SpeakEazy Debates "This is the greatest generation of RBs EVER!!"

[Jplaya2023]

I think Acho is prisoner of the moment here. These RBs are nice now, but that 80s, 90s, 00's backs were the nicest to me. The way he kinda dismissed CJ2K is crazy to me.

Plus it may not be the best way to rank as guys dont play all theor career(s) in the same decade, but look at the all decade RB list. The 90s and 00s by far have the best compared to other decades except the 70s.

There’s sm Elite RB talent it’s actually insane
(Except for chiefs ofc lol)

My inner Jet fan is currently seething that "The Electrifying" Freeman McNeil is omitted from the 80s backs.

Mans was a great both on and off the field. McNeil is a huge reason why the NFL has true free agency from the mid 90s to today.

However, good poll overall.

Hunt was pretty good in his prime

i don’t care about any of that (he also didn’t father that)

You asked who was the best in each era was. Tony Dorsett>Roger Craig in the 1980s

Not really. those other names were split out of the backfield. Everything Roger did was from the backfield. Big difference. You’re just caught up in the numbers.

If we are talking Talent I voted the 2000s. I feel like by then the pass blocking aspect and the catching aspect really became a key for offenses. And remember we gotta put Marshall Faulk on that list
