1) LaDainian Tomlinson
2) Steven Jackson
3) Larry Johnson
4) Adrian Peterson
5) Could be anyone from Gore, Westbrook, Portis or McGahee IMO
Then theres like, 10 guys that could go anywhere.
Take out Larry Johnson, he is already on his way down.
The List should be :
1. LT
2. Steven Jackson
3. Adrian Peterson
4. Westbrook
5. Marion Barber

Well two things about that. For one thing, he was only averaging 4.1 ypc which is more about bulk than anything. (It put him at 25th on ypc among qualified RBs)
Second, what about Adrian Peterson? He missed 2 games in the middle of the season. In a scenario where neither gets hurt and misses a couple games (im just gonna say two whole games with willie as well since he had 1 attempt in the game he was injured), Peterson beats him out.
If you factor in that they decided to rest him for the second half of his first game back and look at how he already had torn up that D for over 100 yards, it would be even moreso.
It doesnt really matter, I'm just saying if youre going to do a what if with one guys injury, shouldnt you include another guy who was his competition and missed the same amount of games?
