But he actually only listed 12, bringing us back to 13.
Unless Fred Jackson is just assumed, which would make sense.

I was including him in the group of guys who haven't proven enough yet. But going forward yes I would absolutely take him over Grant. He's a stud.

I expected him to say that about Lynch, they both went to Cal and played together, not really surprising to me. Though I would be surprised if they didn't bring someone else in honestly.

A fantastic statement about an unfortunate fact.

Running backs are easy to replace compared to everything else. The loss of a consistent and reliable back like Grant hurts, but it won't kill their season.

13 guys without giving it much thought and not including guys who haven't proven anything yet and will be better. That's average.

Get the **** out of here with Pierre Thomas and Cedric Benson.
Here's the post I made in the Packers forum earlier today.

Why the **** do people refuse to give Ryan Grant any credit at all? 23rd? No ******* way.
Chris Johnson
Adrian Peterson
Steven Jackson
Frank Gore
Maurice Jones-Drew
Michael Turner
Deangelo Williams
Ray Rice
Those are the guys that are better than Ryan Grant
Rashard Mendenhall
Jamaal Charles
Jonathan Stewart
Those are the guys that are just behind/even to Ryan Grant
Ryan Grant is a top 12 back, no matter how much this forum wants to hate him.

I didn't even scan over it that long, and noticed you left off Ray Rice. I won't make too much of a big deal about it because I'm sure it was a mistake.

Pierre Thomas >>> Grant
Better runner and better pass catcher.

Hm, I even know I thought of him when writing that, I must have just missed actually type his name.

Benson is borderline and I do think he was overrated last year, but Pierre Thomas is a much better all around player than Ryan Grant. Great receiver out of the backfield and not any less of a runner than Grant. Grant doesn't have great speed, power, moves, or anything really. He has pretty good vision and hits the whole as hard as he can until first contact. The number of running backs in the league who can do that is too many to count.
Guys that haven't proven enough but will be better in a year or two-
Beanie Wells
Jamaal Charles
Felix Jones if he stays healthy
Jahvid Best
Lesean McCoy
Shonne Greene
