Along with being 4th in rushing yards, he was 4th in total yards (1,705), and 4th in 100 yard games (6). I don't think it's that unrealstic to call him a top 5 back.

I couldn't agree more. I know that was Marshall's top 5 list and he's entitled to his opinon. C.P is a top 5 back on my list. He doesn't have to take it to the house everytime he touches the ball.Come Sunday you know #26 is giving it his all.Adrian Peterson,Matt Forte ,Micheal Turner and all these young guys are entertaining in all..but if I had to put my team on a rb's back to carry it would be Clinton Portis'. He hasn't had the luxuries afforded to A.P (a stud O line)or Chris Johnson,DeAngelo Williams or even LaDanian having your back up be just as good as the #1.


In no particular order.... Clinton Portis, Westbrook, Steven Jackson, LaDanian Tomlison, Marion Barber
