 yd per catch, and Tannehill is has been a breakout candidate for the past couple years with now a good head coach. And the OL looks to be a bit better.
It's really not that hard to comprehend.

The thing about rankings like this is it's tough to account for value placed on a certain position. QBs are so much more important than either RBs or WRs that Rodgers + 2 random guys is way better to have than most of the other triplet combos you could make with QBs who aren't top 10 type starters. I would rather have Aaron Rodgers and the worst RB and worst WR in the league than those 3 guys from Miami.Tannehill, Arian Foster, and Devante Parker have the potential to be one of the better triplets.

right. i feel pretty good about roeth, bell, ABStarted to agree with you but just couldn't do so with this.

no clue how they arent #1 as a trio
you can call me a homer, but its hard to argue
Why not? You could just immediately cut the RB & WR. You're telling me if you owned Tannehill, Foster & Parker you wouldn't trade them for Aaron Rodgers?Started to agree with you but just couldn't do so with this.
