tsiguy96 · 08-09-2008, 06:09 PM

imagine they can have ANY rb in the league, who would you want them to get?

id say steven jackson for sure. hes a perfect runner for our system, powerful one cut runner whos also extremely fast. i can dream

who would you want?

RonDaChamp24 · 08-09-2008, 06:13 PM

1. LaDanian Tomlinson
2. Larry Johnson
3. Steven Jackson

Kaylore · 08-09-2008, 06:17 PM

LT, I guess. LJ is done and Jackson may or may not be a one shot wonder.

telluride · 08-09-2008, 06:19 PM

You know, I'd just be happy with a healthy Torain.

Broncosfreak_56 · 08-09-2008, 06:20 PM

Adrian Peterson.

lex · 08-09-2008, 06:47 PM

Id rather draft one...Id rather stick with Selvin Young and draft one at some point in the 1st or 2nd.

I hope your Jarry Lohnson pick is a joke.

I would take Marshawn Lynch, Adrian Peterson above JL.

Broncos4Life · 08-09-2008, 11:20 PM

I say we go out of our way to get Jackson. I really dont give a **** what we give up for him. young looked like ****.

DarkHorse30 · 08-09-2008, 11:22 PM

Sue me, but I like our current crop. Coach Burns knows running backs, and we have a slew of good ones.

Killericon · 08-09-2008, 11:34 PM

IMO, if we cut Pittman and sign Shaun Alexander, we're set.

Premier-Ace55 · 08-09-2008, 11:39 PM

Steven Jackson would be more effective for our scheme but I would take a healthy Ryan Torrain, Alex Gibbs, and a solid RT anyday of the week.

yea i too would take a rookie whos never played a snap in teh NFL over one of the most powerful backs in the league...

Br0nc0Buster · 08-10-2008, 12:09 AM

Either Adrian Peterson or Steven Jackson

Both are absolute beasts
Its harder for Jackson to get his due because he plays on a crappy team with a crappy oline(their oline was god awful last year)

Wes Mantooth · 08-10-2008, 12:51 AM

This position will not be a factor without an o-line.

BroncoMan4ever · 08-10-2008, 02:57 AM

Jonathan Stewart or Michael Bush

Los Broncos · 08-10-2008, 06:15 AM

Maurice Drew is my pick.

In the first pre-season game, with the following line:
LT - rookie
LG - missed all last season
C - FA signing, just joined the first unit
RG - played LG all last season
RT - didn't play all last season

Yeah, where was the continuity? How did these five guys not gel within the ZBS without seeing any live fire and only having the last few days together as a unit?

We were pretty close to a second string OL out there fresh out of the gates yesterday, down our first string C and RG. You fix those issues, give the young'uns some more time, and then try critiquing our running game.

Alex Gibbs is the ****in man. Put him in there with Clady, Hamilton, Nails, TFTP, and Kuper at RT. Then Im happy. Then plug my sister in at RB and she gets 1,500.

ANIMAL24 · 08-10-2008, 01:27 PM

Maurice Drew or a.d.

oubronco · 08-10-2008, 01:31 PM

Killericon · 08-10-2008, 01:39 PM

FYI, to answer the question, my pick is AD.

Adrian Petterson

azbroncfan · 08-10-2008, 02:47 PM

I'd sign S. Alexander for a year until next years draft. He doesn't have tons left in the tank but enough for one year. Save the draft picks.
