SI Ranks Offensive Backfields

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.

I think the rankings are wrong. Some of these teams are ranked too high or too low. I also think that Campbell/Portis will play better than some of the teams ranked ahead of them.

All im pointing out is its hard for me to debate Campbell/Portis being ahead of teams that also have flaws. Until Campbell steps up his game and throws with alot more accuracy Im not going to go up and down this list (that is really pointless) and say the Skins are better than maybe 3 or 4 teams on this list.

As for my perception of other teams in the league I know every team in the league inside and out. The bottom line is Campbell hasnt shown me he can be a successful starting QB in the NFL. He still has the potenial to be pretty good but until he shows me it on the field I cant debate moving him ahead of any team.
