RBs: Old School vs New School

Postby lukkynumber13 » Mon Nov 14, 2016 12:59 pm

This isn't a debate, but I just figured I'd throw up my list of runners from the late 2000s who made the biggest impact, and compare them to a list of current young RBs. No question the rushers from the old school made a bigger impact, but I do feel like we are looking at a handful of pretty special players right now

OLD SCHOOL:
Gore, played 2005-Current
MJD, played 2006-2014
Lynch, played 2007-2015
AP, played 2007-Current?
Rice, played 2008-2013
CJ2K, played 2008-Current?
Forte, played 2008-Current
Charles, played 2008-Current?
McCoy, played 2009-Current

NEW SCHOOL:
Zeke, 2016-
Bell, 2013-
DJ, 2015-
Gurley, 2015-
M. Gordon, 2015-
Martin, 2012-

At first, I wanted to do a direct player-player comparison, but it's just not possible to do that with every guy. But some players are very similar to older counterparts IMO

I see a tiny bit of Lynch in David Johnson. If Lynch and Leveon had a love child, it would be David Johnson.

Doug Martin is Ray Rice 2.0

I'm not going to compare Zeke and Gurley to AP but some very smart people have

I didn't put CJA on this list but I think you could draw comps from him to MJD
