Whose the best RB

[PDay8810]

opinions vary greatly

LOL at not really close.
Shock value opinions remains your best tool

Not much skin in this game, but I would take Elliott over Bell. Bell doesn't have the same top gear, and I think Elliott runs with more power. Bell is really good, but every time I watch him I can't not think how he would get smashed behind Seattle's line when he stands around looking for a hole. He would have to completely change that part of his game on a lesser line than what he has now.

Though Elliot has played behind a very good Cowboys O-line... Steelers Oline not as good as Cowboys so he has that. It's too tough of a call imo between those twos

You homers make me sick.

True not into seeing guys kiss but an ape and AR that's sexy, I was gonna vote Woodhead but people would think I am a homer because he used to be on Pats

How long do I have to wear this thing anyway?

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Le'Veon and DJ are a tie. If's its anyway to separate the two, then it's DJ because he has more offensive responsibilities.

I had DJ in Fantasy Football last year. Dude is a PPR God. Even in half point.

This way the asians don't feel left out , nice Hlack and yellow black and yellow uh ha

It's Bell or Johnson and it's not really close. Now the difference between the top 2 is negligible but I'll go Bell

Im from Philly and was raised to hate Dallas... but Zeke has to be on that list. Freaking guy might be the best out of everyone. Penalizing him for running behind an excellent OLine is like penalizing Joe Montana for having Jerry Rice.

It has nothing to do with his linew. Elliot is great, I simply don't think he's as multidimensional as Bell or Johnson and he needs to do it more than 1 year. That's why I go Bell over Johnson, longer time doing it

Fair argument.

Johnson. Elliott. Bell. In that order, as of today. Give me Elliott for the future.

David Johnson is a great player. An all around workhorse. I don't think he is quite the RB the other two are, but his line isn't quite as good as the other two, either. IMO he is the best receiver of the three in question. No injury concerns, and seems like a good guy. He's already 25 - the oldest of the three. Entering 3rd season.

Elliott is a no-nonsense down hill runner, and while not as flashy as the other two, he was the most effective rusher of the three last year. Only a rookie last year - that seems lost on people. Break away speed, a true home run hitter at RB. Tremendous blocker. Has room to grow in the passing game. No injury concerns. Slight character concerns, but nothing alarming - needs to grow up quick as far as the immature stuff (e.g. St. Patty's). Only 21 years old. Entering 2nd season.

Bell is awesome, but I think people get too caught up in the style. Can absolutely take over a game, maybe better than any of the other two. But the injuries and suspensions, Bell misses a few too many games for my liking. He has a few more negatives than the other guys. For all the talk of his receiving skills, Bell has the lowest yards per catch of the three. Also 25 years old. Entering 3rd season.

All three of these guys are excellent players, and honestly, one choice is probably as good as the next. That's my reasoning above, and below is what they each did last year...

Rush Attempts: 1. Elliott--322 2. Johnson--293 3. Bell--261
Rush Yards: 1. Elliott--1631 2. Bell--1268 3. Johnson--1239
Yards per Attempt: 1. Elliott--5.1 2. Bell--4.9 3. Johnson--4.2
Rush Yards per Game: 1. Elliott--108.7 2. Bell--105.7 3. Johnson--77.4
Attempts per Game: 1. Bell--21.8 2. Elliott--21.5 3. Johnson--18.3
Rush TD: 1. Johnson--16 2. Elliott--15 3. Bell--7

Targets: 1. Johnson--120 2. Bell--94 3. Elliott--39
Receptions: 1. Johnson--80 2. Bell--75 3. Elliott--32
Catch Percentage: 1. Elliott--82.1% 2. Bell--79.8% 3. Johnson--66.7%
Receiving Yards: 1. Johnson--879 2. Bell--616 3. Elliott--363
Yards per Reception: 1. Elliott--11.3 2. Johnson--11.0 3. Bell--8.2
Receiving Yards per Game: 1. Johnson--54.9 2. Bell--51.3 3. Elliott--24.2
Receptions per Game: 1. Bell--6.3 2. Johnson--5.0 3. Elliott--2.1
Receiving TD: 1. Johnson--4 2. Bell--2 3. Elliott--1

Total Touches: 1. Johnson--373 2. Bell--357 3. Elliott--354
Scrimmage Yards: 1. Johnson--2118 2. Elliott--1994 3. Bell--1884
Total TD: 1. Johnson--20 2. Elliott--16 3. Bell--9
Fumbles: 1. Bell-4 2-tie. Johnson--5, Elliott--5

Yards per Touch: 1. Johnson--5.68 2. Elliott--5.63 3. Bell--5.28
TD per Touch: 1. Johnson--.054 2. Elliott--.045 3. Bell--.025
Fumbles per Touch: 1. Bell--.011 2. Johnson--.013 3. Elliott--.014

If 3 points are given for a 1st place ranking, 2 points for 2nd, and 1 point for 3rd, the point totals look like this...

1. Johnson--48 (11x1st, 5x2nd, 5x3rd)
2. Elliott--40 (6x1st, 7x2nd, 8x3rd)
3. Bell--39 (4x1st, 10x2nd, 7x3rd)

If Jordan Howard repeats his performance, he deserves to be in consideration. Not convinced about Howard just yet.

 

[Scapegoat]

wasn't all that funny
hell, I'm not sold he'll be the best OU back in this draft.
opinions vary but I can't pull for anyone taking that kinda aggression out on a women. 18 years old isn't an excuse

I don't remember saying I'm "pulling for him".

 

[Shanemansj13]

I would say Zeke potentially but right now I have to go Leveon.

 

[PDay8810]

I don't remember saying I'm "pulling for him".

I didn't say you did....I said I couldn't

all you said was he was the best back in football then retracted it by saying it was a joke.

Frankly, I haven't a clue what your purpose is here in this thread, but here you are again.

Giving you a clue was not the purpose of my post.

 

[jarntt]

The only thing making this a discussion is the fact that Bell has had a lot of off the field issues that have earned him suspensions. If he plays all 16 games it's easily him.

Even with those issues there is no discussion
