I really have no idea. If I really had to pick I'd say Foster or McCoy. Who is it?

If I could pick any RB, I would pick AP and then D-Mac.

McFadden and Peterson then everybody else

i like ray rice, very versatile. foster too, if he is really healthy (looked pretty healthy to me). i like the guys who are receiving threats out of the backfield. that helps in so many different ways, forcing a defense to have to focus on that.

They are possibly the two best but the above statement is false.

it's not really an RB league anymore.

It hasn't been for a decade but there's usually 1-2 guys that stand above the rest. I think there's about 5-6 guys right now that can stake a claim at the title of "best".

Forte, duh.

I'm tempted to say McFadden but I don't have a strong opinion. As muddled as I can remember.

I don't think it's McFadden. Hasn't looked like a gamechanger at all today.

Are there any game changers?

AP, by pretty much any definition is. This is the first full Raiders game I've watched and McFadden did not stand out at all.

MoJo Drew is also.

I seem to remember someone saying AP isn't a special back a couple of years ago, but they probably don't post here anymore.

As far as a straight runner, AP is one of the greatest RB's in NFL history. The power and speed with which he runs is awesome.

AP is still far and away the best RB in the league imo. He's the biggest game changers at any position in the league who opposing defenses strategies revolve around stopping him

I feel like I have a better handle on this now. I'm pretty certain the top 3, in order, are Peterson, Foster, Jones-Drew. I think Forte/McCoy/McFadden are 4/5/6 in some order.

I think Forte has been the best this year. That being said I don't think he's a top 5 RB.

_________________

It almost doesnt matter how many passes he catches, he has not been better than AP this year. It's not particularly close either. This reminds me of you trying to compare LT to AP during Peterson's rookie year.

There is more to playing running back than just running the ball. Also McDaniels showed how silly calling someone great or the best after 6 games can be. Forte only has more rushing yards and far more receiving yards. Forte can also pass block. He's clearly beem the best RB.

_________________

Peterson has not been the best RB this year and he wasn't the best back last year either. This year I would either say Arian Foster or Matt Forte. Like Hova said there is alot more to being the best RB in the league than just running.

_________________

Other than having 7 more touchdowns he doesn't lead in any other category. It may surprise you FF but someone can have a better season and still not be the better player.

That puts Kuhn on the same level as Forte too.

Something tells me the Bears will be using that in negotiations.

Angelo: We see you have more yards than anyone this season and you're in the top 3 in yards since you've been in the NFL but those guys that got the big bucks get in the endzone. Even John Kuhn scores touchdowns.
