Best Backfields in the NFL
 
Check this out from Sports Illustrated. Pats are #4 overall in the league. Not too shabby:

Philip Rivers, LaDanian Tomlinson*lead top NFL*backfield - NFL - SI.com

I would take Pitt, and Atlanta before i would take the giants. #2? ya kiddin me? Jacobs is good when healthy, and nobody will ever convince me that little Manning is any good. Having a SB ring does not mean you're suddenly a good QB.

Any analysis of the Pat's backfield that does not include Faulk, is worthless.

I agree, having the manning name and being a #1 pick puts this guy on a pedestal, but without his 2 best receivers he won't be the same anymore. The criticism will run rampant this year in NY.

I would rate Sammy Morris higher than Maroney

As much as I hate to admit it, Indy at #10 seems low.. the top 4 or 5 are pretty much interchangeable.. Rivers/Tomlinson/Sproles is pretty much equal to Brady/Maroney/Taylor/Morris/FAULK..

What an idiotic ranking.

I can't think of one single NFL backfield that I would take over Brady / Maroney / Taylor / Faulk / Morris.

For the simple reason that it is Tom Fvcking Brady we're talking about.

Yeah, how is Cutler/Forte better than Peyton/Addai?

Who would you rather face in a must-win week 17 game?
