Too bad you aren't in the business of making great College RBs.


AU has had 4 straight 1,000 yard rushers. They're doing alright.

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


I think TR and EL will both be fairly successful in the NFL, I just don't think MI will ever "break out" per say.

Steven Ridley is playing well
Rudi Johnson had multiple 1000 seasons
Cadillac Williams 2005 NFL ROY
Ben Tate ran for 997 yds as a backup in 2011
Arian Foster seems to be doing well
Knowshon will have a career year this season...

Lets just say Bama RBs suck in the NFL...

Worded it wrong; should have said 4 straight years with a 1,000 yard rusher; plus I didn't reference Cam under RB.

Sadly I agree. I just havent seen a bit of improvement since he has been in the League. But who knows, maybe getting out of New Orleans would be best for both Mark and the Saints.

Jamal Lewis had a good career (rushed for over 2000 one year).

NE cut UFs star RB last month. What gives?



Who are you talking about? Jeff Demps was traded to the Bucs and hasn't been cut by anybody.

DMac has been 1st on depth since day one. He can't stay healthy but I don't consider it struggling.

This board is filled by idiots.

But don't get me started on saints fans. If hell had a toilet, they'd be the scum you brush off every Sunday.

Shaun Alexander was an MVP and owns several Seattle Seahawks records. Joseph Addai and Kevin Faulk had decent NFL careers. Terrel Davis from Georgia. Emmitt Smith from Florida. Not EVERY running back that comes out is going to be an NFL super star. In reality, there are really only a couple of great running backs in the NFL every year, the rest are just serviceable for the most part.

Let me see if Trent can get it going in Indy and I'll get back to ya. But other than that possibility you are correct sir.

I think he will. It'll be a better situation for him, that's for sure.
