    Well, do you mean this year, or active?

    This year I would have Dunn ahead of him also. Maybe Thomas Jones and Clinton Portis and Mike Anderson.

    Althought I think he is ahead of Steven Jackson and rudi Johnson.

          If I was choosing a franchise RB, I would consider more than just 2005 stats. I would consider upside as well.
          1. Tomlinson
          2. Alexander
          3. L. Johnson
          4. James
          5. C. Williams
          6. McGahee
          7. J. Jones
          8. S. Jackson
          9. T. Bell
          t10. Portis
          t10. R. Brown (isn't as effective as a featured back)

          T. Jones is injury prone and Portis plays when he feels like it.

                I've seen hints of this also, but I think alot of that may have to do with the personel in front of him!

                  Right now, I would not rank him in the top 10. Perhaps in the 12-15 range. I do think he has a chance to be one of the best, but he needs to extract his head from his butt, shut his mouth, and play hard all of the time.
                  Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                      I have him ranked in the top ten. I like his confidence, but if he honestly thinks he is the best in the NFL he is out of his freakin mind. I would much rather have LT on this team. He definately needs to shut his trap in the future.

                        I don't rank running backs...it's all in the line.

                        Emmitt Smith wasn't even one of the 10 best backs ever...he just played behind possibly the best OL ever.

                          We have the worst o-line in the NFL and people want to rank our RB? IMO Willis and JP are in about the worst situation a young QB and RB can be in. Anyone who rips Willis for having no holes, coming out on 3rd downs, never getting any swing/screen passes should be banned from this board for life for incompetence.

                            B. Jacobs RB, NY

                            have all scored more TDs than him this year, and after all isnt that all that matters?

                            so he is the 23rd best back in the League.
