Ouchie-Z-Clown said:i live in SoCal and go to a sportsbar where i can watch all my players. so i see almost every game every week. and you're really just backing up my argument . . . you're throwing out stats. i'm not saying edge isn't a top 10 rb. he is. but he's nowhere near what he used to be (the hands-down best rb in the league) b/c he's never regained that full explosiveness he had when he burst into the league. there were so many times watching him last year that he'd have a crease, pick up 5 yards and be taken down whereas in his pre-injury form he'd have gone for 30-gone. and those openings would spell bigger gainers for both duece and portis. and i could care less about fantasy rankings. of course he's going to be higher than both portis and deuce b/c he plays in an offense that affords everyone on the team a great deal more scoring opportunities (and i expect him score many more tds this year as the friggin' colts won't be on the let's-get-peyton-the-td-record-binge that robbed edge of numerous goalline tds last year . . . no, i'm not bitter).
You're arguement doesn't make sense statiscally, when James has a higher YPC on 40-50 fewer carries, yet you say he doesn't make long runs? He had six 20+ last year and he had nine each of the first 2 years during his best seasons.
