Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Jackson had 200 yards less and 2 TD's less. The numbers are not hugely lower then CJ's but you can't seriously have an ageing Jackson over Johnson ? He's hardly got anything left in the tank and was picked up on a cheap contract after minimal interest.
Gore is good. He had similar stats to Johnson last year, but he had a much better team and line to help him so I factored that in. Over the last 5 years Johnson has outperformed him quite alot, so I factored that in too.
Chris Johnson had one of the best if not the best o-line in the game his first 2 seasons. It was average in his 3rd year and it's tanked the last 2 years. Jamaal Charles is better than Johnson, in Charles 3 seasons as a starter he's only had 84 carries in the redzone, in Johnson's last 3 seasons he has about 40 more redzone carries. Obviously Johnson is going to get a lot more TDs because Charles is taken off the field around the goalline, Johnson is left in. Charles has had over 5 ypc in all 3 full seasons as a starter, Johnson has only done that once and that was his 2000 yard season in which he ran behind a top o-line. Charles had 6 ypc in 2010. Chris Johnson is known for making big plays, and Charles is simply better at it.
Disagree.
Matt Forte is better than McCoy and Drew. We'd have to see how Martin does this year before already deeming him a top 10 back. Morte and Charles are better than Johnson.
I agree with the top 3 though.
Fair enough.
Martin is in early, but he had a great year and more importantly for me he looked the part of a top back.
There is not much between Charles and CJ. The reason I give Johnson the nod is that he has been in this league 5 years and often has an average line and below par passing game to take the heat off him.
Yet every year he has topped 1000 yards, often well exceeding that. He has never dropped below 4 yards a carry, and in 5 years has only missed one game.
He has also ran in 44 TD's the last 5 years, compared to Charles's 17.
I think Forte is a little over-rated and is slowing down. He does have good hands and takes advantage of screen plays well. Its only the last 3 years he has averaged 4 yards a carry or more, and only got to 1000 yards 2 out of those 3 seasons (with the highest being 1094). He has also never hit 10+ TD's in a season on the ground.
Disagree.
