Rank these running backs - Page 5

It's a very tough question because RBs are so dependent on the rest of the offense for their success (even moreso than other positions).

I'd put Barber and Westbrook at the top because I think they were most personally responsible for their success. Of the two I always thought Barber was a lot more impressive, but I'm way biased, so take that with a grain of salt.

(On a related note: are there any Giants fans who think that Westbrook was better? Any Eagles fans who think that Barber was better?)

I ranked Alexander last, but my confidence in any of the rankings from 3rd through 7th is extremely low.

Westbrook/Davis

Portis
Barber/SA

i put westbrook as #1 only because he can catch and run and is a factor anytime he is on the field

i put barber last because of his fumble issues most of his career

lol seeing as the last few seasons of his career he had next to no fumbles then this makes no sense at all

westbrook and barber are almost the exact same back, except that barber doesn't have the same injury issues that westbrook does and is far more durable

I had no idea on best, so I picked Davis, although I almost went with Westbrook.

Worst I went with Alexander, easily, though Portis is a shade behind him.
