The Big 3 are in the league now and ready to go.
Lacy will be playing for the Green Bay Packers and will be in the same division as Adrian Peterson, Reggie Bush, and Matt Forte. He is likely to share carries with Franklin, another rookie tailback out of UCLA. He has the benefit of playing alongside the NFL's best QB.
Ingram will be entering his third year, and it looks like we'll finally be using him right with CSP back and Mark healthy. He is likely to share carries with Pierre Thomas, and Sproles will still be the third down back, but will get carries too.
Trent is the top dog in Cleveland and should finally be healthy. Cleveland didn't really do much to help their problem at Guard, but they picked up UDFA Chris Faulk, who, had he not been injured, could have had first round potential at Tackle. The passing game is bound to be improved, so look out. However Trent does play the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals twice a year, though they may not be as strong defensively as they once were.
Most carries : This one is easy, Trent is the only guy not expected to share carries, so he'll obviously have the most.
Most yards : Again, Trent being the only guy not sharing carries gives him an advantage here.
Most TDs : I wanna say Trent, but to be different I'm gonna say Lacy rushes for 11 on the ground, but Richardson will have the most total, 10 on the ground, 2 in the passing game.
Rank the YPC :
Trent - 4.5
Lacy - 4.3
Ingram - 4.2
To me it looks like Trent is poised to have the best year, but he's the only one not sharing touches. That doesn't really mean he'll be the most effective though, so I suppose a better question is who will be the most effective?
I'll again have to say Trent. Lacy has Rodgers, Ingram has Brees. Trent has...Weeden.

I'll be unpopular here and say Franklin is better than Lacy. I watched a lot of UCLA this year(I'm up late and watch a lot of Pac-12) and Franklin is really good. Plus, the Packers are going to pass.

Easily Trent out of the 3 he will be the only one to get majority of the carries on his team.

I know nothing about NFL teams, so I'm basing this on the fact that Lacy crushed the other two at Bama on YPC. He did this playing behind basically the same OL and against the same competition.

Trent
I think with Cud and Norv, he should have a great season running the ball. I see 1200yds easy

Agreed Nic Franklin is a beast I think Tampa was gonna draft him and the Pack traded up right in front of Tampa
and snatched him up, he's a very versatile RB with hella speed and he and Lacy are PERFECT compliments of each other, but them having both guys will help Lacy stay fresh
The terrible thing about Trent is the OL is a work in progress still in Cleveland (and they drafted a bunch of defensive guys
) and the division they are in doesn't lend any favors either.
Lacy will have an opportunity to start for GB and I really think he'll do well. So I'm gonna go with Lacy

I don't know, I'm just hoping that at least 1 has a break-out pro bowl type season

according to Charles Davis of espn, the biggest Lacy hater on this planet, He will be Franklin's backup.

Since Ingram is in the game about 30% of the time, and 90% of those plays are runs to him, I'd say he'll never have a very good season with the Saints. When he's in the game they pretty much know it's going to him.
I love my Saints, but the ways they use Ingram is retarded.
