No mention of Arian Foster in this thread? Tate isn't the best SEC RB in his own backfield.

And so did the Browns, TR did pretty well there. Ingram is a fricking bust, he's just not that good. It's nothing personal.

How long do players get before they are labeled bust?

I dunno. Just a personal opinion. Ingram never impressed me. TR and Lacey on the other hand did.

If you don't recall, Tate made that statement in 2009. So AU fans are bringing it up based on performance in the NFL. Just a little jab more than anything.

I'm excited about TR and EL in the NFL. Ingram needs to step it up

Doesn't the SEC have more RB's in the NFL then any other conference?

I think it just seems that many fail, because so many are overrated. For instance, Alabama has had some very good RB's, but they've been running behind great lines. Many of the better RB's don't have that luxury and often go unnoticed.

This thread has fizzled almost as badly as your thread on the Saints Talk about an assumed Bucs victory. Two fail threads of this magnitude in a week is just too much.

From most of the guys listed here it sounds like you guys are making great NFL RBs. Too bad you aren't in the business of making great College RBs.

Charles is 25. Doubt they're even in the same division when Charles hangs it up.

Most NFL teams make very little effort to run the ball.

It became a sissy league a long time ago , 35 to 55 passes a game on a regular basis.
