What team has the best core or running backs?

[Trainwreck2100]

???

[Avante]

That would be the San Francisco 49ers way back in the day with...

Joe "The Jet" Perry....speed!!!!!!!!
Hugh "The King" McElhenny...as elusive as any back who had ever played the game up to that point in time.
John Henry Johnson...mean and powerful, wicked forearm shiver.

All in the Hall of Fame.

The best one-two punch ever was when Bobby Mitc a sprinter/hurdler teamed up with big Jim Brown with the Browns. The NFL has never seen a better fullback/halfback combo.

The St.Louis Cards had a great group of backs once upon a time in...

Bill "Thunder" Thornton a big powerhouse out of Nebraska
Prentice Gault a do it type out of Oklahoma
Joe Childress a 9.6 white cat.
John David Crow a 1000 yard rusher out of Texas A&M, where he won the Heisman.

Gotta like that Dolphins trio with Czonla/Morris/Kiick.

Right now today the NO Saints have a great gang, a great blend of diverse talents in Ingram/Ivory/Thomas/Sproles

If the Niners ever got LaMichael James and Brandon Jacobs going they would be right there also. As we know Frank Gore is a stud and Kendall Hunter has those quicks.

The Steelers have a solid three headed monster going if they could ever get them all healthy.

Another great one-two punch was when the Bears had Rick Casares a powerhouse 1000 yard rusher and the fastest back in the league at that time Willie Galimore.





Only 9.6 speed when the world record was 9.3.

[Trainwreck2100]

i guess nobody wants to answer the question, just leech

[Avante]

Let's talk the best 4 backs for all these teams over time. Those that played for more than one team with go where they were the most successful.

I'll start with the NFC South.

Falcons

Gerald Riggs Arizona State
William Andrews Auburn
Jamal Anderson Utah
Warrick Dunn FSU

Saints

Deuce McAlister Mississippi
George Rogers South Carolina
Dalton Hilliard LSU
Ruben Myes Washington

Buc's

James Wilder Missouri
Mike Alstott Purdue
Cadillac Williams Auburn
Michael Pittman Fresno State

Panthers

DeAngelo Williams Memphis
Jonathan Stewart Oregon
Tim Biakutuka Michigan
DeShaun Foster UCLA


Will do the other divisions later.

[Blake]

Oilers:
Pinkett, Rozier, Highsmith, L. White

[Avante]

Oilers:
Pinkett, Rozier, Highsmith, L. White

Then there's reality...

Earl Campbell
Lorenzo White
Hoyle Granger
Mike Rozier

You sure know your alright, trying to talk Oilers with no Earl Campbell, hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

So tell ne Princess who was the first 1000 yard rusher for the Oilers?

[Blake]

The four running backs I referenced were on the team at the same time.

Idionte, further proving you don't know , princess, per par etc.

I gotta be honest I didn't think you'd know that.

[Avante]

NFC West

Niners

Frank Gore Miami
Joe Perry Compton JC
Roger Craig Nebraska
Hugh McElhenny Washington

Cards

Ottis Anderson Miami
Stump Mitc The Citadel
Terry Metcalf Long Beach State
Jim Otis Ohio State

Seahawks

Shaun Alexander Alabama
Chris Warren Furman
Curt Warner Penn State
Marshawn Lynch Cal

Rams

Eric erson SMU
Steven Jackson Oregon State
Marshall Faulk San Diego State
Lawrence McCutheon Colorado State

I would have to see all of the backs times in the 100m before I could make a decision

No problem. Keep in mind not all backs were also sprinters. A lot of them were too big or too thick legged. More quick than fast. Then there are those who were sprinters, here they are.

Trindon Holliday 10.0 LSU/Broncos
Jeff Demps 10.01 Florida/Pats
Curtis ey 10.11 Texas A&M/Colts
Jamaal Charles 10.18 Texas/Chiefs
Michael Bennett 10.18 Wisconsin/Vikings
Warrick Dunn 10.4ish FSU/Falcons
James Owens 10.4ish UCLA/Niners
Chris Rainey 10.4ish Florida/Steelers


yards

O.J. Simpson 9.4 USC/Bills
Eugene White 9.4 Florida A&M/Raiders
Amos Marsh 9.5 Oregon/Cowboys
Joe Delaney 9.4 NWLa/Chiefs
Cyril Pinder 9.4 Illinois/Eagles
Billy Cannon 9.5 LSU/Oilers
Buddy Young 9.5 Illionis/Colts
Ollie Matson 9.6 U of SF/Rams/Olympic 400m medalist

Robert Smith was a 400m guy while at Ohio State, 45.7. I'd guess he had 10.4ish type 100 speed.

High school stars

Napolean Kaufman 10.4ish Cal State 100 champ/Washington/Raiders
Reggie Bush 10.4ish/USC/Dolphins
Justin Vargas 10.4ish Cal State 100 Champ/USC/Raiders
Eric erson 10.3ish/SMU/Rams
Chris Johnson 10.4ish East Carolina/ ans
C.J. Spiller 10.4ish Cemson/Bills

Obviously Gale Sayers and Tony Dorsett had great speed, nothing as far as a legit 100 time. Sayers did lead the nation in the long jump as a high schooler. Dorsett did run a 9.6 in a Superstars compe ion.

I gotta be honest I didn't think you'd know that.

I know you didn't know. You're a ing idiot.

[Avante]

I know you didn't know. You're a ing idiot.

if I didn't moron. I know ever back the Oilers have ever had. I could talk about guys you've never even heard of. How about Ronnie Coleman, Charley Tolar, Don Hardeman? Are you ever going to figure this out?

I'm wondering if you'll ever figure out that everyone here has got you figured out, princess.

You're an idiot.

You need me to be an idiot for some reason obviously. It bugs the out of you that you don't and I do, you make that very obvious. Dude, you don't know anything about the history, the teams, nothing so you must hassle me because I do. Why not just adcept the fact I'm an historian and you are some dumbass kid?

[johnsmith]

It bugs the out of you that you don't and I do,

Weird. Blake, you might want to get that checked out dude.

It's just pure entertainment that you continue to be one.

Over and over and over and over.

[Blake]

I think I've taken some pretty healthy dumps on Avante.

I guess when you live on a daily basis in , at some point you don't recognize it as any more.

Dude, why do you even post on a football board when it's very obvious to everyone that you don't know a ing thing about the game? That has always been a mystery to me.

What's sad is that you're so ing stupid you really believe that. I own you dude and have for awhile now.

See, right here, you're being delusional. Man you're ing dumb.

[Avante]

See, right here, you're being delusional. Man you're ing dumb.

Wrong as usual, I have this little hook line and sinker. Look at your dumb ass, I totally own you also.

[Blake]

Rofl.

no, I'm still correct in that everyone but you knows how much you've eaten.

[Blake]

Wrong as usual, I have this little hook line and sinker. Look at your dumb ass, I totally own you also.

Rofl. Wrong per the ol usual.

When you fail to hit 70% at the end of the year, I'm sure you'll ignore it and claim you still own me and the rest of the board.

[Avante]

Rofl.

no, I'm still correct in that everyone but you knows how much you've eaten.

Dude, I can put up with your ignorance as long as you are trying to talk football. Once you head off into 14/15 year oldville I gotta ignore ya. Grow up, ok?
