Willie Parker-Best Running Back In The AFC?
913574
yes he is, in his second year hes doing things that most RBs cant do, hes always pulling off big runs and receptions, doesnt fumble much and is always healthy, and he was a undrafted freeagent so that makes him even better

Actually Jerome bettis's spot isn't hard to take! Almost anyone can be a BACKUP RUNNING BACK!!!!!\n\nJerome Bettis- 12 games 110 rushes for 368 yds (3.3)avg \n...................9 tds!!\nHe's their real running back if you've heard of fast fast \n\nWillie Parker-15 games 255 rushes for 1202 yds (4.7) avg \n..................4 tds\n\nDuce Staley played only 5 games 38 rushes for 148 yds 1 td\n\nAll this means is they'd only give it to Jerome Bettis sparingly. He didn't even contribute in the Super Bowl. 1 good rush was it. Fast Willie Parker will just get a few more chances at some Tds as will Duce Staley!!!\n\nCan't believe I went threw this much trouble for an answer!!

He's not a freakishly gifted WR like Moss or Owens or Smith, but I would go with Hines Ward. He is a 1000 yard receiver every season, he is probably the best blocking receiver in the league, and may be the most well-rounded receiver currently playing. He's also a team-guy, not a me-guy. And no, I'm not a Steelers fan.

L Yea. Start Barber, he's on a roll. I think he's scored at least one TD in 4 of his last 5 games. Pittsburgh rush D is one of the best and TB rush D is on the bottom half of NFL.\n\nThese stats might help....\nhttp://www.nfl.com/stats/teamsort/NFL/DEF-RUSHING/2006/regular

Absolutely!  The thing that makes him a valuable fantasy player is that he plays on 3rd down.  He'll catch passes and rack up receiving yards.  His durability is a major plus too.  He has stayed pretty healthy for his career.  He's maybe not a first rounder (Larry Johnson and L. Tomlinson), but definitely a high pick.

I would honestly have to say LaDanian Tomlinson. He does everything for the Chargers, and now will have to do even more for them to be successful. He catches passes, runs the ball through an average offensive line. He makes plays that he really shouldnt be able to make, especially with the team he is on. He is the reason why Drew Brees was so successful in SD, because whenever Drew Brees got in trouble he dumped it off to Tomlinson who was almost as dependable as a reciever as he was a RB. LaDanian Tomlinson can do it all. Sure Peyton Manning is good, and so is Tom Brady. But for Manning look at his team the last 3 years...Harrison, Wayne, Edgerrin James (who has recently departed to Arizona). With guys like that it is hard not to be successful. Tom Brady has a lot to do with personel, and the system that Belichick runs in NE. I would definately say that Laanian Tomlinson is the best player in the NFL due to the fact that he does everything you can think of...runs, catches, blocks well for a RB, and leads his team to wins that anybody would not be able to lead them to.\n\n\nReggie Bush will end up with the Houston Texans. I know there has been some weird thoughts now about him goin somewhere else due to the whole "house scandal", but if the Texans are smart they will take him. He provides them with everything they need except for defense. He can return kicks, punts, he can run the ball from the backfield, he can line up as a reciever, he can run trick plays due to his speed, acceleration, and agility. For as bad as theTexans have been defensively, he would hit more than one area, which is exactly what they need.

Larry Johnson will have Holmes stealing 10 carries a game, much like Johnson did last year. Alexander lost a solid guard on the line, but he will still have a solid offense around him. Tomlinson has been good but he tails off at times. I like: Alexander, Johnson, Tomlinson, Portis, then Barber for my top 5. Manning should be about 6-8 Bush should go around mid 30's. What rookie running back has really been that stunning? None. Take him 3rd or 4th round.

The best running back was Johnny "the Jet" Rodgers.  But there best player I think had to be Tommie Frazier, he should have won the Heisman instead of Danny Worfel or Wurful, nobod even knoes who he is.  GO BIG RED!

I think he certainly is in the top 3, but it's hard to pick who's the best one.\n\nFor more on the Rams and the NFL, check this out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

i believe the 'fins have beat the pats at least once these last two seasons. and the fins have made some very significant additions to their team this year. Daunte Culpepper, who despite having his worst season last year 2005, had a season comparable to p. manning in 2004. Cpep will also have the benefit of hooking up with a quality reciever in chambers who has had good seasons with the 'fins with quarterbacks who you might not remember, feeley, ramsey... besides that Saban guided the team last year to a pretty strong finish. theres more points to make but yeah, why not, the 'fins can beat the pats.

Willie Parker this year is like Lamont Jordan or any Raider this year ...he has no trade value what so ever...he's on a 2-5 team, hes not gonna do anything this year.  You'll have to put parker with someone who has value to get anyone  have way decent.

Antonio Gates. He's powerful and has great hands and not to mention he cn block for the best running back in the game\n\nthe besttight end to be is vernon davis. he's a larger more powerful and much quicker version of antonio gates. his only bad thing is he can't block for his life\n\nanother sleeper to be superstar is lenard pope who was drafted in the 3rd round by the cardinals. watch him to bloom with matt lineard throwing to him and larry fitzgerald and mr.boldin on both sides

Definatly. I use to think that Priest Holmes was the best but he was injured and has never come back. But if you can sub for Holmes without missing a beat then you are definatly one of the best. What makes him the best is that he isnt on a strong team when Alexander was on one of the 3 best teams in football last year. If your looking at this year than you choose Johnson as the better runningback. Johnson just gained a great blocker in Kyle Turley. Alexander lost his best blocker. Johnson is the best runningback in the NFL. No if, ands, or buts about it.

Best QB - Peyton Manning (Look at his numbers from '04.  Last year's weren't too shabby either.  Don't tell me Big Ben - he sucked in the Super Bowl despite their win.)\n\nRunning Back - Larry Johnson (1750 yards last year and he didn't even start every game, plus he is a terrific all around back - speed, power, he can catch, etc.  Don't even mention Shawn Alexander - he is only as good as his line, which has suffered this offseason thanks to the loss of Steve Hutchison, and he can't catch worth a damn.)\n\nWide Receiver - Marvin Harrison.  Great routes, great speed, great team player.  Sure, he may not be as big, strong, or fast as a guy like T.O., but it also has to do with what he brings to your team and the chance he gives you to win.\n\nCorner - Lets broaden this category to include all DB's, including safeties.  It is hard to measure what makes a corner good.  Interceptions?  No, because some guys are "shut down corners" who never see a ball thrown their way, and therefore never get picks.  Tackles?  No, for much the same reason.  Although he is a safety, I choose Troy Palumalu for this category - he is simply awesome.\n\nTeam - Pittsburgh.  They sure looked like the best all around team during the playoffs, and they proved it through sound, fundamental offense and a great defense.

by observing reggie rush you can tell that he is no barry sanders.\n\nreggie is going to be a good/great back depending on work ethic but barry is in the top three of all time greats in rb.  \n\n1. jim brown\n2. emmit smith\n3. barry sanders
