Westbrook is a top ten RB...especially being from D.C. HA how ironic. Seriously if they had a draft today peterson would go before westbrook. Sorry not a fan of either team. I have had westbrook on my fantasy team tons of times...excellent point producer , and is philly's best player by far. Adrian Peterson just daisy chained the whole entire NFL last year....as stated more importantly with no passing game what so ever. To say he is not going to do the same if not better this year would be crazy. The Vikings got better on both sides of the ball. If philly played the vikings , peterson would run rampid through philly's wee-man defense. Yeah I said it....so!  Westbrook would obviously not do as well against the viking defense. I think we can agree on that. Peterson is just a better true RB than westbrook , although not by much.

Prisco...honestly man do you ever watch football??

How is Westbrook at number 20?? LOL...the guy should be in the top 5 ... you dont even have Romo on the list and you have Big Ben and Palmer and Brees on the list and Romo was much better then all of them last year..especially Palmer who has been subpar the past 2 seasons...I would take Romo as the 3rd best QB in the league behind Brady and Peyton......where exactly is Jason Whitten?? hes not even on the list???? the guy had over 100 catches last season...you have Stephen Jackson at 36 and he should be in the top 10...you cannot count last season..he was hurt and the Rams had a ton of injuries...he had over 90 catches the year before as a RB....Torry Holt not on this list..lol.....TJ Housh not on this list....come on Prisco...you need to be better then this man...you have the job of writing for sportsline.com....you should prove why by being better and not by writing some terrible article with rankings that are nowhere near accurate

Tough to rack up rushing yards when you team is throwing the ball 80% of the time.

No, Defenses are playing the PASS and you can run draws and traps and crap like that when the defense plays with more dbacks and ZONES than LB's and run blitzes.

 

it IS harder to RUN the ball when defenses KNOW you are going to run the ball.

it IS easier to RUN the ball when defenses are defending the PASS/west coast dump off offense.

period.

I'm an Eagle fan.

They are both great. What Peterson did sharing the ball with Chester Taylor and having a lousy QB was awesome. What Westbrook did with no real threats at WR was also awesome. Any team would be damn happy to have either guy.

The issue is going to be how long can Westbook maintain his pace, and/or is Peterson going to get hurt in the next couple of years and never be the same.

Given the mileage the Eagles have gotten from Westbrook, and the fact that they are going to abuse him again this year, because Fat Andy got on help on the outside, I'd have to say Peterson's future looks brighter.

brf,

    Ever since 4th and 24 I am definately not a Eagles fan at all, but I am in total agreement with you on where Westbrook was placed is complete garbage. Last year he accounted for around 40% of the Eagles total offense. Obviously there are some haters on here. There definitely some Homers on here starting with twisted_one, I didn't even have to look up the profile to tell you he was queeny fan. First, this list was the top 50 football players, not running backs(which in my mind he still has to be up at the very top), so the comment "running backs run the ball" is beyond ignorant, not to mention Westbrook was third last year in rushing yards, gee I guess he must of run the ball. Second to sit there and proclaim that Peterson is better than Westbrook is idiotic, not saying that he can't get there but he has played ONE year and to use the argument that he is a better reciever(soonerfan) because of what he did in college???? Did you take a hit off your crack pipe right before you wrote that? That would of been like saying Ryan Leaf is a better QB than Manning(s), Brady, Favre or any other QB for that matter because "he threw the ball so well in college". Westbrook should be at the very least top 10, and more realistically the top 5 football player. Stop being homers and actually put some thought into your posts.
