Jamal will go somewhere he feels appreciated and run like a beast. Then, the next year, he will resume sucking.

 
Who'd you vote for and why?
Of those 4 Rbs, I would say only Ahman is really washed up. Jamal has had one really bad year (for him) but if he has one more season like this one then he will join Ahman on the list. Ricky washed up? What leads you to this assumption? And Priest, if it wasn't for his injuries you would not even have thought of putting him on this list. Bad FF numbers <> washed up. Thats said, of those 4, Ricky will post the best FF numbers next year, especially if he somehow ends up on another team as a starter.

 
I vote Lewis and the reason is simple. He is the most gifted runner of the group as well as the yongest. He was severly hampered by not getting the proper training in jail, both physical and medical. I think he has a very nice bounce back year. Only question I have is will it be in Balt?

 
No Curtis Martin?he could rebound. Not that I'll be touching him.Edit to add: I voted Ricky because He's not washed up. He's solid, helped me in one league get to the final 2.

I agree. As of now, he's my top value pick for next year.
 
I voted Ricky, though I hold limited expectations for him. Really, I hold limited expectations for all 4 right now, though of course where they land will have the biggest impact on what transpires next season. This would be a fun do-over poll come August.-QG

Jamal was even worse last year than Ahman was before he got hurt. I think we need more evidence before concluding Green is washed up considering he only had a bad five weeks or whatever it was.

:goodposting: agree completely. think it will be in balt, though
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Priest retires. Vermeil is gone. LJ has stepped up and had a monster season. New coach. If he doesn't retire, I could see him in a Marshall Faulk to Steven Jackson role. Would sub in from time to time.

 
I would have voted for Priest, but I think the chances are too good that he winds up retiring. That left me with Ahman Green. This isn't a statement about how well I think Green will do next year- rather, it is a statement about how POORLY I feel JamLew and Williams will do.

 
Well, considering none of them are washed up....Ahman Green was never that good, he just had a great OL.Jamal Lewis' lead blocker was out most of the season, and he has been playing with injury.Ricky Williams had been splitting carries, he will again next year, but Ronnie Brown sucks, so he'll probably take most of the load. I voted here, and expect him to be a workhorse down the stretch after Brown works his way onto IR.Priest Holmes is done playing football. That'd be like calling someone washed up because they retired.

 
Wish you had added Travis Henry to that list...I voted Ricky....he came on strong at the end, and either gets traded or Miami goes RBBC again. Jamal would be my second choice. He started off the year on a bad note, and it just continued to spiral. Ahman would be my third choice, with Priest last. Do you really think there is room for him with Larry Johnson now? He would be like Faulk was for Steven Jackson. :2cents:

 
By the time opening day rolls around, Holmes will be 32, Green and Williams 29 and Lewis just barely 27 (Aug 29).Gotta go with Lewis. Maybe a year away from the man love will work wonders for him.

 
Depending on where Jamal lands, he will be a beast next year. I blame his lack of success on Anthony Wright and a crappy offensive line.Ahman Green was done before this season started. I doubt he will do much.....Dorsey Levens anyone?Ricky will put up numbers. I liked what he had going in Miami. I think he and Ronnie make a nice one two punch and Lord knows he will be a good influence on the kid...... I barely finished typing that.......Holmes will be the greatest third down/change of pace back the league has ever seen. I think he will be dominant as LJ's change of pace guy. After LJ breaks off a 50 yard run, Holmes comes in to pund it in the end zone.....Jerome Bettis of last year all over again.......until LJ gets hurt and Holmes becomes the starter again.

 
voted ricky hereof the four listed he is the best PHYSICALLY going into next season, but will he get the full opportunity? not in miami...

 
.......until LJ gets hurt and Holmes becomes the starter again.
I highly doubt that. Even sharing duty with LJ this year Priest still managed to suffer a season-ending injury. LJ hasn't had injury issues.
 
I vote Lewis and the reason is simple. He is the most gifted runner of the group as well as the yongest. He was severly hampered by not getting the proper training in jail, both physical and medical. I think he has a very nice bounce back year. Only question I have is will it be in Balt?
:thumbup:
 
My vote is for who ever is lucky enough to get to run behind the all pro seattle offensive line. He may not even be on your list.

 
I wouldnt want any of these guys for any more than a reach 3rd RB or more likely upside 4th. Jamal is NOT going back to Baltimore, he's had a couple of solid years, one great, but has never been a TD machine. Doesnt have very good vision at all, imo, and has always danced around a little too much. Benefited from running behind Ogden, the best LT in the game for a # of yrs. Ahman is done. May contribute in a role, but wouldnt want him as anything more than a 4th or 5th RB. Priest....neck injury...great career...the horse he's been riding is about to ride off into the sunset. Be prepared. Finally, Ricky Williams is and always will be a fruitcake. That said, he seems prepared to contribute as a 2 or very strong 3 RB if he gets moved to the right team. The guy looked good last year and I think he's smoking LESS these days anyway. Id gamble on him in this group before any other.

 
Voted Ricky, although it may depend on his situation. It could be said that it depends on all of those RBs situation, but Ricky has the best chance of bouncing back.

 
Still going with Jamal... the man is very, very good when healthy!

Oh and in shape, haha.

I'm amazed at the Jamal love. Every year, it's another excuse as to why he wasn't anywhere close to as good as his 2000 yard season. People are still clinging to that Jamal, when it's nowhere to be found.

 
Considering Ahman is coming off a ruptured quardacep muscle (not good at all) and Priest simply has not been able to play 16 games for 3 consecutive seasons the choice comes down to Jamal and Ricky.

Considering trade (Ricky) and free agent status (Jamal) it is very possible they both end up on different teams.

They are both very similar backs so their potential production depends almost entirely on where they end up.

Thus it is impossible to have an educated opinion on this question until their team status is resolved.

Therefore I vote Smoo.

edit to add: It is also premature to call Ricky, Jamal and, to a lesser extent because of the injury, Ahman washed up. So double Smoo.

I think when looking at situations that Ahman is the guy that could be the most coveted

Reasons.

1. I think he is the guy under the radar. Therefore he will come fairly cheap on the open market compared to Lewis who will want big bucks and Williams who will cost a high draft pick.

2. I hear his rehabilation is coming along fine.

3. Best pass catcher out of the group which also makes him more enticing

4. I dont think he has as much wear and tear as Lewis and Williams have had either.

I can see all these teams giving him a look as a cheap, veteran option that can give the right team a huge boost. The only negative in the injury and without that he would crush in this contest.
