    Willis leading the NFL in Rushing

    Three games into the season.. All against tough divisional foes who know him well.

    And Willis McGahee is leading the entire NFL in rushing. Not the team.. Not the AFC.. the entire NFL.

    Is that good enough to shut some of the Willis haters in here up?

    The guy has come to play this year.. and thats that. Its time to give credit where its due.

    He should have picked up that block...and it's not the first time I have seen him slack when he wasn't getting the ball. I'm not a Willis hater but leading in rushing is not being a complete back.

      I'm not saying he's a complete back.. I also dont think he's peaked. He is STILL a young player learning.

      He's been far from perfect.. He also missed a block in the Miami game that almost got JP killed.

      MY point is he's playing hard, and he's getting results.. and for some Willis haters on this board, there is no pleasing them. He's faster than last year, he runs harder than last year, and he's a better back out the backfield than last year..

        I agree the Willis hate is not warranted. It's not just he's playing hard...he obviously worked very hard in the offseason to be ready this year. The guy has work ethic. What he's going to be remains to be seen though. Let's not forget there are only few backs who can take the punishment and really punish a defense for more than three or four seasons...and those backs play behind powerfull lines.

          Willis wouldn't be leading if Larry Johnson, and L T weren't on a bye this week.

            The mere fact your mentioning him alongside LJ and LT is testament in itself.

              When Willis picks up the tough yards and clutch plays on third and fourth down I'll anoint him. I haven't seen it yet.

                Maybe when our coaches stop calling JP rollouts on 3rd and 1 in the red zone and give him the ball you'll agree.

                I'm not annointing him anything.. I simply said he's leading the league in rushing, he's running hard and there are plenty of teams in this league who wished they had him right now.

                You guys will defend JP to the end of the earth, and you'll jump on Willis the first time he does something that isnt Elite back worthy.

                Hypocritical.

                    I just went over my words again, and at no point do I recall saying he's the best RB in the NFL.

                    I mentioned a FACT and the FACT is he's currently leading the NFL in rushing.

                        Congrats to the O-line for being the unit that fronts the leading rusher in the NFL after three weeks of the 2006 season.

                          I think he'll get in this week.

                            No, not hypocritical at all. JP never anointed himself the best QB in the NFL. If you want to be the best back you need to block, you need to catch, and you need to run hard. He is currently doing all but blocking, that is a huge component.
