Running Backs
Running Backs
This has to be the first time that no nominies are running backs. There was a period where 10 straight winners were RBs. In the last 6 years there was one running back. Now not even a nominee. It seems to be a position in decline.
...just one man's opinion.

Denard and... who else are you refering to?
December 8th, 2012 at 10:50 PM |
Who?
Who?
RG3, Cam Newton, Tim Tebow, and probably Troy Smith all would have been running backs, maybe a tight end, and slot receiver back twenty years ago, no more 30 when running backs were winning the Heisman every year. No one was putting your best athlete at quarterback in those days. Bo Jackson would probably be a quarterback today.
So, yeah, really.

I disagree
I disagree
QB, TE (6-6 250 lbs RB?), LOL, and QB.
RB requires side to side agility, where Cammy Cam, and RG3 are more straight-line runners. And Tebow... would have been a FB? maybe a Wisconsin RB. Troy Smith never had great rushing stats and I can't remember if he had great agility.
December 8th, 2012 at 11:14 PM |
Ron Dayne on line one.
Ron Dayne on line one.
Not saying they'd have all been great pros as running backs, receivers, or tight ends. Just that none of them would have been playing quarterback. And they wouldn't have. No coach would have put someone whose primary gift is running at quarterback back in those days. Not unless you were running the wishbone. Newton would never have taken a snap starting in pee wee. Hell, at his size he might have been a defensive end. But not a quarterback.
The Raiders made hay on guys in all sorts of positions who could run fast but didn't have a lot of wiggle. Tebow probably was a fullback/h-back. Troy Smith wasn't getting a shot at quarterback in 1980. There's a reason you didn't have hardly any black quarterbacks. It wasn't because they suddenly figured out how to throw in the year 2000. They were finally given the opportunity rather than getting shuffled to other positions.

I could see that
I could see that
I wasn't watching football back then. Still, guys like Adrian Peterson are RBs and not QBs, even for the spread.
On a side note, am I the only one bothered when annoucer's mention Cam Newton "leaving" Florida (or Mettenberger "leaving" UGA) without the words "kicked off the team?" These guys screwed up pretty bad in each case and the media turns its head. Damn SEC...
December 8th, 2012 at 11:29 PM |
Yeah, more I thought about it
Yeah, more I thought about it
I got the feeling that you thought I was saying that they weren't "real quarterbacks." And I think the first two are doing a good job proving they are QBs in the NFL. Tebow was never a quarterback.
But you'd have a hard time naming those guys equivalent matches in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. 90's to some extent too. Not because no athletes like that existed. They just weren't playing QB.
And the media always glosses over the cheating and dirty; unless they're specifically trying to make a point about dirty cheating. And yeah, it sucks.

Bo Jackson?
Bo Jackson?
Bo Jackson would probably be a RB today too. C'mon man, it's Bo Jackon. He's a freak. Besides, throwing a baseball isn't the same as running an offense
December 8th, 2012 at 11:18 PM |
Do you have any doubt he could throw a ball as well as Denard?
Do you have any doubt he could throw a ball as well as Denard?
Heck, as well as Tebow?
You'd want the ball in his hands every play, and he's be playing for Auburn at quarterback. Or Meyer's Florida, or heck, Rich Rod.

Timothy Tebow
Timothy Tebow
With those few coordinators/coaches, then I'm sure he'd get a shot at QB. But it's Bo Jackson, not the typical All-American RB.
December 8th, 2012 at 11:31 PM |
Yes, all running backs could not be quarterbacks.
Yes, all running backs could not be quarterbacks.
But there were exceptional ones who could have been but never got the chance. I bet Payton would be a full time QB today. (he was actually a depth QB and punter as well as running back).

No Wide Recievers
No Wide Recievers
No Wide Recievers either.
Probably has more to do with the rise of the spread and a greater focus on the quarterback in the offense.
I have to imagine that passing yards plus rushing yards for QB's has been much greater than it ever has in the past.

ESPN is excrement.
Chuck Woodson was the purest defender I've ever seen. He didn't beat Manning because he returned one punt for a TD or caught a few passes. Chuck Woodson shut down half the field. He was the man.
