    Top 10 Current Running Backs

    Which running backs are, in your opinion, the best in the league currently? Your list should be based on a combination of statistical achievement and overall talent.

    My top 10:
    1.) Adrian Peterson
    2.) Marshawn Lynch
    3.) Arian Foster
    4.) Ray Rice
    5.) LeSean McCoy
    6.) C.J. Spiller
    7.) Alfred Morris
    8.) Jamaal Charles
    9.) Chris Johnson
    10.) Doug Martin
    MJD: #4 when healthy

            You know whats funny?
            2 years ago, anybody could've had Lynch for a mere 4th/5th round pick.
            Heck, in 2010, the Broncos traded a freakin 4th round pick for Laurence Maroney, and a week later the Seahawks nabbed Lynch for a 5th I believe.

                I definitely was not remembering him b/c of the injury.

                  I think people are underrating Alfred Morris. Is it because of his coach? Love the way he runs, and he did average over 100 yards/game this year. Can't believe Washington went away from him in their game this weekend.

                    Nobody had McFadden as a top 10 when he's healthy though?

                      When he proves he can be healthy for a season, he can be in the discussion. Same with DeMarco Murray. Forte barely made my list because of this, but his receiving ability left him in.

                          Personally, as someone who watched almost every Redskin game this year, I find him to be a product of the system they run. He'll have to do it for more than one year for me to believe in him. Would be interesting to see if he's still a workhorse in a more conventional system/without RG3 back there.

                          He's never healthy, and even when he is didn't have the same explosiveness and playmaking ability this year. Whether it was the ZBS or not remains to be seem, but he def didn't show himself to be a top 10 RB this year. Personally I feel as though the injuries have caught up to him and he'll never be the RB he showed he could have been before he got hurt last year.

                            I don't care that I'm a Bucs fan, but I don't know how anyone can honestly say that Morris is a more complete back than Martin is at this point. Morris, while a very good runner, is basically a plodder who is a liability in the passing game. Martin, on the other hand, is so much more dynamic and is from the Ray Rice mold. Hell, the 1,926 yards from scrimmage that Martin had this year are the most by any rookie since Dickerson in 1983. He is a guy you can build an entire offense around IMO.

                            And shame on anyone for leaving MJD out of their lists. Clearly still an elite guy when healthy.
