I know alot of you will say LT but I will agrue for Clinton Portis. heres why, he has played 4 seasons and has gotten well over 1000 yards each one of those years. has looked explosive this season even after his shoulder dislocation. he has even passed for a TD just like LT. who is the best RB?
 
Out of the guys you listed, I went with Tiki Barber.

He is the prototypical all-purpose back. He quietly puts up fantastic stats, and I enjoy watching him play because he reminds me of Thurman Thomas, who was the quintessential all-purpose RB.

I think his numbers are even more impressive when you consider that his o-line hasn't always been spectacular and that he's played with a variety of QBs and few statistical superstars on offense.
 
i voted for portis. maybe it's not a fair decision though because i see portis play every week the others i see occasionally. he catches alot of balls, he makes tons of yards after first hit, and as you saw w/the 1st two games of the season, apparently the team w/all that offense (s.moss, randle el, and lloyd and cooley) can't seem to win w/out him.

as of today, i would probably take portis at #2. but i just cant put him ahead of LT. hes incredible

Edge

The Cards O-line makes the Phins O-line look like the Cowboys of the 90's.


i would take the first 2 years edge over any RB definitly.
 
i dont see how you can even list Johnson or Portis on that very short list.

LT got my vote.

Alexander, Barber, and LT are all at the top.
