umm Clinton Portis fan...is he really better than Marion Barber.Clinton avg 3.9 yards per carry which is terrible, he went the Eddie George route to get 1000 yards.Marion Barber avg 4.8 yards a carry and was 25 yards from 1000, the numbers clearly show who is better. Clinton did get screwed though, he should have the elusive weapon but i think they stripped him from that. Brandon Jacobs i believe does deserve an higher ovr rating but i agree with his attributes except for trucking, that should be 99 without a doubt. And Barber's trucking should be around 92-95 not a damn 99 lol. Maybe Jacobs is isnt in the 90s because he has little speed and he cant catch out the back field at all, he dropped passes all season.(not an complete back) I do think EA screwed Barber on the elusive rating(85) I believe it should be in the mid 90s. He led the league in broken tackles, he didnt just run over everyone, he eluded people too! I dont know how that would effect his ovr but it wouldnt change it much. Michael Turner I believe is over rated and Lendale White is underrated. lol Troy Hambrick(the fat RB after Emmitt left Dallas) was an 85. Lendale should be around that as well. They are similar, they both are fat and over achieved by rushing for 1000 yrds. Michael Turner is solid, in comparison to Brandon Jacobs he is more of a complete back but is less effective running and he is a decent kick-off return man, I think he warrants a 85 rating. I dont know about him having that truck stick though EA. Cedric Benson is a bum ummm he should be the lowest rated RB in the game in my opinion, it doesnt get worse than him. He rushes for low averages and he fumbles a lot! Ryan Grant is a tough case. We have seen Marion Barber for 2 years as a back up and he has produced greatly. Ryan has done similar things such as make the best out of limited carries just like Marion. However, his number are a product of the system. He is a very good running back but he doesnt break many tackles but does have top notch speed, does have great vision. I would give him a 97 speed 93 agility elusiveness 89 and truck 86. He reminds me of Robert Smith, the former great Vikings running back. He will rush for high avg long as there is a pass threat but he cannot beat up and fight for yardage with 7 and 8 men in the box. Ryan Grant deserves an high 80s to a 90 rating. He is definitely better than Michael Turner and LeDale White. Ricky Williams didnt get hosed, he hasnt played nfl football in 2 years and two years ago he didnt even have his legs under him yet. He wasnt nowhere back to the pro bowler we know. However, he should at least be an 81 because anyone is better than Cedric Benson.
