In no particular order, Westbrook, Peterson and Tomlinson.
Westbrook does everything and does it all better than most players do their own jobs. Name one RB that runs, does the WR postion, reads the blitzing, blocks, returns punts, returns kickoffs, causes mismatches with whoever covers him and can pass efficiently as well.
Tomlinson does also near everything as well. He rushes, receives (albeit occasionally) and passes. His frame and size makes him a hard player to take down.
Peterson has now proven that he is a very real superstar in this league. 2 years in a row he has been a top 3 RB. He rushes better than most RB's in the entire league. Has the breakaway speed that is needed to go for the long one and has average hands.
These three are the best at what they do. Best RB can mean a lot these days. So I chose the RB's who are the most dangerous and who can hurt the opposing teams the most. So if I were to rank them by that definition, then I would say Westbrook, Tomlinson and the Peterson.

Exactly. I think it's either Westbrook, Portis, or Maurice Jones-Drew, because each is extremely versatile. Maybe not the fastest, or the best runner of the football, but the most complete RB on the field.

Hey, go and vote on my thread I am about to start. Well, being a Giants fan, I see Westbrook play against us at least twice a year...And he usually does a good job. But hopefully we can stop him tomorrow.

I will tell you this. As much as Jacobs does and as much as a running back trifecta the Giants have, that RB from Dallas, Tayshaun Choice, the backup for Barber, scares the crap out of me. He looks literally like a westbrook clone. He also looks like he is just as effective like Westbrook is as well.

Alright Argus. I guess I am gonna have to school you here.
Rushing Offense
NY Giants #1
Carolina #3
NY Giants went against the #'s 1, 2, 3, 4(three times), 8(twice).
Carolina went against the #'s 1, 5, 9.
NY Giants had gone through it far worse than what Carolina did. NY Giants earned their number 1 spot far more than Carolina earning their number 3 spot. So do not try to tell me something that you feel is better when I know the opposite. While I do give it to you that Carolina has a better than average to almost great running game, to put them ahead of the Giants and Minnesota is complete lunacy. Giants are the best running tandem in the league.

The only stat that matters is the W and the L. The Cards beat the Cats, so that just goes to show that when it comes down to it, stats mean nothing. Giants made it just as far as Carolina. I admit, Giants running offense was pretty good against the Cat's defense, though.
You know, you have a knack for blowing up at me.

I am not blowing up, I just hate ignorance (defined as lack of knowledge) and homerism. I personally think that Westbrook is the best in the league. But it is well know that Peterson has become the best.

But that may be the case, because Derrick Ward could sign elsewhere this offseason.

If Carolina gets a better quarterback, then they will be unstoppable
