@Kurt your argument for Gore is good. But Today's third best RB is McCoy. You would have convinced me 2 years back. but now this goes to Mccoy
Yeah, I mean this is a vote for the best current players at each respective position, not who's had the best career. I love Gore of course, but at this point in his career he's not in the argument for being one of the best. He's still pretty damn good, especially for his age, but he's a generous step behind the guys on this list right now in terms of level of play and ability.
MCCOY AND LYNCH - can we get a 3A & 3B.. ??? Answer these three questions.. then beg to have your vote reversed! 1. Who would you rather fight in a alley 2. Who do you want running the ball 4th and goal, 1 yard, 2 seconds remaining, down by 5? 3. Who could eat more pickled pigs lips? You'll never see McCoy do this:
I guess that's why McCoy only got 3 votes last round. And seriously, taking Lynch over McCoy? I didn't think someone less deserving than Forte could be chosen over him...I guess I'm wrong.
hahaha it would be different for fantasy football purposes.. but as far as what Lynch does for Seattle, a workhouse pile moving monster that can carry the team when called upon.. Measurables Pass block efficiency Lynch - #10 McCoy - #45 (ouch) https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/05/15/the-pff-101-no-10-marshawn-lynch/ The PFF grading system has proved to be pretty robust over the years. Marshawn Lynch broke it the night that Beastmode was born. With that run in the playoffs we had to concede that a +2 grade simply wasn’t enough of a positive grade to award for the play and had to manually alter his positive in the database. That’s the kind of runner we’re dealing with when it comes to Lynch – a guy who can break not only a defense, but also the very grading system we’re using to evaluate him. Lynch has always been an immensely talented runner, and I suspect had he come into the league in any other season – away from the looming shadow of Adrian Peterson – it would have taken far less time for him to get the recognition he now enjoys (or shies away from). Even back in his relatively disappointing Buffalo days he was running hard against an insurmountable scarcity of blocking. In Seattle, though, his game has gone to another level, and he has become the workhorse that can carry that offense even with average blocking at times. That run against the Saints showed the kind of thing he is capable of, but his ability to force missed tackles is peerless in the league – even when compared to Peterson. This season he forced 75 missed tackles as a runner in the regular season, 11 more as a receiver and the postseason added another 22 across three games. That is a ridiculous rate and by far the most PFF has ever recorded for one runner over a single season. Beastmode may have been born in one paradigm shifting run against the Saints, but he remains alive and well to this day.
Ok, I'm convinced Lynch is better than Forte, but still not McCoy. That same PFF list has Shady rated higher. Hilarious that Forte didn't even make the top 101 players.
