I found this list to be quite hard to determine. There were like 3-4 who had breakthrough seasons last year or came in as freshman and shined under-the-radar. Will they be 1 hit wonders or will they be consistent. I took it as they will be consistent.
Players like AP, Foster, and Lynch have been the most consistent, and you want Jackson to be with them.
McCoy was part of a terrible system which is now changed, but the system worked for him the previous year. He was the best RB in the NFL 2 years ago.
Jamal Charles was one of the NFLs top backs on the worst team in the NFL, and they just got a good QB.
Same can be said about CJ Spiller, except the QB part.
Alfred Morris was in RG3's shadow very well. I didn't know Washington had a QB until week 14.
Frank Gore has been consistent his whole career, and now he has an amazing OL in front of him.
Chris Johnson is consistent when healthy.
Stevan Ridley - Can you guess what team he played for??? Yeah I didn't know either. He had amazing stats for the Patriots. Break-through season.
You can say crap like that with a dozen more RBs. Should Jackson be seriously considered? Yes. I did consider him. I looked up the same stats, and you can look at the link I posted on my top 10. I didn't rank after 10, although Johnson would have been 11. After that, I just stopped doing the list. Just looked over their stats. I feel all those players can finish top 10.
Jerms Jackson IS with them ( except for AP). Steven Jackson has rushed for over 10K yards in his career all while NEVER playing on a single playoff team OR with a guy that could even remotely be considered an elite QB OR having anything close to a #1 WR. Now he has an elite QB, 2 #1 WR's and the greatest TE in NFL history to take the heat off of him. I wouldnt be surprised if SJ leads the league in rushing this year IF Atlanta decides to run the ball more, which history says they will since ( up til last year) Atlanta has been a run first team under Smith.
