Did Portis ever do anything after being traded to Washington?
Denver was mostly system. Yes, Davis was real, but it seemed their backs were just plug-and-play. I give the O-line the credit in Denver. |

Who knows how many yards Marcus Allen would have if that jackass Al Davis hadn't benched him for 2 years during the PRIME of his career. What a jackass.
Never mind he spent 2 years blocking for Bo Jackson. Allen could have been monstrous. |

Also why I don't consider TD elite, just really ****ing good (for a 3 or 4 year period). |
Its hard to decide where Bo Jackson should go..

How many are we supposed to vote for? Is it one per team? Top three? I can't vote until I understand the instructions.
|
I'm pretty sure Marcus Allen and LT are the only two first ballot HOF'ers on here.
|
It has to be Tomlinson going away. Others did as much for short periods. Okoye was bruising and I always loved watching Priest Holmes and Terrell Davis. But nobody sustained it like LaDanian Tomlinson. Allen is the only one who could have topped him if he hadn't been benched for 2 years.
Other than that, I PUKE on the jackass that first called LaDanian Tomlinson LT. LT is was and always will be Lawrence Taylor, first and foremost. There is no other LT but Lawrence Taylor. |

Denver - Terrell Davis easy, despite the short career.
KC - I started to pick Priest, but all homer aside, it's hard to ignore 5.9 career yards per career. That's beyond amazing. I went with Charles. Oakland - Marcus Allen. There is no second place. SD - Everyone will vote for Tomlinson, and I can understand that, but the best running back suiting up for San Diego is James Brooks. That guy was amazing and never got the credit he deserved. He had a 4.7 ypc career average, though the majority of his career with with Cincinnati. He was a dangerous running back. |

He was really good with Cincinnati, but if you're saying he's better than Tomlinson you're high. |
Priest was the man. But Jamaal Charles is a better player. And 3 years from now there will be no question.

Lt, then Terrell Davis priest and Allen in no order

Priest, Bo, TD, shit probably everyone on this list had a season or two where they were killer, but LT was solid from 2001 - 2008 (8 years), and he was the best RB in the league from 2003 - 2007 (5 years). |

Buck is right. LT is the class of that group. Then I went with Priest, but if Charles has another productive year he'll overtake him in my mind. TD was an easy choice, and Marcus Allen gets the nod for the Faid.

Luckily for you guys, you have the best current RB by far, and the only current player in the AFC West who has a chance to top LT by the end of it all.

Odd that my favorites probably aren't the best (Bo, Okoye, Means...)

Here's an article about James Brooks and illiteracy. I'm not sure how you can go your whole life in modern America and not be able to read, but I guess it can happen. http://diverseeducation.com/article/10/#

Some of these idiots would take Bo over Emmitt or Marshall Faulk. |

Ricky Williams was a better football player than Bo when he had his head on straight. I was just pointing out that in two years LJ did more than Bo's whole career.
He should be on the list. I take nothing away from Jackson. Wonderful athlete, but he turned out to be a "what coulda been". |

Yeah, Jackson is way overrated. There have been lots of running backs who had a very good year or two. Jackson is just one of that bunch. |

LT and Marcus Allen got my vote. Nobody else.

And I didn't mean Williams should be in the poll, just screwed up typing. Davis and Holmes are my favorites for the poll. They were both crazy to watch. |

Good poll.
The obvious choice here is LT. Priest would be in the discussion if it wasn't for his injury. Terrel Davis had a season or two where he looked absolutely unstoppable, but then again that Denver offensive line's blocking was *ahem*, legally questionable. If I had to take one back, in their prime, for one game, I'd take Priest. The dude was magic. Career ending injuries are a damn shame (I know he came back but he was not the same). Another thing I noticed from this poll, the Chiefs have probably the best collection of running backs in their history out of the teams in the AFC West. If it wasn't for LT, San Diego would have a piss poor selection of RB's. |
I love marcus and all.....but sorry, bo Jackson was a freak.
Is this poll talent, or numbers? cause if it's talent, there's no flippin' contest.....it's Bo....and by a long shot. |

Rice. N f'ing way. Rice was Rice. He would have been the best in football if he caught from Marino or Fouts or Favre, whoever. Rice was head and shoulders above any other WR in work ethic, study, and preparation. He was absolutely fanatical about his physical conditioning. If Randy Moss had 3/4 of Rice's fanaticism, he would have shattered every receiving record known to man. Rice was a once in a lifetime outlier. You could make a better point about Montana being a system QB. If he went to the Bills, would they have 4 Lombardis instead of the 49ers? I just don't know. I'm betting Montana alone wins 2 of those 4 super bowls for Buffalo though. So even Joe was more than JUST a system QB. He had greatness in him. He was exceptional. Of course, he would not have gotten Bill Walsh's QB development in Buffalo, so there is genuine doubt if Montana would have attained his full potential under Levy. I'm going to say "no", that Montana is neither a hall of famer or perennial All Pro if he was not developed and pushed by Bill Walsh. So you have a point there. Nobody pushed Rice but Rice. It was all Poodle. He just kept going and going. |

C'mon chiefs fans....36 votes for that turd Davis? He wouldn't have done anything without that blocking scheme they had.

Montana went to KC and almost took you to a super bowl. I would say he was not just a system QB. System guys fall off a cliff when they leave there team. Montana didn't. He was just fragile.

But he was definitely a great post-season quarterback, and a sure fire winner. |
