The Top 50 NFL Running Backs of 2011


Recommended Posts

I wrote an article detailing Top 50 NFL Running Backs over at the all-haled Bleacher Report.

Constructive criticism is welcomed and I'll do my best to avoid an argument this time DavethePanther. :D

49. Mike Goodson, Carolina Panthers

Goodson is another fourth round pick who has exceeded expectations thus far.

In his second year in the league, he has already put up good numbers in one of the most crowded backfields in the NFL. While Panthers star Deangelo Williams battled injury the entire season, Goodson shined as the compliment back to Jonathan Stewart.

He is very elusive and displays an excellent burst through the hole. He also adds great value as a receiver. However, he needs to solve his fumbling issues before the Panthers increase his workload.

I'll leave the suspense for you to find Stewart and Williams.

Tough to put both Stew and DWill in the top 10, and I tend to agree with their placements. Most of the guys ahead are featured backs and only share a fraction of the wealth. Reading this just makes me want to sign DeAngelo, keep Stew running hard, and get Goodson incorporated more into the passing/return game.

These three studs are imperative to Newton's success. With Double Trouble running as they did in 2008 behind a healthy offensive line, Newton will be able to keep defenses off-balance. It feels damn good to have a threat at the QB position once again.

Here's to a bright future Panther fans, just have a little patience.:cheers2:

Re-signing D-will is a tough decision, for one he's getting older and with age comes injuries. We don't want to sign him and he's always on IR. On the other hand you have a very talented young back who could definitely take Williams place if not resigned. But what happens of J-stew goes down? I can't see Goodson who has fumbling problems as our primary back.

    • Yeah, Moehrig in likely passing situations as a LB/DB hybrid role seems like a better approach then Rozeboom/Wallace.
    • This thread was a fun re-read, and not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I was pretty spot on with the things I was saying about both T-Mac and Hunter, like eerily so.  I really wish I had kept a bunch of screenshots/links to all the arguments I got into with people over the last 2 years over T-Mac, would just be fun to look back on them and laugh. To your post though, it's wild that any NFL GM couldn't see this being the case as 90% of fans out there could see it from a mile away, it really was just common sense, you can't be a full time 2 way player in the NFL today, and he's a better CB than WR, always was. The fact that they traded a future 1st and a 2nd in that draft to move up to take a CB and part time WR is beyond comical, and even if he ends up a great player, is more than likely going to be looked back on as a terrible trade by them.  Two 1st's and a 2nd to take a CB is just asinine, I'm not sure there has ever been a CB who was worth that, even the peak years of Revis or someone like Asomugha weren't worth that, let alone a full career of play.
    • This. The Micah Parsons situation is an anomaly and it takes a moron with a gigantic ego like Jerry Jones to pull it off. The vast majority of these superstar/organization showdowns end up with a massive extension getting inked after a bunch of talking and posturing during the negotiation process with everyone trying to get the best deal from their perspective that they can and then everyone making up in the end - basically the Lamar contract situation. That's the normal process of how those situations play out and why everyone just assumed the Parsons situation would follow the same path but then Jerruh gonna Jerruh. LOL
