I didn't realize people actually thought Lendale White was good.

That's the dumbest thing i've heard in a while. So if i had two Brandon Jacobses, that would compliment each other in no way whatsoever, but they both ran for a buck fifty a game, you would take a fast guy and a strong guy over them? That's ridiculous. I don't care if they run the exact same way, they both produce. Fred Taylor isn't producing. What the hell else are you gonna compare?

Next year I think Steelers can challenge this...
Willie Parker, Rashard Mendenhall, Mewelde Moore, Gary Russell.
I'm really liking it.
I think Dallas has a heck of a nice Backfield next year as well.
Marion Barber, Felix Jones, Tashard Choice.. any of those guys could be starters.
Before Pitt drafted Mendy I really wanted Choice. He really beat us up.
My Vote goes to: Tennessee... If Fisher wasn't shutting Chris Johnson down quite a bit the dude would probably be leading the league in rushing.
Lendale should thank Johnson... Lendale actually is starting to look the part now.
I hope Mendenhall shows up around 225 again and really rocks it.

Marion Barber and Felix Jones were gonna make some noise as a tandem this year, till Felix broke all of our hearts. :(

Um, I dont know how that counters my argument at all. I'm saying that Taylor does nothing to compliment Peterson and doesnt nearly touch the ball enough for that be considered a duo. It's just naming the best back with his backup, like I said. By the way, two Brandon Jacobs? What does that have to do with anything?

He will be TJ Ducket in two years. Johnson is legit though.

I know what you mean. Mendenhall broke his shoulder in like week 4, but he was looking pretty solid against the Ravens, showing an incredible burst.
I'm betting Willie Parker is on a different team in 2010.

I thought you were talking about the Jacksonville running game.. my bad lol. I get what you're saying, but Chester Taylor has 86 carries this year with four touchdowns. That's not as much as the other guys, but you really don't need him to take many carries. Besides, last year he showed everyone what he could do with that line should they need to give him the load. He's no scrub.

haha I'm not saying the Jacksonville duo is better.
Taylor only touches the ball like 6 times a game. I don't think that qualifies Minnesota as a duo considering AP gets about 23, that's just a "AP/AD is tired, get in" back.
Rushes per game:
Tennessee: Chris Johnson 17, Lendale 13
Carolina: DeAngelo 16, Stewart 10
Jacksonville: MJD 11, Taylor 11
New York: Jacobs 16, Ward 10
Just examples of what I interpret as a duo..

DeAngelo is > AD because he doesn't fumble
And Chester Taylor could start in some places, but not that many. Remember he went to the Vikings in the first place because he wasn't starting in Baltimore
I think Stewart's explosiveness edges Lenwhale in the Titans duo.
The Giants trio has an argument

my point was, this is an tandem thread, so how can you enclude 3 backs on a team? doesn't make sense. Your tandem is Jacobs and Ward(pending Jacobs injury.)

Quit now before you continue down this path. Just stop watching football since you know nothing. LOLZ.
This post reminds me of that one post someone made about how we shouldn't have resigned Rodgers during the season, lolz.

What? It's true. AD's talent trumps Williams' a thousand times over but in actual VALUE DeAngelo has been better this year. If the Vikings offered Peterson for Williams would I take it straight up? Hell yes, because you can fix fumbling. But in the 2008 season DeAngelo has been worth more

Adrian Peterson is on pace to be a top 5 RB of all time. Deangelo isn't even top 5 right now.

hold on, you would rather take a running back that has been in a tandem his entire NFL career then a running back who can single handily take over games and win them for you? you sound smart.

I don't know what you've been smoking, but it must be damn good and i want some.
The Vikings have Gus Frerotte and Tarvaris Jackson playing quarterback for them. I think that's where the argument starts and ends.

That's not what I'm arguing. In any given baseball season someone could be having a better year than Albert Pujols, that doesn't mean he's better than Pujols, it means he's having a better year

You're right. **** Peterson' 23 carries 108 yards a game. Worthless. Absolutely Worthless.

DeAngelo did just fine when he touched the ball last season with David Carr as his QB. It wasn't his fault Fox didn't start him over DeShaun ****ing Foster
