LeSean McCoy is so second best, he causes accidental second posts.

I'm gonna count tandem as the top two rushers on a team that have over 200 yards.
By the numbers:
Atlanta (Michael Turner and Jacquizz Rodgers) - 1545 yards, 12 TDs
Baltimore (Ray Rice and Ricky Williams) - 1808 yards, 14 TDs
Buffalo (Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller) - 1495 yards, 10 TDs
Carolina (DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart) - 1597 yards, 11 TDs
Chicago (Matt Forte and Marion Barber) - 1419 yards, 9 TDs
Cincinnati (Cedric Benson and Bernard Scott) - 1447 yards, 9 TDs
Cleveland (Peyton Hillis and Chris Ogbonnaya) - 921 yards, 4 TDs
Dallas (DeMarco Murray and Felix Jones) - 1472 yards, 3 TDs
Denver (Willis McGahee and Lance Ball) - 1601 yards, 5 TDs
Detroit (Javhid Best and Kevin Smith) - 746 yards, 6 TDs
Green Bay (Ryan Grant and James Starks) - 1137 yards, 3 TDs
Houston (Arian Foster and Ben Tate) - 2166 yards, 14 TDs
Indianapolis (Joseph Addai and Donald Brown) - 1078 yards, 6 TDs
Kansas City (Dexter McCluster and Jackie Battle) - 1113 yards, 3 TDs
Minnesota (Toby Gerhart and Adrian Peterson) - 1501 yards, 14 TDs
New England (BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Stevan Ridley) - 1108 yards, 12 TDs
New Orleans (Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas) - 1165 yards, 7 TDs
New York Giants (Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw) - 1230 yards, 16 TDs
New York Jets (Shonn Greene and LaDanian Tomlinson) - 1334 yards, 7 TDs

Would be interesting what the total yards from scrimmage are.
Top 5 backs in the league are Peterson then Foster than MJD then Charles then LeSean for those that don't know.

No Forte?

Not in the top 5. He'd be in the 6-10 range with Ray Rice, Michael Turner, Deangelo Williams, and Steven Jackson.
I'm amazed at how far off Chris Johnson has fallen. After 2009, people thought he was neck and neck with Peterson as the top back in the NFL, and now he's hovering around the 10 mark.

Beainie Wells plus Ryan Williams / thread
Posted on 6/1/12 at 4:32 am to Jcorye1
Rice and Drew are the top 2 best and most complete runningbacks
Posted on 6/1/12 at 6:40 am to Psauce
If you're talking strictly duo, then I'd probably say Foster/Tate or Williams/Stewart. But if you're talking backfield in general, I don't know anyone with more talented depth than the Saints: Sproles, Thomas, Ingram with a year under his belt, and Ivory.

MJD is on the downside of his career. McCoy is entering his prime.

Drew is better right now and thats hat the question is.
Posted on 6/1/12 at 7:57 am to VerlanderBEAST
Drew had 300 more yards rushing on 70 more carries. McCoy had 20 total touchdowns to mjd's 11. Receiving stats are a wash with McCoy having 5 more catches and MJD having 20-30 more yards. MJD played 1 more game as well. Seems like a wash to me.

You are kidding with that, right?
Sproles is the only really scary one in that group, and is basically a receiver out of the backfield. Thomas is an good back, Ingram showed almost nothing last year, and Ivory is the definition of injury risk.

One good year and he's top 5? Hell Chris Johnson broke the NFL record for yards from scrimmage in a single season just a couple years ago...and even though he sucked last year at least he still played
