Mason has also been a work horse and managed to stay healthy with tons of carries.. Most of them between the tackles.
Gurley has the most talent. But if he cant stay healthy, it may hurt his career..

You seem to think that your silly list merits a debate.

I'll post something of substance when you do.
Until you are ready to shift out of troll mode, I'll move on.

Actually it is a list. Nobody seems to have much problem with it but you. If you WANT to debate, then you have to make a logical argument. If you don't want to debate, then why post?

I THINK Gurley's injury was a fluke thing. High ankle sprain. Could happen to anybody, and he stayed healthy all last year. BUT, it has to be a concern, no doubt. Mason got the job done for you guys. He's a good back and I have no problem with his ranking on the list.

How about the second highest YPC(6.2), the longest run from the line scrimmage(86 yards), highest touchdown per carry ratio(1 touchdown per every 12 touches)
Plus, what people who actually watch football games use. The eye test.

quote:He is 12th in ypc and behind Hill and Gurley. He is 14th among RBs in yards per play from scrimmage and behind all on the list except Mason. His slightly higher ypc/ypp over some on the list doesn't make up for approximately 40 yards less per game.

Kudos though for actually offering a substantive response.

Ok. How about an argument for Josey over any of the 5 on the list that is based on objective criteria as opposed to your subjective opinion?
Oh yeah, well, who has the most rushing yards above the 38th parallel? HUh? HUH?

Also, if your argument is going to focus on a single, cherry picked stat while ignoring any and all other objective data, don't bother.
Oh, NM

It's Monday morning, time for a few people to put the bottle down and take a shower.

Ok dude, you totally lost me. Please take Sam's advice and come back later to post sober.
