Re: SI Ranks Offensive Backfields

Im banking on Campbell playing better in the 2nd year of Zorns offense, and the fact that hes in a contract year. I just cant say SI screwed the Skins over in these rankings when as of today Campbell/Portis hasnt done anything to suggest they should be ranked higher based on what happened last season when we actually played good teams in the 2nd half.
What has San Fran, Tampa Bay, KC, Denver, or the Jets done to rank higher? Just because you're not happy with the way JC played last year doesn't make our backfield 26th in the league. If you think fans of these other teams are tickled pink with their QB situation you're dreaming. Cassell isn't playing with NE this year and Randy Moss and Wes Welker won't be in KC waiting for him. Larry Jones hasn't played a full season the last 2 years. Sanchez is a rookie and Jones is good, but not better than Portis. Shaun Hill and Frank Gore? Do you even know who's going to start for TB? Tell me what these other teams have done to be ranked higher. I don't really give a rats ass about this poll but the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I think our perception of the other teams becomes a little slanted by some of the disappointment of our own expectations of the Redskins.
