I'm a Panthers fan

Personally I think Stewart and Williams are good enough to be in the top ten but since they split carries they don't really receive national recognition or gaudy statistics. But if you look at their stats (avg ypc, etc.) they're as good/better than HB's on that list.

No biggie, I try to keep my inner homer in check

. But when I see Cam's DAC at 75 and RGIII at 88, then I make some noise considering Cam had about an 85 at the end of M12 iirc, so why a 10 point drop...

Cam was a 77 ovr rookie as the number one overall pick, then went on to re-write record books and RGIII and Luck come out with better stats...I just don't get it.

When you get hurt and only make it through half the season, you have to base it off of recent years as well.

Just because he had a good start to the season before getting injured doesn't mean they should make him an elite back for this year.

Two words...

Darren Sproles, just saying.

# 25 angels eclipse7 @ 08/06/12 01:07 PM

I would have it:

Maurice Jones-Drew 93
Arian Foster 93
Adrian Peterson 92
Ray Rice 91
Matt Forte 89
Frank Gore 88
Jamal Charles 88
Lesean McCoy 88
Stephen Jackson 87
Michael Turner 85

Overall way to high. Wondering how AP's rating will adjust coming off that knee injury.

I'd say both. When you start jumping guys to elite status based on one potentially good season then the ratings become even more messed up.

# 28 gator3guy @ 08/06/12 01:14 PM

Some people didn't watch too many Eagles games last year (understandably).

Well no. they are actually the same rating at 88 so basically equals. Gore has always been a beast and Charles was the second best back in the league before his injury.

and I put your boy McCoy above my boy, Michael Turner (im a falcons fan) who lead the NFC in rushing last year.

Of course they have. They kid is an absolute beast. I won't dare deny that. And he's only going to get better while guys like Jackson and Turner and Gore will likely only get worse.

The reason I have Gore and McCoy at the same rating is while yes, McCoy put up better numbers than Gore, Gore controlling the ground game in San Francisco was a huge reason for the 49ers success last year. On the other hand, McCoy's incredible success last year didn't exactly translate to wins.

In other words when I do ratings, I always give teams that won a lot last year the benefit of the doubt while I don't give teams that didn't win the benefit of the doubt. But if the Eagles win the division this year (which I predict they will), McCoy will probably be a 95ish.

And yet MJD is #1.

Call me a homer all you want, Shady is ELITE at this point in time.

Is 95 OVR not Elite? I'd say they did him enough justice.

Forte is a more complete back so it would make sense that he ends up being rated higher then Mccoy.

you right i think it should be based on coming off last year performance since the game comes out every year. its too many runningbacks in the 90's and too close togetther, like a poster said above i hope they make the backs feel different from the other when you play with them. i think physics could play a big part in making the backs feel different. Hope so!!

No it is.

It was in reply to the poster who suggested McCoy at 88 with the likes of Gore, Turner, and below Forte.

hope demo be out next week

What can Shady do that Forte can't? They're very similar. I think Forte is a better receiver than Shady though (although they might be the #2 and #3 in the league behind Sproles in that regard).

If I remember right, Forte made up like 60-70% of his team's offense when he was healthy last year. He and Fred Jackson both completely carried their respective teams until they got hurt.

# 38 NikeBlitz @ 08/06/12 01:58 PM

Way too high. Most of them are still young and will progress in Connected Career ... and teams will be filled with high rated players.

LeSean McCoy had a great season, but it was his first one like that, Forte's been consistently good since 2008 at a high level. Therefore he'd get the nod in MY book even if it is just ONE POINT.

He's also been 80% of the bears offense the last 2 seasons

Why shouldn't the best elite backs be rated highly again I'll make the case that there is over 100 backs on NFL teams and yet people will still say MJD is too high then you will try to argue that all backs feel the same after arguing that last years ratings meant nothing so if they all feel the same according to people why does it matter that they are rated 97,96 which for over 100 players in the league at this position I still don't believe it to be bad that 10 of them are 90's
