POLL WHO is the best RB currently

[Manster7588]

They'd better or they might lose 89% of their players to suspension.

The NFL will most likely keep it banned unless all states with NFL franchises make it legal.
Right now if I'm the Chief of police in Dallas I would have drug dogs at the airport every time a team with state legal marijuana comes through.

But Freeman is the most overrated IMO.

Injury prone, runs hard, but not a bruiser, and I have less confidence in him on 3rd and 1 than I do any other RB in the league.

I wish the Falcons would have let him walk.

Personally I like Coleman more so I'm with you on letting him walk even though I think he's a top 10-12 back

The second they announced his contract, I knew it was a mistake. Better enjoy COleman, cause he gone after this season,

Sounds like the asshole thing to do.

Glad you're not.

I'm a fan of the Cowboys and if it helped the Cowhoys win you bet your ass I'd be arresting opposing players

If all I had was the numbers, I think it would be Bell without hesitation. But watching him play, I always have these same 2 takeaways: 1) absolutely zero top end speed, and 2) that hang-around-behind-the-line-and-wait-for-a-hole style wouldn't work on too many teams...would get killed doing that in Seattle, as an example. Not saying he isn't a fantastic player, but I have a tough time getting over those 2 things and saying he's the best.

I would probably go Gurley.

So because he has vision u downgrade him?? Also he does have breakaway speed u must not watch

No, I don't think that's really what I said. Maybe re-read.

This is just fictional nonsense from a homer.

NO,you need to watch more than highlights or a game here and there

He must be one of those players who gets faster the more you watch him.

hes patient and can certainly outrun players once the play develops, yes, hes not a burner, but hes not slow

 

[PDay8810]

All of these guys are very good and arguments can be created for most all of them.

amen to this.
When healthy, Johnson is hard to beat. If Dallas involved Elliott more in the pass game, he'd be right up there. Bell is special but brittle, thus I'd rate him 3rd. Flip a coin on the others as we sit here today

I am agreeing he is a fantastic player, worthy of being in this discussion. He just isn't very fast. Didn't crack 4.6 at the combine. He does have enough speed to make plays, which is the most important thing, but he does not have breakaway speed, and for that it is tough for me to call him the clear cut best in the NFL. There are probably not 5 starting RBs in the NFL slower than him, but also not 5 who are better.

I had Freeman on my fantasy team with Coleman as a back up........I was so disappointed in Freeman there were times I had often thought about starting Coleman over him.........I was really disappoint Freeman`s performances last season.

I don`t think he should have been put on the list myself...............

Concussion issues played a part but it's tough for any guy to be elite if he can't even be the full time guy on his own team . U think he's got the potential but he's really only had 1 great season

Wouldn't hurt if he learned to pass block either.

bump due to closeness
