I don't know why I keep wasting my time but I will do it again:

Felix Jones > Ronnie Brown, Moreno, etc....and it's not close.

Felix Jones at 7.2 yards per carry, 3,000 rushing yards, and 5,100 APY is no lower than the 3rd best back of the previous 10 years.

And like I said above, his 7.2 yards per carry is a FULL YARD ahead of #1 Bo Jackson in the YPC category. But Felix is 14 yards shy of the 400 carry minimum, therefore not on the list and often left out of discussion. Hell, even he were stopped at the line of scrimmage for 14 more carries he would surpass Bo by half a yard per carry.

I'm not sure where the Ronnie Brown lovefest comes from.

Statistically he isn't in the Top 3, or even Top 5, the past 10 years.

Hell, Cedric Cobbs put up more rushing yards and APY than Brown.

Until someone can provide statistical evidence otherwise:

1-McFadden
2-Williams
3-Jones

then on down the line, where ever you decide to put Brown, make sure Cobbs is at least one slot ahead of him seeing as how his numbers are greater.
